  SINCE 1985, NASA AMES RESEARCH CENTER HAS OPERATED ITS AIRBORNE SUNPHOTOMETERS ON VARIOUS AIRCRAFT IN SUPPORT OF A WIDE VARIETY OF STRATOSPHERIC AND TROPOSPHERIC CLIMATE-FORCING AND SATELLITE VALIDATION STUDIES. IN 2008, THE 14-CHANNEL AMES AIRBORNE TRACKING SUNPHOTOMETER (AATS-14) WAS OPERATED ABOARD THE NASA P-3B AIRCRAFT DURING THE ARCTIC RESEARCH OF THE COMPOSITION OF THE TROPOSPHERE FROM AIRCRAFT AND SATELLITES (ARCTAS) FIELD EXPERIMENT BASED IN FAIRBANKS, ALASKA IN SPRING AND COLD LAKE, ALBERTA IN SUMMER. IN OCTOBER 2011, THE AATS-14 WAS OPERATED ON A TWIN-OTTER DURING THE NASA AMES COASTAL OCEAN AND AIRBORNE SCIENCE TESTBED (COAST) FIELD EXPERIMENT BASED IN MARINA, CALIFORNIA. THE AATS-14 WILL BE FLOWN ON THE NASA DC-8 DURING THE SOUTHEAST ASIA COMPOSITION, CLOUD, CLIMATE COUPLING REGIONAL STUDY (SEAC4RS), BASED IN THAILAND IN AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2012. A NEW AIRBORNE SPECTORADIOMETER, SPECTROMETER FOR SKY-SCANNING, SUN-TRACKING ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH (4STAR), WITH ENHANCED MEASUREMENT CAPABILITIES HAS BEEN BUILT, TEST-FLOWN, AND CONTINUES TO BE REFINED AS A JOINT EFFORT BY THE NASA AMES RESEARCH CENTER AND THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY S (DOE) PACIFIC NORTHWEST NATIONAL LABORATORY. THIS INSTRUMENT WILL BE OPERATED DURING TWO INTENSIVE AIRCRAFT FIELD CAMPAIGNS, ONE IN SUMMER 2012 AND ONE IN WINTER 2013, AS PART OF THE DOE TWO-COLUMN AEROSOL PROJECT (TCAP). MR. JOHN M. LIVINGSTON OF SRI INTERNATIONAL (SRI) HAS BEEN A COLLABORATIVE MEMBER OF THE AMES SUNPHOTOMETER SATELLITE GROUP SINCE THE MID-1980S. HE IS CURRENTLY FUNDED UNDER NASA AMES COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NNX09AO52A, WHICH WILL TERMINATE ON 31 JULY 2012. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO SECURE FUNDING FOR MR. LIVINGSTON'S CONTINUING PARTICIPATION IN ONGOING AND FUTURE GROUP INVESTIGATIONS AND HIS COLLABORATION WITH THE OTHER SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS OF THE GROUP. THESE INVESTIGATIONS INCLUDE: (1) ACQUISITION OF AMES AIRBORNE RADIOMETER MEASUREMENTS DURING THE UPCOMING SEAC4RS AND TCAP FIELD CAMPAIGNS AND OTHER FUTURE CAMPAIGNS, NOT YET DETERMINED; (2) ANALYSIS OF AMES AIRBORNE RADIOMETER MEASUREMENTS OBTAINED DURING UPCOMING AND PAST FIELD CAMPAIGNS IN RESEARCH STUDIES USING DATA FROM OTHER AIRBORNE, SATELLITE, AND/OR GROUND-BASED SENSORS; (3) ALGORITHM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND ANALYSIS SUPPORT FOR THE 4STAR; (5) MODELING AND DATA ANALYSIS TO DEVELOP TECHNIQUES FOR IDENTIFYING AEROSOL TYPE FROM MULTIDIMENSIONAL SATELLITE SENSOR MEASUREMENTS; (6) CHARACTERIZATION OF AEROSOL DIRECT RADIATIVE EFFECTS USING COMBINED AEROSOL OBSERVATIONS FROM CURRENT SATELLITE, AIRBORNE, AND SURFACE-BASED SENSORS; AND (7) PRESENTATIONS AND JOINT PUBLICATION OF RESULTS OF THESE STUDIES.

  RECOVERY - PLANNED ACTIVITY: AVSP26: VALIDATION&VERIFICATION OF FLIGHT CRITICAL SYSTEMS TITLE: AN EVIDENTIAL TOOL BUS FOR FLIGHT-CRITICAL SOFTWARE SYSTEMSNNA10DE73C THIS RESEARCH SUPPORTS NASA RECOVERY ACT WORK SPONSORED BY THE AERONAUTICS RESEARCH MISSION DIRECTORATE AND THE AVIATION SAFETY PROGRAM. RESEARCH FUNDED BY THE RECOVERY ACT WITHIN THE AVIATION SAFETY PROGRAM WILL FOCUS ON DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE TOOLS, CONCEPTS, METHODS, AND TECHNOLOGIES THAT WILL IMPROVE THE INTRINSIC SAFETY OF AIRCRAFT AND AVIATION OPERATIONS. THE GOAL OF THE VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION1 OF FLIGHT-CRITICAL SYSTEMS (VVFCS) PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR COMPLEX FLIGHT CRITICAL SYSTEMS. A FLIGHT CRITICAL SYSTEM (FCS) IS ONE THAT DIRECTLY CONTROLS THE SAFE CONDUCT OF AN AIRCRAFT`S FLIGHT. THIS INCLUDES AIR AND GROUND SYSTEMS, AND CONCEPTS OF OPERATION AS WELL AS TECHNOLOGY. FLIGHT CRITICAL SYSTEM RESEARCH INCLUDES HUMAN PERFORMANCE AS A KEY FACTOR. IN SUPPORT OF THESE EFFORTS, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL DEVELOP AN INTEGRATED TOOL SUITE OF INDIVIDUAL MODELING AND ANALYSIS COMPONENT TOOLS. THESE TOOLS AUTOMATE THE DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION, VALIDATION, VERIFICATION, AND CERTIFICATION OF SOFTWARE-INTENSIVE, FLIGHT-CRITICAL SYSTEMS. THIS TOOL SUITE SHALL BE VALIDATED USING REPRESENTATIVE CASE STUDIES DESIGNED IN A HIGH-LEVEL MODELING LANGUAGE. ADDITIONALLY, THE SUITE SHALL AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE HUMAN-READABLE ASSURANCE CASES2 THAT CAN BE USED TO CERTIFY THE SAFETY OF SOFTWARE. ONLY THE BASE YEAR OF THIS CONTRACT WILL BE FUNDED WITH RECOVERY ACT FUNDING. THE CONTRACTOR CAN PROPOSE OPTIONS FOR OUT-YEARS THAT THE GOVERNMENT MAY CHOOSE TO EXERCISE WITH NON-RECOVERY ACT FUNDS.
