The Agilis NSMS is capable of real-time measurements and will allow testing to continue without straining gage instrumentation. The NSMS is required to measure airfoil stresses during high cycle fatigue testing to support Joint Strike Fighter risk reduction efforts scheduled in January 2004 and Agilis is the only known source that can meet this schedule. Award is anticipated on or before 8 December 2003. The appropriate NAICS Code is 334519, size standard 500 employees.
