About this award
This is a delivery order contract awarded by the NASA Langley Research Center to the National Institute of Aerospace Associates (NIA), a non-profit aerospace research and education organization, for a total ceiling value of $54,594.81. The contract involves conducting high-fidelity flight simulation experiments to: 1) raise the technology readiness level for selected new technologies, 2) discover factors contributing to loss of airplane state awareness, 3) assess usability and acceptability of new technologies, and 4) advance test infrastructure capabilities. Commercial airline pilots will fly scenarios to provide feedback on flight deck display technologies developed by NASA and its partners. The contract has no set-aside designation. NIA is supported by this contract as a prime contractor and has also received other NASA grants and subcontract awards related to aeronautics, atmospheric science, and hypersonics research.
Description
Airplane automation and information management experiments. Involves high-fidelity flight simulation experiments designed to address four objectives: (1) raise the technology readiness level for selected new technologies via testing across a span of conditions and platforms; (2) discover previously unknown contributing factors to loss of airplane state awareness; (3) assess the usability and acceptability of the new technologies; and (4) advance test infrastructure capability for subsequent tests including validating test platform performance. Two prior automation and information management experiments (aime-1 and aime-2) were conducted to address many of these research goals. Follow-on experiments are being planned now. In these tests, commercial airline pilots will fly specific scenarios and provide feedback on the flight deck technologies employed in the scenario. As part of experiment preparation, realistic scenarios need to be designed that will exercise test conditions that achieve experiment objectives. In addition, flight deck display technologies (developed by NASA and its partners) will be evaluated for their performance and usability by pilots.
