| 80LARC18F0149CONTINUATION OF FAR TERM TECHNOLOGY DASHBOARD TO SUPPORT THE AATT PROJECT. THE ADVANCED AIR TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGY (AATT) PROJECT S OVERARCHING GOAL IS TO EXPLORE AND DEVELOP TECHNOLOGIES AND CONCEPTS TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY, ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY, AND ECONOMIC IMPACT OF FIXED WING TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT. TO IDENTIFY TECHNOLOGY AND VEHICLE SOLUTIONS THAT MEET THE PROJECT S GOALS REQUIRES THE USE OF SYSTEM-LEVEL ANALYSIS WITH THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF FIDELITY TO QUANTIFY FEASIBILITY, INTERDEPENDENCIES BETWEEN TECHNOLOGIES, BENEFITS, AND DEGRADATIONS. PRIOR WORK HAS RESULTED IN A DASHBOARD CAPABILITY THAT ESTIMATES THE BENEFITS OF AATT TECHNOLOGIES ON CONVENTIONAL TUBE AND WING CONFIGURATIONS. THIS PROVIDES THE AATT PROJECT AN ABILITY TO EXAMINE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS AND TRADEOFFS USING AN INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT ENABLES USER DEFINED TECHNOLOGY SCENARIOS TO BE SELECTED WITH RAPID ESTIMATES OF BENEFITS AGAINST METRICS OF INTEREST SUCH AS FUEL CONSUMPTION, NOISE, AND EMISSIONS. HOWEVER, THERE IS A NEED TO EXTEND THIS CAPABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF UNCONVENTIONAL CONFIGURATIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES, SUCH AS HYBRID-ELECTRIC PROPULSION. THERE IS ALSO A NEED TO UPDATE THE BASELINES USED TO DETERMINE TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS TO BE MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF NEW IN-SERVICE AIRCRAFT. THE MAJOR OBJECTIVE FOR THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS TO ENHANCE THE AATT TECHNOLOGY DASHBOARD BY UPDATING BASELINE REFERENCE VEHICLES AND INCORPORATING THE EVALUATION OF TECHNOLOGIES ON UNCONVENTIONAL CONFIGURATIONS. IN ADDITION, PREVIOUSLY COMPILED INFORMATION ON AATT TECHNOLOGIES WILL BE UPDATED AS NEEDED TO ENSURE THE COMPLETE TECHNOLOGY DATABASE IS CURRENT. STUDIES AND DATA RESULTING FROM NASA CONTRACT NNL13AA08B TASK ORDER NNL17AA71T SHALL BE THE INITIAL STARTING POINT FOR THIS TASK. | National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationNASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER | NAICS 541712PSC AR11 | $1M | Jul 17, 2018 – Nov 30, 2020 |

THIS TASK IS AN EXTENSION OF THE WORK INITIATED UNDER NIA TASK 80LARC17F0050. | National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationNASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER | NAICS 541712PSC AR11 | $122,450 | Aug 10, 2018 – Dec 31, 2022 |
| 80LARC19F0068ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF ON DEMAND AIR MOBILITY: VERTIPORTS, AIRSPACE AND CONCEPTS. THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF AEROSPACE (NIA), WORKING WITH THE MIT INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR AIR TRANSPORTATION (ICAT), CONDUCTED PART I OF THE OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF ON-DEMAND AIR MOBILITY STUDY FROM FEBRUARY 2016 THROUGH JULY 2017. THIS FIRST PART OF THE PROJECT COMPLETED A CASE STUDY IN LOS ANGELES TO IDENTIFY KEY SYSTEM-LEVEL CONSTRAINTS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ON DEMAND MOBILITY (ODM) AVIATION SERVICES IN THE CONTEXT OF URBAN AIR MOBILITY (UAM). PART II OF THE STUDY, TITLED FURTHER ANALYSIS OF THE OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF ON-DEMAND MOBILITY, WAS CONDUCTED FROM JULY 2017 TO JANUARY 2019. PART II EXPANDED THE CASE STUDY METHODOLOGY DEVELOPED IN PART I TO TWO