This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by NASA to Great Lakes Sound & Vibration Inc. (GLSV), a small business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm, for the development of a NASA Auralization Framework (NAF) plug-in using acoustic ray tracing techniques. The $749,821 firm-fixed-price contract is in response to NASA's interest in innovative technologies for vertical lift and urban air mobility (UAM) vehicles, with a focus on modeling sound propagation in urban environments to create auralizations of UAM vehicles. GLSV, a manufacturer of goods and provider of noise and vibration engineering services, has been awarded multiple federal contracts, including from the Defense Logistics Agency and the Departments of the Air Force and Army, often under small business or HUBZone set-asides.
