The federal contract award NNX17CS57C, valued at $204,921.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the small business prime contractor Simpson Weather Associates, Inc. of Charlottesville, Virginia. The contract is for the design, development, and demonstration of the Advanced Coherent Detection Wind Space Pathfinder (WIND SP) Lidar, which directly advances the technology maturation and readiness of coherent detection wind measurements towards a future 3D Global Wind Space Mission. The contract is set aside for small businesses and represents a major step towards the ultimate wind space mission. Simpson Weather Associates has extensive experience in airborne Doppler wind lidar systems and data processing algorithms, which it will leverage to deliver this space-ready coherent detection wind lidar instrument.

Description

The advanced coherent detection wind space pathfinder (wind SP) lidar directly advances the overall technology maturation and readiness of coherent detection wind measurements towards the 3D global wind space mission. IT represents a major next step that will result in a new instrument that matches form, fit, and function of the lidar subsystem with a space-ready instrument while retaining appropriate alignment accessibility. The primary objective of the wind space pathfinder activity is to design, develop, and demonstrate a next generation coherent detection wind lidar that represents a major step towards the ultimate wind space mission. Simpson weather associates of charlottesville, VA is a small business of 8-10 employees and numerous consultants from the university of virginia and the private sector. Since 2002, SWA has been flying airborne doppler wind lidars over coastal regions, in complex mountain-valley terrain, and around severe storms. SWA has developed numerous data processing algorithms dealing with issues such as ground effects, aircraft effects, and pointing that have enabled the optimum retrieval of useful profile data from a raw lidar signal.
