Description of requirement

RELIANCE CONSOLIDATED MODELS DESIGN AND/OR FABRICATION OF AEROSPACE MODEL SYSTEMS AND DEVELOPMENTAL TEST HARDWARE USED FOR SPACEFLIGHT, SPACE FLIGHT DEVELOPMENT HARDWARE,&FLIGHT AND GROUND-BASED TESTS THE RELIANCE CONSOLIDATED MODELS (RECOM) EFFORT IS A CONSOLIDATION OF DESIGN AND/OR FABRICATION OF AEROSPACE MODEL SYSTEMS AND DEVELOPMENTAL TEST HARDWARE USED FOR SPACEFLIGHT, FLIGHT, SPACEFLIGHT DEVELOPMENT, AND GROUND-BASED TESTS SUPPORTING NASA AMES RESEARCH CENTER (ARC), GLENN RESEARCH CENTER (GRC), LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER (LARC), AND MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER (MSFC). THESE PRECISION EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH MODELS AND HARDWARE MAY CONSIST OF BOTH MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC HARDWARE ELEMENTS. THESE MODELS MAY INCORPORATE THE USE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS SMART MATERIALS, OR NEW PROCESSES SUCH AS STEREOLITHOGRAPHY AND RAPID PROTO-TYPING USING POLYCARBONATE. THE MECHANICAL HARDWARE ELEMENTS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, WIND TUNNEL MODELS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FORCE/PRESSURE, PROPULSION SIMULATION, DYNAMICALLY SCALED, AND FREE FLIGHT), ROTORCRAFT MODELS, DROP MODELS, MODEL COMPONENTS, MODEL SUPPORT SYSTEMS, TEST EQUIPMENT, TURBOMACHINERY MODELS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, AIR TURBINE MODELS, WATER FLOW PUMP MODELS) AIRCRAFT FLIGHT TEST HARDWARE, SPACE FLIGHT HARDWARE, LARGE WELDED/FORMED STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS USED IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF SPACE FLIGHT SYSTEMS, FORCE MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT (INCLUDING MULTI-COMPONENT WIND TUNNEL BALANCES), AND STRUCTURAL TEST ARTICLES AND INSTRUMENTATION/DEVICES TO MEASURE FORCE, MOMENT, ACCELERATION, ATTITUDE, PRESSURE STRAIN AND TEMPERATURE. THE ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC HARDWARE ELEMENTS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO MOTORS, ACTUATORS, SENSORS, CONTROL PANELS, PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS, DATA ACQUISITION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS, CIRCUIT PROTECTION, CONNECTORS, FIBER-OPTIC CABLES AND WIRING, AS REQUIRED, TO SUPPORT THE TEST HARDWARE. THESE RESEARCH MODELS AND HARDWARE MAY BE UTILIZED FOR VARIOUS FACILITIES SUCH AS NASA WIND TUNNELS, AIR/WATER FLOW TURBINE/PUMP FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT, SPACECRAFT, AND OTHER EXISTING AND FUTURE LABORATORY ENVIRONMENTS.
