RECOVERY - DEVELOP A PROOF OF CONCEPT SENSOR TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OFUSING OPEN CIRCUIT RESONANT SENSORS FOR COMPOSITE AIRCRAFT DAMAGE DETECTION AND DIAGNOSIS

Recovery - This notice is provided for information purposes only. NASA LaRCintends to issue a Task Order to ATK Space Systems, Inc. against the IDIQ contractentitled Technology, Engineering and Aerospace Mission Support (TEAMS), contract numberNNL07AA00B, for a task to develop a proof of concept sensor to determine the feasibilityof using open circuit resonant sensors for composite aircraft damage detection anddiagnosis. The contractor shall define, design, fabricate, characterize, and documentthe development of a open circuit resonate sensor to be used for impedance measurementson composite materials for damage diagnosis. This effort will be funded by ARRA fundingand is in support of the NASA Aeronautics Research Aviation Safety Program IntegratedVehicle Health Management (IVHM) Project.This announcement will not result in a Request for Proposal; this announcement is forinformational purposes only. An ombudsman has been appointed -- See NASA Specific Note "B".
