1. TASK ORDER TITLE: ADVANCED SECURITY RESEARCH ASSESSMENT AND DECISION SUPPORT CAPABILITY 2. BACKGROUND: NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER (LARC) IS INTERESTED IN EXPLORING HOW TO FOCUS ITS AERONAUTICS EXPERTISE AND WORLD CLASS FACILITIES TOWARDS NATIONAL NEEDS IN AVIATION SECURITY. DEVELOPMENT OF A SUCCESSFUL RESEARCH APPROACH REQUIRES UNDERSTANDING OF STAKEHOLDER NEEDS, AND MAPPING OF LARC CAPABILITIES TO THOSE NEEDS. THIS STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) WILL PRODUCE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AVIATION SECURITY NEEDS AND NASA LARC CAPABILITES IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: 1.) UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV) INTEGRATION INTO CONTROLLED AIRSPACE; 2.) TRANSFER AND EXPANSION OF NASA LARC AVIATION SECURITY-RELATED ATTACK SCENARIO/RISK-BASED LOGIC EVOLVED DECISION (LED) ANALYSIS CAPABILITY; 3.) DAMAGE ADAPTIVE AIRCRAFT CONCEPTS AND TECHNOLOGIES; 4.) ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS (EME) CONCEPTS AND TECHNOLOGIES; AND 5.) ADVANCED MEASUREMENT (SENSOR) DESIGN, INCLUDING STAND OFF DETECTION USING LARC LIDAR TECHNOLOGY, EMPHASIZING DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION OF VARIOUS SENSOR CAPABILITIES. 3. OBJECTIVE: THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY IS TO DOCUMENT INFORMATION THAT WILL GUIDE NASAS PLANNING FOR FUTURE PROJECTS IN AVIATION SECURITY BY DESCRIBING THE RESEARCH NEEDS OF THE AVIATION SECURITY COMMUNITY AND MAPPING LARC CAPABILITIES TO THOSE NEEDS
