This sensor will be an improvement over the Terminal Descent Sensor...

This is a $124,829 firm-fixed-price SBIR Phase I contract awarded by NASA to Advanced Scientific Concepts, Inc., a small business manufacturer located in Santa Barbara, CA. The contract is for the development of a miniaturized 3D flash LIDAR sensor to enable safe autonomous landing and hazard avoidance capabilities for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating in national airspace. This sensor technology is an extension of the 3D flash LIDAR used in NASA's ALHAT system for autonomous lunar...

Aeromancer Technologies Corporation, a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business in Washington, D.C., was awarded a $124,969.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract is for the development of a 3D LIDAR Global Airspeed Sensor (3D-GLAS) for remote optical sensing of three-component airspeeds in wind tunnel applications. This SBIR Phase I contract will fund requirements...

This SBIR Phase II contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Aeromancer Technologies Corporation, a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business based in Washington, D.C. The contract, valued at $749,998.00, is for the development of a 3D Global LIDAR Airspeed Sensor (3D-LGAS) using aerosol correlation velocimetry for standoff sensing of high-resolution, spatially and temporally resolved three-component global airspeeds. The...

This is a $124,381 firm fixed price Phase I SBIR contract awarded by NASA to Sibelloptics, a veteran-owned small business located in Lafayette, Colorado. The contract is for the conceptual design of a compact, efficient, and reliable LIDAR system that can be deployed on various platforms such as balloons, small satellites, CubeSats, and ground-based exploratory systems. The goal is to develop a coherent LIDAR system for wind measurement that can meet the size, weight, power, and reliability...

NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center awarded a $383,495.00 firm-fixed-price purchase order to Vaisala Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer, for the purchase of a scanning pulsed coherent Doppler lidar system, along with travel and training. The lidar equipment will be used to measure 3-D winds in the boundary layer and middle troposphere at the Edwards Air Force Base location in California. This requirement was full and open, with no set-aside designation. Vaisala is a provider of specialized...

This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Tao Of Systems Integration, Inc., a small disadvantaged business, for the development of a sensor system providing real-time measurement of sectional aerodynamic forces and moments. The system is intended to address aviation loss-of-control accidents, which often result from stall and uncertain weather/flow conditions during take-off and landing. The proposed technology uses a robust...

This is a Phase I and Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Michigan Aerospace Corporation (MAC), a small business, for the development of a micro atmospheric data sensor suitable for planetary entry, descent, and landing (EDL) maneuvers. The goal is to develop a compact, rugged optical atmospheric data sensor capable of measuring free stream velocity during EDL, using a novel...

This is a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by NASA to Irvine Sensors Corporation, a small business prime contractor. The contract, valued at $748,360, is for the design and development of a flight prototype of an eye-safe 3D LIDAR sensor system for use on unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The sensor, called the Active Continuous Awareness Surveillance System (ACASS), will detect nearby aircraft and enable avoidance maneuvers, providing a detect-and-avoid...
