NASA ANNOUNCES NORTH CAROLINA AERONAUTICS RESEARCH AWARD
NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, Aviation Safety
Program, Washington, has awarded approximately $138,000 to the Research
Triangle Institute, Research Triangle Park, N.C., for work described in
their NASA research announcement proposal entitled "Characterization of
Airborne Runway Incursion Sensors."
The Aviation Safety Program also awarded approximately $131,000 to North
Carolina State University, Raleigh, N.C., for work described in their
proposal entitled "Testing and Validation of a Psychologically Defined
Metric of Display Clutter."
These awards will foster close collaboration with and facilitate the
exchange of ideas and information among researchers at NASA, industry,
academia, and other government agencies to benefit the nation's
aeronautics community.
The Aviation Safety Program conducts cutting-edge research dedicated to
improving the safety of current and future aircraft operating in the
National Airspace System. The research focus is on the way vehicles are
designed, built, operated, and maintained. Scientists and engineers in
this program develop principles, guidelines, concepts, tools, methods,
and technologies to address four areas: Aircraft Aging and Durability,
Integrated Intelligent Flight Deck Technologies, Integrated Vehicle
Health Management, and Integrated Resilient Aircraft Control.
