Opportunity Summary:
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), through its AFRL/RB Computational Sciences Center, offered a discretionary research opportunity titled "Cooperative Research on Computational Aeronautical Sciences" under Funding Opportunity Number BAA 10 07 PKV. The intent of the announcement was to establish a close working partnership with a selected performer using a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the government expected to be substantially involved during the research rather than simply providing a grant with minimal interaction. Only one award was anticipated, with an estimated total funding level of about $9.3 million, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated.
The technical focus centered on basic and applied research in high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and related computational aeronautical sciences across all speed regimes. In practical terms, this points to advanced modeling and simulation of airflow and related physical phenomena ranging from low-speed aerodynamic flows to high-speed and hypersonic regimes, where complex effects such as shock waves, turbulence, boundary-layer behavior, aero-thermal coupling, and compressibility can dominate. The announcement emphasized that improvements in these computational technologies were viewed as enabling capabilities for developing future Air Force systems, including air-breathing hypersonic vehicles, space access concepts, and agile micro air vehicles. The overall theme is building or advancing computational tools, methods, and validated modeling approaches that can better predict real-world performance and support design, analysis, and risk reduction for next-generation aerospace platforms.
Administratively, this opportunity fell under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) within the broader category of science, technology, and other research and development. Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity) with an important limitation: foreign participation was excluded at the prime recipient level, indicating the lead awardee needed to be a qualifying domestic organization even if some forms of collaboration might be addressed elsewhere in the full text. The opportunity was posted on July 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2010, and an archive date of September 29, 2010, reflecting that it was a time-limited competitive announcement.
