A -- RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT POC Michael Rausa, (410) 278-5028 Tina, The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Survivability/Lethality Analysis Directorate, is actively seeking a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) partner for the further development and commercialization of BRL-CAD technology. BRL-CAD is a geometric modeling and computer-aided analysis software environment developed by ARL and its predecessor organizations. A detailed description of this software environment and its capabilities can be found at http://web.arl.mil/software/brlcad/index.html. The software, of which version 5.0 will be released imminently, is already a critical tool for the survivability/lethality analysis community, and enhancements could greatly broaden its utility for the academic and commercial sectors. Additionally, the code has demonstrated its utility relative to simulation based acquisition. The CRADA partner will assist in enhancing, documenting, distributing, maintaining, and providing user support for the software. A meeting was held at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, 25 August 1998, to discuss the specifics of the proposed CRADA. The presentation charts and sample agreements, licenses, business plan forms, etc. from this meeting can be downloaded from http://www.federallabs.org/flc/ma/pl/brlcad_lic_inf.htm. A business plan must be completed and submitted in order to be considered as a potential CRADA partner. All interested parties must submit their business plans to the following address NLT 15 Oct 98: Michael D. Rausa, U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Office of Research and Technology Application Bldg 433, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005-5425 mrausa@arl.mil, 410-278-5028 (phone), -5820 (fax).
