SONALYSTS INC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: A3
SONALYSTS INC — SBIR Phase I award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from National Aeronautics and Space Administration in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $124,978. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code A3 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
Sonalysts will apply user-centered design principles to develop an Air Traffic Management (ATM) decision support tool, called Aircraft Trajectory Optimization Resolver (AcTOR).nbsp; AcTOR will demonstrate the feasibility of incorporating varied performance characteristics of near-future vehicles into an optimization system for trajectory conflict resolution. nbsp;AcTOR will enable future integration of unconventional operations (unmanned vehicles, space vehicles, supersonic vehicles) into the National Airspace System.nbsp; Sonalysts will conduct a Targeted Ideation Development Event (TIDE) with Air Traffic Control (ATC) operators as participants to brainstorm and refine novel design ideas for a User Interface (UI) to control the near future airspace environment.nbsp; Sonalysts will rapidly prototype a UI based on these design guidelines to deliver a proof-of-concept for the overall system.
