About this award
This is a $218,600 firm fixed price Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Optinav Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Bellevue, Washington. The contract is for the further development of a novel in-flow microphone array combined with a state-of-the-art functional beamforming algorithm to enable practical measurement of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) noise in a non-acoustic wind tunnel. This innovation addresses the challenge of expensive, specialized facilities typically required for aerospace vehicle noise measurement. The proposal aims to commercialize this noise measurement technique as a service using the Kirsten Wind Tunnel at the University of Washington.
Description
Noise measurement of aerospace vehicles is difficult and usually requires expensive, specialized facilities. With the proliferation of uavs there is need for noise data, both for ISR and non-military vehicles. Wind tunnel testing is common and much less expensive. The innovation is a novel in-flow microphone array combined with the start of the art functional beamforming algorithm that makes IT practical to measure UAV noise in a non-acoustic wind tunnel. The proposal calls for further development of the measurement technique so that IT can be commercialized as a service using the kirsten wind tunnel at the university of washington.
