Abstract

To learn how we might solve some important and challenging problems that require us to step into extreme or “wicked problem” domains. Where systems-level engineering and design are required to integrate with other domains. Connect with the external community to cross-pollinate on best methods, processes, and tools.

NIAC: The NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts Program

The NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program nurtures visionary ideas that could transform future NASA missions with the creation of breakthroughs - radically better or entirely new aerospace concepts - while engaging America's innovators and entrepreneurs as partners in the journey. NIAC projects study innovative, technically credible, advanced concepts that could one day “Change the Possible” in aerospace. NIAC supports innovative research through three phases of study, each competitively awarded. Phase I studies are for nine-month efforts to explore the overall viability of visionary concepts. Phase II studies further develop the most promising Phase I concepts for up to two years, prepare a roadmap for further development, and explore potential transition options within NASA and beyond. Phase III studies are designed to strategically transition the most promising NIAC concepts to other NASA programs, other government agencies, or commercial partners. Since 2011, NIAC has funded 128 Phase I, 51 Phase II, and 2 Phase III studies. This paper provides an update on NIAC’s history and current role in supporting NASA’s sustained investments in advanced aerospace technology development.

Embracing Innovation in Aviation While Respecting Its Safety Tradition

Need for change is real, current systems are not sustainable. Sense of urgency is due to emerging markets and diversity of operations. Build-a-little-test-a-little and deploy. Research issues remain - however goal should be "cross the finish line" to improve operations. Research is means to an end and not an end in itself. Goal is highly scaled operations that are affordable and safe.

Unlocking the Commercial Value of NASA Technology Investments

Success in executing NASA's ambitious aerospace missions requires solutions to difficult technical challenges that build on proven capabilities, as well as development of new capabilities. Early and continuous investments in aeronautics over 76 years in Cleveland at NASA Glenn have led to Ohio being the number one supplier to both Boeing and Airbus. New technologies that NASA Glenn is working on, the Center's efforts to engage US industry in the global space exploration efforts, and ways GRC is leading spin-offs of NASA IP are enabling new industries from clean water technologies to biomedical applications.
