- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center (JSC) is seeking parties interested in collaborative development and mature technologies required for NASAs future missions and to enhance life on Earth. JSC is looking to partner on the development of broadly applicable technologies as a means to accelerate technology development and strengthen commercialization of federally-funded research and development. Purpose: JSC is seeking to further develop NASA JSCs current Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) methodology, which utilizes placeholder risk values to represent the risk of losing a mission due to software/automation. These placeholder values are based on general, high-level assessments and are not program/software specific during the design process. As future space programs utilize more automated processes, a need exists to meet the challenge of identifying more specific software risk contributors. Technology: NASA JSC has been working to better understand the risk of software as a contributor in future space missions and to advance current technologies to address the risks of software required functionality that would be compatible and consistent with the standard PRA methodology currently employed by NASA JSC. Given a generic application of software across industries, the same can be said and a substantial application of this methodology can be foreseen. R&D Status: The current toolset includes the Space Shuttle Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) methodology. Initial research for this technology has begun; no development initiatives to date. Intellectual Property (IP): This Partner relationship may produce new IP that could be jointly owned by NASA and the partner or may become the property of the partner. This announcement is not to be construed as a Request for Proposal and is not a commitment by the government, nor will the government pay for any information provided. Since this is an Announcement, no evaluation letters or results will be issued to the respondents.
