About this award
This is a contract award by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center to Architecture Technology, Inc., doing business as Architecture Technology Corp., for research on alternate assurance concepts for introducing new technologies and establishing airworthiness of novel airborne system architectures. The $872,125.00 Firm Fixed Price contract is a Delivery Order under NASA's Basic and Applied Aerospace Research and Technology (BAART) indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle. The research will focus on general aviation aircraft and rotorcraft, but may also be applicable to transport category aircraft. The scope is limited to the system safety assessment process and does not extend to hardware and software item-level assurance. The contract has no set-aside designation and was completed on March 26, 2020.
Description
Effectiveness of alternate concepts to contemporary development assurance processes: this research will focus on general aviation (GA) aircraft and rotorcraft (standard airworthiness certification regulations part 23, part 27); however, because of increasing design complexity of some GA aircraft, assurance approaches developed or evaluated through this research may also be applicable to their transport category counterparts (part 25, part 29). The scope of this task is the system safety assessment (SSA), discussed in aerospace recommended practice (ARP) 4754A [4] (section 5.1), and elaborated within ARP 4671 [5], and does not extend into hardware [6] and software [7] item-level assurance. While this scope assumes that the safety assessment is grounded in hazards analysis starting with top-level aircraft functions, the research is not constrained to the methodology defined in the ARP documents. For instance, alternate approaches to conducting the functional hazard analysis (FHA), such as the application of stpa (system-theoretic process analysis) [8], may be proposed as the hazards analysis approach. The objectives of this task order are to identify, demonstrate, and evaluate the efficacy of alternate assurance concepts for accepting the introduction of new technologies into existing airborne system architectures, and to identify, demonstrate, and evaluate the efficacy of alternate assurance concepts for establishing airworthiness of novel, unprecedented airborne system architectures.
