E-MAIL: Robert Medina, robert.medina@mail.dfrc.nasa.gov. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Office of Aero-Space Technology Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization Quarterly Small Disadvantaged Business Forum October 29, 1998 On Thursday October 29th, NASA Headquarters Office of Aero-Space Technology and Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization are sponsoring a Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Forum at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, Integrated Support Facility, Building 4825 from 8:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. The purpose of the forum is to allow highly qualified, high tech SDBs, small women-owned businesses (SWOB), historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and other minority institutions (OMIs) to present their capabilities and field technical questions from NASA and contractor engineers, scientists, researchers, and contracts personnel. Additionally, through these forums NASA hopes to develop an increased awareness among senior technical officials within NASA and the contractor community of the presence of this critical High Tech SDB capability. These forums are also a good vehicle for prime contractors to find highly qualified SDBs, SWOBs, HBCUs, and OMIs with which to fulfill their subcontracting plan requirements. The five firms who will be making presentations at this year s forum are: AdvanChip Corporation, La Canada, California, CAPABILITY: AdvanChip specializing in electronic engineering research and development, computer microchips, microelectronic systems and real-time embedded systems. They have capabilities in: (a) advanced displays; (b) massive parallel processing architectures; (c) real-time software simulation; (d) advanced, open systems, and computer architecture development; (e) data acquisition system design; (f) microelectronic system or interface module design; and (g) miniaturization of electronic systems to microchips. Cimarron, Houston, Texas, CAPABILITY: Cimarron has expertise in the areas of: (a) real-time command and control systems (infrastructure and software engineering, design and implementation); (b) computer facility management; (c) configuration management; (d) engineering services (design and development, stress analysis, human factors analysis, thermal analysis and maintainability analysis); (e) data center management; and (f) environment and support systems, command and control systems, and communication systems. They can provide support in Information Technology (including program management, computer operations, systems engineering, networking, verification testing, systems analysis and software engineering); integrated systems solutions with commercial-off-the-shelf software and hardware; and engineering design and manufacturing of test hardware structures for aerospace applications. Command and Control Technologies (CCT) Corporation, Titusville, Florida, CAPABILITY: CTT has capabilities and experience in integrated flight and propulsion controls, remotely piloted vehicle technology, and advanced optical sensors and controls. Their core skills are: (a) launch processing systems; (b) payload processing systems; (c) range control systems; (d) telemetry processing software; (e) artificial intelligence and vehicle diagnostic systems; (f) real-time software architectures; (g) software tools and analysis and selection; (h) data visualization and analysis; (i) object oriented analysis, design and implementation; (j) automated vehicle health management; (k) computer aided software engineering; and high speed network design and implementation. Eagle Aeronautics, Inc., Newport News, Virginia, CAPABILITY: Eagle Aeronautics has technical expertise in the following areas: (a) experimental flight research for integrated flight propulsion controls; (b) viscous drag reduction; (c) advanced configurations; (d) advanced propellers for high-altitude, long-endurance aircraft; (e) hypersonic vehicle experiments; (f) high-speed research for civil transportation; (g) atmospheric tests of advanced rocket and air breathing propulsion concepts; (h) instrumentation systems; and (i) flight loads predictions. They are currently assisting in the design analyses for the new High Speed Civil Transport. Eidetics Corporation, Torrance, California, CAPABILITY: Eidetics specializes in aerodynamic research and technology, water tunnel products and testing services, and the design and production of high fidelity aircraft simulators. This expertise has led to the development of many new and exciting technologies such as: (a) forebody vortex control; (b) active and passive drag reduction techniques; (c) dynamic lift enhancements; (d) non-linear aerodynamics modeling; (e) unsteady and high angle of attack aerodynamics; (f) departure criteria; (g) experimental measurements and modeling; and (h) advanced flight controls. Government and contractor (large, small, and small disadvantaged) personnel are welcome to attend this forum.
