\"air-force\"Advanced Liquid Rocket Engine Stability Technology \u2013 High Fidelity Modeling (ALREST-HFM) \u2013<\/strong> The Aerophysics Branch of the Space and Missiles Propulsion Division of the Air Force Research Laboratory is interested in the general area of advanced liquid rocket engine combustion stability technology. The interest is both in relevant technology as it impacts current programs as well as future technology as it will impact future programs. Particular interest is in projecting future technology as it will exist approximately six years from the date of this BAA, and to perform work preparatory to making use of this future technology.\u00a0 Experiments for the production of validation data or the development of sub-models which will be needed by then are also of interest. <\/span>Preparing for longer term technology in such a way that technology of nearer term value is also produced is considered to be of great value.\u00a0 Finally, there is also considered to be a need for creative innovations in the combustion instability area, including but not limited to innovative approaches for suppressing combustion instabilities, and approaches for facilitating advanced designs.\u00a0 Total Funding: $1.35M.\u00a0 Eligibility: All.\u00a0 Proposal Due Date: June 1, 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reusable Booster System (RBS) Pathfinder \u2013<\/strong> The Air Force has identified the RBS concept as a promising approach to meet its future space-lift needs.\u00a0 The RBS consists of an autonomous, reusable, rocket-powered first stage with an expendable upper stage stack.\u00a0 The reusable first stage launches vertically and carries the expendable stack to the staging point.\u00a0 From the staging point, the reusable first stage returns directly to the launch base, landing aircraft-style on a runway.\u00a0 To return the booster to the launch base, the Government is considering a rocket-back maneuver.\u00a0 An important goal of the RBS Pathfinder program is to explore the feasibility and design space for the autonomous rocket-back maneuver.\u00a0 To the extent practical, the RBS Pathfinder program should also demonstrate other important technologies, processes and system attributes (TPSAs) that are expected to be included on the operational RBS. An Industry Day for RBS Pathfinder will be held 11-13 May 2010.\u00a0 An overview briefing will be held 11 May 2010 in the Gordon Conference Center (GCC), Los Angeles AFB, CA.\u00a0 Small individual sessions in Aerospace A-9 Bldg, Los Angeles AFB, CA, will be available with the RBS Pathfinder Program team on 12-13 May 2010.\u00a0 Pre-registration is required by May 2, 2010 to attend the industry day events.\u00a0 RBS Total Funding Phase I: $4.5M; Award Ceiling: $1.5M.\u00a0 Total Funding Phase II-IV: $28.5M.\u00a0 They are requesting comments on this draft BAA.\u00a0 Comment are due May 3, 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n
