These areas are described below. Note that an offeror may bid on all three areas. However, offerors must submit separate technical/cost proposals and should clearly delineate each specific area. 1. Adaptive Control Techniques for Responsive Launch Vehicle Ascent Guidance and Control. The Air Force’s needs for achieving operationally responsive access to space will require a responsive launch capability. Executing time-critical missions will require far greater capability of the guidance systems than currently exist for launch vehicles. The driving motivation for this research is that the challenges for realizing a responsive launch capability lie not only in hardware and operations, but also equally in software and algorithms. Traditionally, launch guidance and control (G&C) software and related parameters are designed for a specified launch mission (launch site, range constraints, etc.), payload, and targeting, or insertion, condition. This is a time-consuming process, done well in advance of the launch mission. Until the technical challenges associated with update and design of G&C algorithms and software on a short notice are satisfactorily addressed, on-demand responsive launch will not be possible even for a vehicle already on the launch pad. Application of both optimal control theories and adaptive control theories, combined with innovative numerical methods, will play a central role in advancing launch vehicle G&C technology necessary to meet the goals of responsive launch.The objectives of this effort are to:• Establish the degree of pre-mission planning and lead time required with the current launch vehicle ascent technology, and identify the portion attributable to G&C.• Identify candidate adaptive/optimal launch vehicle guidance and control algorithms and develop algorithm enhancements where appropriate.• Establish well defined evaluation criteria to assess candidate algorithms.• Develop testing scenarios and conduct simulations to demonstrate the benefits of adaptive/optimal closed-loop launch vehicle guidance and control technology.2. Responsive Space Attitude Determination and Control – Reducing Guidance, Navigation and Control System DesignThe Department of Defense is currently interested in reducing Guidance, Navigation and Control System Design and Integration Time for responsive space missions. The reduction of satellite design and integration time will allow for quicker replacement of failed satellites, improving communication and imaging capabilities. One of the primary concepts for achieving this is to reduce the amount of time available for ground-based calibration of satellite hardware and software.
