NASA SBIR Phase I Contract Awarded- “Runtime Assurance for Flight Test Research Aircraft”

In June, Barron Associates was awarded an SBIR Phase I contract entitled “Runtime Assurance for Flight Test Research Aircraft” from NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center.  This will be a follow-on targeted study related to BAI’s recently completed 3-year Air Force contract on runtime assurance framework development.  The effort will develop more formal approaches to constructing control mode switching conditions within the runtime monitoring function.  The main objective is to expand flight test envelopes that are currently considered too restrictive for testing out advanced control methodologies.