ADDITIONAL CITIES, PRIORITIZED AND CHARACTERIZED THE SEVERITY OF THE IDENTIFIED OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS, AND DEVELOPED INITIAL MODELING TECHNIQUES FOR VERTIPORT OPERATIONS AND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL. THIS WORK WAS PERFORMED UNDER NASA/NIA CONTRACT NO: NNL13AA08B; TASK ORDER NO: 80LARC17F0074. THE INTENT OF THIS NEW TASK IS TO BUILD UPON THE FINDINGS AND OUTPUTS OF THE PART I AND II EFFORTS THROUGH A FOLLOW-ON STUDY. A PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS FOLLOW-ON WORK IS TO REFINE AND MATURE THE MODELS, TOOLS AND ANALYSIS METHODS DEVELOPED IN THE PREVIOUS PARTS OF THE PROJECT INTO A DOCUMENTED DELIVERABLE THAT CAN INFORM DEVELOPMENT OF THE NASA AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT-EXPLORATION (ATM-X) TESTBED FOR USE IN SIMULATION ENVIRONMENTS AND STUDIES. FURTHERMORE, WHERE REQUESTED BY NASA, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE CONTRACTOR WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF UAM CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS (CONOPS) AND TECHNOLOGY ROAD MAPPING THROUGH RESEARCH BRIEFS, TELECONFERENCES, AND PARTICIPATION IN MEETINGS. THE CONTRACTOR WILL INTERFACE WITH OTHER RESEARCH PROGRAMS, SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS, AND CONSULTANTS AS NECESSARY, FOR RESEARCH INTO SPECIFIC TOPICS THAT MAY ARISE. | National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationNASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER | NAICS 541712PSC AR11 | $421,492 | Jun 12, 2019 – May 31, 2023 |

| 80LARC19F0057MODEL-BASED AIRCRAFT CERTIFICATION. MODERN AIRCRAFT ARE COMPLEX MACHINES WITH NUMEROUS INTERACTING SYSTEMS THAT ARE USED TO TRANSPORT GOODS OR PASSENGERS OVER GREAT DISTANCES AT HIGH SPEEDS. IMPROPER DESIGN OR OPERATION OF AN AIRCRAFT MAY POSE A SAFETY RISK TO CREW AND PASSENGERS ONBOARD THE MACHINE, AS WELL AS PEOPLE AND PROPERTY NEAR THE AIRCRAFT OPERATION. GIVEN THESE POTENTIAL RISKS, MOST AIRCRAFT ARE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT-MANDATED SAFETY RULES THAT APPLY TO THE AIRWORTHINESS OF THE DESIGN, THE PRODUCTION PROCESSES USED TO MAKE THESE MACHINES, AND THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF INDIVIDUAL AIRCRAFT. CERTIFICATION REFERS TO SOME ACCEPTED FORM OF PROOF THAT THESE RULES HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED. MODEL-BASED SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (MBSE) IS AN EMERGING DISCIPLINE THAT LEVERAGES MODELS, RATHER THAN DOCUMENTS, FOR SYSTEMS ENGINEERING EXERCISES. THIS INCLUDES DEVELOPING MODELS THAT REPRESENT REQUIREMENTS, AND LINKING THESE MODELS TO OTHER MODELS OF VERIFICATION PROCEDURES. DEFINING REQUIREMENTS AND ASSOCIATED VERIFICATIONS IN MODELS, RATHER THAN DOCUMENTS, OPENS UP A VARIETY OF NEW DATABASE-DRIVEN APPROACHES TO STREAMLINE GENERATION OF SYSTEMS ENGINEERING WORKFLOWS. AT ITS CORE, AIRCRAFT CERTIFICATION IS A PRESCRIBED SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PROCESS IDENTIFICATION OF CORE REQUIREMENTS, SELECTION OF MEANS TO VERIFY COMPLIANCE, AND GENERATION OF EVIDENCE SUFFICIENT FOR VERIFICATION. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS TASK ORDER IS TO DEMONSTRATE HOW MBSE TECHNIQUES CAN BE LEVERAGED TO GENERATE SPECIFIC AIRCRAFT CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS AND VERIFICATION EVIDENCE (MEANS OF COMPLIANCE). | National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationNASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER | NAICS 541712PSC AR11 | $435,074 | Apr 26, 2019 – Dec 22, 2020 |
