Combustion Stability Methodologies and Testing

The Space and Missile System Center (SMC), Advanced Systems and Development Directorate (AD), Los Angeles Air Force Base, CA, developed a justification and approval for the use of a sole source award to Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC), for the study of combustion stability methodologies, targeted laboratory experiments, modeling and design tool development associated with the Booster Propulsion Technology Maturation effort. The sole source contract will be a Cost-Plus-Fixed Fee contract for a 24 month period of performance. GTRI will develop a combustion stability software tool based on methodologies and targeted laboratory experiments to address booster propulsion injector physics knowledge gaps. This is not a request for proposal.
