- Description
- Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Vehicles Directorate, Control Sciences Division (AFRL/VACC) solicits research proposals for Distributed Infocentric Reliable Control Technology (DIReCT). This effort will investigate and document infocentric requirements and develop methods for reliable control of UAVs. Current technology does not provide a clear understanding of the information quality requirements for these autonomous control systems and thus they are not robust to degraded information and are not as reliable as desired. Current technology has yet to extend existing redundancy management algorithms to the management of distributed redundancy in a package of UAVs to ensure quality information and quality decisions. This work will provide key design criteria to enable the reduction of mishaps of UAVs through reliability approaching that of manned systems. Interested offerors may view and/or download the full PRDA/BAA solicitation by accessing the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOps) homepage at http://www.eps.gov/. Direct questions to the Contracting point of contact identified in the announcement.
