About this award
Ames Research Center issued a delivery order with a $3.68 million ceiling to Analytical Mechanics Associates, Inc. on April 1, 2026, set aside for Total Small Business and priced on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis. Performance runs through March 31, 2027 at Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View, California.
The requirement covers aeromechanics and structural dynamics analysis, vertical lift support, and computational fluid dynamics in support of rotorcraft and HELIOS projects. The task description calls for development, verification, and validation of RCAS and RCAS/Helios aeromechanics simulations that compute aerodynamic and structural loads for experimental validation activities and specific Army vehicle configurations. The work requires X3D, VABS, RCAS, and CAMRAD 2, along with coupled CFD and comprehensive analysis that alternate rotor airloads and blade motions between modules. Rotorcraft aeroelastic expertise is required, including whirl flutter analysis for multi-rotor configurations and rotor airload validation against experimental data.
Advanced Rotorcraft Technology, Inc. and CFD Research Corporation are named as subcontractors on the order.
