Recovery - surface conflict detection and resolution with emphasis ontrajectory-based operations

Added: Jun 17, 2010 11:58 am RECOVERY ACT THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY.OPTIMAL SYNTHESIS INC. WAS COMPETITIVELY SELECTED UNDER NASA RESEARCH ANNOUNCEMENT.NASA Ames Research Center has committed support for specific efforts under the AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Recovery Act funds for NASAs Airspace SystemsProgram Research funded by the Recovery Act. The NASA Research Announcement (NRA), NNH09ZEA001N-AP1R, sought proposals that focus onachieving the highest possible efficiency in the use of such airportal resources asgates, taxiways, runways, and metroplex airspace. The NextGen Airportal Project objective is to conduct research to develop concepts andtechnologies that would enable significant increases in efficiency and throughput ofairport surface operations while maintaining safety. NASA Ames Research Center intends to issue a contract entitled Surface ConflictDetection and Resolution with Emphasis on Trajectory-Based Operations, which will focuson ground-based conflict detection and resolution (CD&R) algorithm development. The proposal was previously submitted in response to a NASA Research AnnouncementNNH09ZEA001N-AP1R, Research Opportunities in Aeronautics (ROA) 2009 issued April 13,2009.This effort will be performed at Optimal Synthesis, Inc., authorized under the AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. This announcement will not result in a Request for Proposal; this announcement is forinformational purposes only.
