About this IDV

NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center awarded a single-award IDIQ to CSIRO - Industrial Physics Division with a $600,000 ceiling on September 24, 2010, with final completion on September 23, 2015. The contract supports development and demonstration of a structural health monitoring system for thermal protection systems (TPS) in aerospace vehicles, integrating technologies developed by NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center and CSIRO through a multi-phased research effort.

Place of performance is Australia. The IDIQ encompasses a five-year research and development program structured in logical maturation phases: development and prototype demonstration testing, laboratory and bench-top demonstration testing, large-scale ground test demonstration, and flight demonstration testing. The system combines piezoelectric acoustic emission sensors to detect and locate damaging impacts with optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor networks to evaluate the effect of detected damage on TPS thermal conductivity.

Task orders issued under this IDIQ include a feasibility and initial design study ($175,000, awarded September 28, 2010), completion of design study ($100,000, awarded September 27, 2011), final design and fabrication of heat shield prototype ($100,000, awarded September 25, 2012), heat shield prototype health monitoring demonstration ($125,000, awarded September 26, 2013), and final design and fabrication of heat shield prototype ($100,000, awarded September 19, 2014). All task orders are firm-fixed-price delivery orders performed in Australia and issued by Armstrong Flight Research Center. The collaborative effort builds on NASA-CSIRO research partnerships beginning in 2001 and focuses on developing robust, scalable, self-organizing optical fiber sensing networks for aerospace vehicle structural assessment.
