NASA ANNOUNCES CALIFORNIA AERONAUTICS RESEARCH AWARDS
WASHINGTON - NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, Aviation
Safety Program, has awarded approximately $500,000 to SRI International,
Menlo Park, for its proposal, "Formal Verification and Automated Testing
for Diagnostic and Monitoring Systems Using Hybrid Abstraction."
NASA also has awarded approximately $300,000 to Stanford University for
its proposal, "Integrated Large-Area Sensor/Actuator Network Technology
for Structural Health Monitoring," approximately $250,000 for the
university's proposal, "An Integrated Passive-Active Interactive
Diagnostic Technique Based on Efficient Inverse Methods for Condition
Monitoring and Damage Detection for an Integrated Vehicle Health
Monitoring Management" and approximately $250,000 for the university's
proposal, "A Robust Structural Health Management Technology for Airframe
Structures."
Teledyne Scientific & Imaging LLC, Thousand Oaks, will receive
approximately $170,000 for its proposal, "Damage Initiation in Virtual
Tests for Composite Materials."
NASA's Aviation Safety Program conducts cutting-edge research to improve
the safety of current and future aircraft operating in the National
Airspace System. The research will focus on the way vehicles are
designed, built, operated and maintained. Scientists and engineers in
this program develop principles, 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.
In addition, the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate's Fundamental
Aeronautics Program has awarded approximately $404,000 to M4 Engineering
Inc., Long Beach, for work described in its NASA research announcement
proposal entitled, "High Fidelity Multidisciplinary Design and
Optimization: Software Infrastructure and Application to Subsonic
Aircraft."
The Fundamental Aeronautics Program's research enables vehicles designed
to fly through any atmosphere at any speed. Long-term goals include
increasing the performance of future vehicles and significantly
advancing technologies critical to reducing noise, emissions and fuel
consumption. The program also supports NASA's space exploration plans
through advancements in fundamental technology that can impact the
ability to access space and survive planetary entry, descent and
landing.
These awards will foster close collaboration with and facilitate the
exchange of ideas and information among researchers within NASA,
industry, academia and other government agencies to benefit the nation's
aeronautics community.
