- Description
- Recovery NASA LARC awarded a cost plus fixed fee contract to HoneywellInternational entitled RESEARCH IN VALIDATION AND VERIFICATION OF SAFETY-CRITICALINTEGRATED DISTRBUTED SYSTEMS. This competitive action is partially funded through theAmerican Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 and was awarded pursuant to the2009 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters released NASAResearch Announcement (NRA) for foundational research in support of the AeronauticsResearch Mission Directorate (ARMD). ARMD conducts research across a breadth of coreaeronautics competencies; research in key areas related to the development of advancedaircraft technologies and systems; and research that supports the Next Generation AirTransportation System (NEXTGen), in partnership with the Joint Planning and DevelopmentOffice (JPDO). The JPDO has identified a lack of validation and verification (V&V)methods needed to certify the safety of complex, NextGen systems as a critical gap. As aJPDO member agency, NASA is targeting this critical gap through the verification andValidation of Flight-Critical Systems (VVFCS) initiative in ARMDs Aviation SafetyProgram. The Integrated Distributed Systems research area emphasizes the advancement anddevelopment of V&V methods that meet the challenges for future aviation systems that mustoperate as an integrated network of distributed systems. The objective of the ARRA fundedresearch is to develop a collection of technologies and mathematical models that enablerigorous, comprehensive analysis of functionally integrated distributed systemsinteracting through various structures such as communications networks andhuman-automation and human-human interaction. The principal focus is to developcapabilities and supporting evidence to enable defensible, explicit assurance claimsconcerning safety implications introduced by technological advances in distributedaviations systems. The base year of the contract will be ARRA funded in the amount of$1,287,541 ($1,192,296 total estimated cost and $95,245 fixed fee). The contract alsocontains a two-year option period that is not ARRA funded in the amount of $3,091,654($2,862,892 total estimated cost and $228,762 fixed fee). A cost contract was determinedmost appropriate for this procurement because the uncertain nature of the researchactivities associated with contract performance does not permit costs to be estimatedwith the accuracy necessary to allow the use of a fixed-priced contract type.
