NASA Announces Georgia Aeronautics Research Awards

Posted on: Friday, 18 January 2008, 18:00 CST

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, Aviation Safety Program, has awarded approximately $229,000 to the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, for its proposal, "Advanced Methods for Intelligent Flight Guidance and Planning in Support of Pilot Decision Making." The institute also will receive approximately $275,000 for its proposal, "Flight Validation of Metrics-based Adaptive Control Methods" and approximately $288,000 for its proposal, "Development of Linear Matrix Inequality Analysis Tools for Learning Algorithms."

These awards will foster close collaboration with and facilitate the exchange of ideas and information among researchers within NASA, industry, academia and other government agencies to benefit the nation's aeronautics community.

NASA conducts cutting-edge research to improve the safety of current and future aircraft operating in the National Airspace System. The research will focus on the way vehicles are designed, built, operated and maintained. Scientists and engineers in this program develop principles, concepts, tools, methods and technologies to address four areas: aircraft aging and durability, integrated intelligent flight deck technologies, integrated vehicle health management and integrated resilient aircraft control.
