Opportunity Information: Apply for NNH18ZEA001N SWS
The B.5 System-Wide Safety (SWS) Project opportunity is part of Amendment 3 to NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2018 (ROA-2018), posted through NASA’s NSPIRES system under funding opportunity number NNH18ZEA001N. It invites research proposals across five subtopic areas contained in Appendix B.5, all aligned to NASA’s broader goal of keeping aviation extremely safe while the air transportation system rapidly evolves. The core idea behind SWS is that aviation is becoming more complex at the same time it is expanding: more flights, more users, more vehicle types (including uncrewed and increasingly autonomous aircraft), and more advanced air traffic management (ATM) and avionics capabilities intended to make flying more efficient and accessible. NASA is seeking research that helps the safety framework keep pace with that transformation rather than reacting after problems emerge.
The project’s central technical focus is “in-time, system-wide safety,” meaning safety capabilities that can detect emerging hazards early enough to support timely decisions and mitigations, not just after-the-fact analysis. SWS emphasizes expanded safety awareness through better access to relevant operational data, integrated analysis tools that can combine multiple data sources, improved real-time (or near-real-time) hazard detection and alerting, and decision support that can recommend or automatically implement mitigation strategies. In practical terms, NASA is interested in a safety ecosystem that is more predictive and proactive, with the ability to see risk trends forming across the broader aviation system and respond before those risks turn into incidents.
A major thrust of this particular call is verification and validation (V and V) for next-generation aviation systems. NASA is specifically looking for cost-efficient methods that can provide defensible, “justifiable confidence” in safety claims for complex ATM and avionics designs, including systems that are increasingly autonomous and may behave in non-deterministic ways. That emphasis reflects a well-known challenge: traditional certification and assurance approaches can become too slow, too expensive, or not well-matched when systems incorporate adaptive algorithms, autonomy, distributed decision-making, or complex interactions among multiple aircraft and infrastructure components. Proposed work is expected to advance tools and methods that can credibly demonstrate safety even when the system is too complex to test exhaustively using conventional approaches.
The opportunity is offered by NASA Headquarters as a discretionary science and technology research and development program, with awards anticipated in the form of cooperative agreements. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant types may apply, consistent with NASA’s standard research solicitation practices. The CFDA (assistance listing) number associated with this opportunity is 43.002. While the notice does not state an award ceiling or the expected number of awards in the provided text, it does provide clear timing: notices of intent (NOIs) were due June 3, 2019, and full proposals were due July 16, 2019, with the opportunity created on May 1, 2019. Overall, the solicitation is aimed at research that strengthens the evidence, methods, and tooling needed to assure safety for advanced and autonomous aviation concepts at system scale, helping the industry preserve its safety record even as operations become more diverse and demanding.Apply for NNH18ZEA001N SWS
