AI Contract Overview
This contract involves upgrading and enhancing the Probabilistic NAS Platform simulation software tool, which was originally developed by Saab Sensis. The primary objective is to improve the software's basic modeling capabilities within the airport terminal area to support upcoming studies. Key technical requirements include integrating new FAA re-categorization wake turbulence separation standards and miles-in-trail spacing, as well as developing an Application Program Interface to allow for dynamic changes to airport configurations, such as runway usage and arrival or departure routes, during simulations. Additionally, the scope of work requires the terminal area model to be enhanced to support the simulation of wind conditions and the calculation of flight fuel burn. This effort is categorized under NAICS code 541511 and was processed as an award notice following a limited sources justification.

Full Description
Currently, the PNP simulation software tool has very basic modeling capabilities regarding the airport terminal area. The PNP Terminal Area Modeling software requires a series of enhancements to support planned studies. The following enhancements are required under this action:
a. Incorporate new wake spacing standards into the PNP terminal area modeling. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has recently approved a re-categorization (RECAT) of wake turbulence separation minima from the current standard to a new standard. The PNP simulation software tool needs to be enhanced to utilize the miles-in-trail separation standards and to use the aircraft categorizations associated with the new RECAT standard. b. Create a framework to allow the airport configuration (i.e., runway usage, available arrival and departure routes) to be changed dynamically during the simulation. The development of an Application Program Interface (API) is needed to allow a client software program to exchange information with PNP and request an airport configuration change when needed. c. Enhance the terminal area model to support the modeling of winds in the airport terminal area. d. Enhance the terminal area model and reporting to support flight fuel burn calculations in the terminal area In accordance with FAR 8.405-6(a)(2), a copy of the Limited Sources Justification supporting this task order is attached.
