Contract Overview

Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.

AI Contract Overview

NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center has issued a Cooperative Agreement Notice focused on developing a prototype airborne surveillance system with low cost, size, weight, and power (C-SWaP) designed to detect and track non-cooperative aircraft. This system is intended to support Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Detect and Avoid (DAA) capabilities. The project is being managed by the UAS Integration in the National Airspace System (NAS) initiative and aims to collaboratively develop and demonstrate this technology through a cooperative agreement. NASA anticipates awarding one cooperative agreement with a performance period of up to three years. The recipient is expected to be a commercial firm due to the substantial cost-sharing requirements, and under NASA policy, commercial recipients are not eligible to receive a profit from the agreement. Interested parties must monitor the NSPIRES website for the release of the full solicitation details, including due dates and submission instructions. Proposals must be submitted electronically by the stated deadline to be considered. Eligibility criteria and other important provisions are outlined in the solicitation, which will be governed by Title 14 CFR Part 1274. Points of contact for questions include a designated Contracting Officer and Agreement Officer, both reachable via NASA email addresses. This initiative supports the broader goal of enhancing beyond-visual-line-of-sight UAS safety and integration into the national airspace through innovative surveillance technology.

Full Description

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC), released a Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) entitled Development of an Airborne Low Cost, Size, Weight, and Power (C-SWaP) Surveillance System for Detecting and Tracking Non-Cooperative Aircraft Supporting Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Detect and Avoid (DAA). This solicitation is being released by The UAS Integration in the National Airspace System (NAS) project, or UAS-NAS Project. The purpose of this cooperative agreement (CA) is to conduct a shared resource project that will develop, demonstrate and support the further development of a prototype airborne low C-SWaP surveillance system that can detect and track non-cooperative aircraft for use within a UAS DAA system. Complete details (to include due dates) can be accessed via the following steps: 1. Open the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ 2. Select "Solicitations" 3. Select "Open Solicitations" 4. Select " NND17617089C" NASA AFRC anticipates award of one (1) cooperative agreement as a result of the CAN. The period of performance is expected to be a maximum of three (3) years from the effective date of award. Due to the extent of cost-sharing required for this program, NASA anticipates the Recipient will be a commercial firm. NASA's policies regarding cooperative agreements with commercial firms can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 14, Chapter V, Part 1274. The provisions contained in Part 1274 of the CFR will be applicable to the CAN. As stated in the 14 CFR - 1274.204(f), commercial firm recipients of NASA cooperative agreements may not be paid a profit. Electronically submitted Notices of Intent shall be submitted to the email address identified in the CAN. Proposal due date and exact location of submissions will be identified in the CAN. Proposals received after that deadline will not be considered. Recipient eligibility will be based upon the requirements that are set forth in the CAN. Potential offerors are responsible for monitoring the NSPIRES site for the release of the CAN and any amendments, and for downloading their own copy of the CAN and amendments (if any).
