This is a $499,128.48 Firm Fixed Price Definitive Contract awarded by NASA's Ames Research Center to Mosaic ATM, Inc., a small business subchapter S corporation based in Leesburg, Virginia. The contract is part of NASA's SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) Program Phase III and supports the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate and NextGen Airspace Project.
The objective is to develop methods for acquiring long-range weather data beyond 2-hour forecasts and integrate it into an existing air traffic management tool, such as the Future Air Traffic Management Concepts Evaluation Tool (FACET). This will provide more accurate estimates of airspace capacity when affected by weather, improving air traffic management. The contract has a total small business set-aside designation.
Mosaic ATM is a leading aviation R&D company that specializes in air traffic management, air traffic control, and advanced aerial mobility solutions. They frequently collaborate with prime contractors on larger federal contracts and hold two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) with the FAA - the $2.268 billion Systems Engineering and Technical Innovative Solutions (SETIS) contract and the $9.8 million Transportation Heavy Freight Research and Testing (THFRAT) contract.
