Statement of Work For Near Space Vehicle Platform Analysis. The Space and Missile Defense Battle Lab (SMDBL) located in Colorado Springs has a re quirement for Near Space Vehicle Platform analysis. The Statement of Work (SOW) is as follows: Period of Performance: 365 days (1 year) from the date of award of the contract. Deliverables: Written Final Report submitted to the SMDBL in hard copy and elect ronic format no later than 365 days (1 year) from the date of award of the contract, plus oral presentations on progress approximately every 90 days, beginning 90 days from the date of award of the contract. The reports shall be delivered with unlimited da ta rights as defined in DFAR 252.227-7013, Rights in Technical Data--Noncommercial Items. Technical tasks to be performed: (1) Perform a quantitative Survey of Potential Power Sources and storage medium for future Near Space Platforms - Proposed sources fo r propulsion and payload power for advanced near-space platforms include photovoltaic cells, various fueled engines, fuel cells and batteries. Examine unique strengths and weaknesses of each technology in areas such as energy density, power density, longe vity, and scalability. Quantitatively compare various power technologies, and identify crossover points, for use in preliminary design tools. Estimate and project Technology Readiness Levels for potential technologies. Estimate and project key performanc e parameters. (2) Perform data mining and compile existing weather data at altitudes above 65,000 feet to develop statistical meteorological models. (3) Assess the Gliding Range of Un-powered Payload-Return Vehicle For an un-powered fixed-wing vehicle us ed for returning a payload from near space, maximum gliding range is an important mission-performance parameter. Use glide vehicle configurations selected with SMDBL to develop estimates of maximum range through the application of trajectory-optimization techniques, and by considering the possible utility of wind gradients and thermals for extending range.
