Initial Fall 2015 planning

Meeting focus:  Overview of the FY15 RE&D aviation safety portfolio.

What are the research findings?

How are we progressing?

What is next (strategy)? 

Approach:	2 days (Sept 9/10)

1 hour max per briefing/topic area

Show long-term plans (to address roadmap concerns)

Have CSTA involvement

Provide some hands on tours – limit time in a windowless room	

Be selective in the topics discussed

Provide charts in advance on all projects (homework assignment)

Leave time for discussion of additional items of interest.

Key Themes:

Software

System Safety

Composites / Additive Manufacturing

 Topic Areas:

Additive manufacturing (with presentation by AFRL) [Michael Gorelik – CSTA]

UAS – not a deep dive or road map discussion:  (UAS COE, NASA UTM initiative, What it the research and what is it finding?)

Software Digital Systems (ASIAS Lab Demo)

Cyber issues [Peter Skaves – CSTA]

Portfolio Overview (Mark Orr)

International research collaboration (Michael Pierce):  (Dutch NLR/EASA, Research in Europe on GA safety)

Budget update (Mike Gallivan)

Alternative GA Fuels (Lab Tour) - PAFI Plan Update

Ice Crystal Research [Tom Bond – CSTA] - High Ice Water Content Campaign

Composites Plan [Larry Ilcewicz – CSTA]

NASA/FAA Research Transition Teams (Akbar Sultan)

Cavolowsky briefing on Ames capability

Actions:		

Update the format of the quad charts.

Plan to send out pre-meeting materials by August 21.
