About this award
This is a $490,392.00 firm fixed-price contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center to Dependable Computing LLC, a for-profit limited liability company. The contract's scope is to investigate the verification, validation, and certification implications on autonomous systems that provide safety mechanisms currently provided by humans. The contract objectives are to identify: safety requirements when the human role in a system's operation is reduced or eliminated due to autonomy; changes necessary in systems safety assurance methods to account for changes to human roles; changes necessary in system architectures to provide an equivalent or better level of safety for autonomous systems; and new verification and validation capabilities needed to assure autonomous systems. This contract is not associated with a larger contract vehicle or set-aside designation.
Description
NRA-NASA(national aeronautics and space administration)research announcement - argument based identification of new safety technology for increasingly autonomous systems - the scope of this contract is the investigation of the verification, validation, and certification implications on autonomous systems that provide safety mechanisms (e.g., functions or procedures) that are currently provided by humans. The meaning of autonomous includes both the ideas of complex decision-making and self-governance. The scope includes all types of autonomous systems, including new autonomous systems, autonomous systems replacing conventional (non-autonomous) systems, conventional systems acquiring autonomous functionality, and autonomous systems working alongside humans. The objectives of this contract is as follows: - identify safety requirements introduced when the safety-oriented human role in a systems operation is reduced, changed or eliminated, due to the introduction of an autonomous system. - identify changes necessary in systems safety assurance methods to account for changes to human roles (e.g. task responsibilities and decision-making authority). - identify changes necessary in system architectures to provide an equivalent, or better, level of safety for autonomous systems. - identify new verification and validation (v & v) capabilities needed to assure autonomous systems.
