  THE PROPOSED COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT SHALL BE FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAINTAINING THE EXISTING RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE NASA AMES RESEARCH CENTER (NASA/ARC) AND THE UAV COLLABORATIVE THAT WAS ESTABLISHED AS PER NASA COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT #NNX08AR57A EXECUTED ON 6/15/08 FOR A 4-YEAR PERIOD. THIS PROPOSED COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT SHALL REPRESENT A CONTINUATION OF RESEARCH ON UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM (UAS) APPLICATIONS, DEMONSTRATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT FOR AN ADDITIONAL 4-YEAR PERIOD FROM 5/15/2011 TO 5/14/2015. MEMBERS OF THE UAV COLLABORATIVE SHALL CONDUCT JOINT COOPERATIVE ACTIVITIES WITH NASA/ARC-AFFILIATED RESEARCH AND TECHNICAL STAFF. THESE ACTIVITIES SHALL RELATE TO THE LONG-TERM VISION OF NASA/ARC IN EXPERIMENTING WITH AND UPGRADING UAV-RELATED TECHNOLOGY FOR SCIENTIFIC, CIVILIAN AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS. THE EMPHASIS SHALL BE ON MEDIUM TO SMALL UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES (UAVS) CONSIDERED IN THE FRAMEWORK OF OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE WITH MINIMAL RISK AT LOWER FLIGHT ELEVATIONS (<20K FT AGL). RISK ASSESSMENTS SHALL BE CONDUCTED FOR ALL EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH WORK. THE RESEARCH SHALL INCLUDE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE TESTING INVOLVING MANNED AIRCRAFT AS PROOF-OF-CONCEPT UAV PLATFORMS. THE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT SHALL INVOLVE COLLABORATION WITH NASA/ARC, WHICH HAS CONDUCTED LEADING EDGE RESEARCH IN THE FIELDS OF UAV APPLICATIONS, AIRBORNE PLATFORM AND SENSOR DEVELOPMENT, PILOT PROFICIENCY, FLIGHT SAFETY, AND AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT SHALL BE TO PURSUE TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH CONSISTENT WITH NASA S ACTIVITIES IN EARTH SCIENCE, THE PROTECTION OF LIFE ON EARTH, PLANETARY EXPLORATION, FLIGHT SAFETY, AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT, AND APPLICATIONS THAT BENEFIT THE GENERAL PUBLIC. PARTICULAR EMPHASIS SHALL BE ON: (1) ANALYZING AND EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE OF UAV PLATFORMS AND PAYLOADS; (2) IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF UAV PLATFORMS FOR DATA ACQUISITION AND DOWNLINKING IN NEAR-REAL-TIME; (3) CONDUCTING UAV DEMONSTRATIONS WHILE ADDRESSING THE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT CHALLENGES OF FLIGHT SAFETY AND AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN THE NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM; AND (4) DISSEMINATING THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSES AND DEMONSTRATIONS AS PART OF AN EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH EFFORT. THE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT SHALL BRING TOGETHER PRIVATE INDUSTRY, ACADEMIA, AND GOVERNMENT RESOURCES NECESSARY TO CONDUCT RESEARCH AND TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENTISTS. THE EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH EFFORT SHALL FEATURE UNIVERSITY STUDENT RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES THAT INCREASE PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE AND THE SKILL SETS NEEDED TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN THE RAPIDLY EMERGING FIELD OF UAV TECHNOLOGY.
