IGF::OT::IGF - FLIGHT CRITICAL SYSTEMS RESEARCH - THE CONTRACTOR SHALL CONDUCT BASIC AND APPLIED RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT, SYSTEMS ANALYSES, AND SYSTEMS INTEGRATION IN AIRBORNE AND GROUND-BASED SYSTEMS CRITICAL TO FLIGHT SAFETY, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL. THE WORK TO BE PERFORMED WILL BE DEFINED IN PERFORMANCE BASED TASK ORDERS ISSUED BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION H, H.8 TASK ORDERING PROCEDURE (NFS 1852.216-80) (OCTOBER 1996). THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFINING OPERATIONAL AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS, AND FOR DELIVERING ENGINEERING AND RESEARCH RESULTS THAT MEET THE SPECIFIC TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS DEFINED IN THE SOW OF EACH TASK ORDER. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL FURNISH ALL PERSONNEL, FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT, MATERIAL, SUPPLIES, AND SERVICES TO PERFORM THE WORK AS OUTLINED IN EACH TASK ORDER, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ITEMS DESIGNATED AS GOVERNMENT FURNISHED. CREW SYSTEMS AND AVIATION OPERATIONS: THIS WORK AREA INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO: INTEGRATED FLIGHT DECK SYSTEMS; AIRCRAFT SELF-SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTED AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT; ATMOSPHERIC HAZARD AWARENESS AND AVOIDANCE; SITUATION AWARENESS ASSESSMENT; SYNTHETIC VISION; HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE; AND HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN. THESE RESEARCH AREAS INVESTIGATE AVIATION SAFETY AND AIRSPACE CAPACITY ISSUES SUCH AS CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN (CFIT), LOSS OF CONTROL IN FLIGHT, RUNWAY INCURSIONS, HIGH DENSITY AIR TRAFFIC OPERATIONS, AND OPERATION OF REMOTELY PILOTED AND AUTONOMOUS AIRCRAFT. SAFETY-CRITICAL AVIATION SYSTEM: THIS WORK AREA INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO: MATHEMATICAL PROOF OF SAFETY PROPERTIES FOR SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE; QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS TO ENSURE FUNCTIONALITY, RELIABILITY, AND SAFETY; SYSTEM SAFETY ASSURANCE; FAULT TOLERANCE; FAULT MODELING AND EMULATION; REAL-TIME UPSET DETECTION AND RECOVERY; ARCHITECTURE CONCEPTS TO IMPROVE SYSTEM ROBUSTNESS TO DISTURBANCES; VEHICLE HEALTH MANAGEMENT; COMMERCIAL-OFF-THE-SHELF TECHNOLOGY IN SAFETY-CRITICAL SYSTEMS; COMPLEXITY MODELING AND MANAGEMENT; AND INTEGRATED MODULAR AVIONICS. SPECIFIC RESEARCH TOPICS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: THE PREVENTION AND REDUCTION OF MALFUNCTIONS AND FAILURES IN AIRCRAFT AND AIRSPACE SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS BY DEVELOPING DESIGN AND ASSESSMENT TOOLS TO VERIFY SYSTEM DESIGN CORRECTNESS AND VALIDATE REQUIRED SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY; THE INVESTIGATION, DEVELOPMENT, AND INTEGRATION OF EXISTING AND FUTURE SENSING/PROCESSING TECHNOLOGIES TO ENABLE VEHICLE-WIDE HEALTH MONITORING; AND AIRWORTHINESS AND SYSTEM SAFETY FOR UNMANNED AIRCRAFT, AUTONOMOUS, AND ROBOTIC SYSTEMS. FLIGHT CRITICAL SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND INTEGRATION: THIS WORK AREA INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, PERFORMANCE OF SYSTEMS ENGINEERING IN SUPPORT OF NOVEL FLIGHT CRITICAL SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPMENT FROM RESEARCH CONCEPT THROUGH SIMULATION AND TEST TO FLIGHT EXPERIMENT.
