Welcome
Welcome to the United States (U.S.) Department of
the Navy's Atlantic Fleet Training and Testing (AFTT) Environmental Impact

online resource for information concerning training and testing activities in
sea space in and airspace over the Atlantic Ocean along the eastern coast of
North America, portions of the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico (the AFTT
