NASA ROSES-16 Amendment 42: A.41 AIST Final text

ROSES-16 Amendment 42: Release of final text for A.41 Advanced Information Systems Technology.

The goals of the Advanced Information Systems Technology (AIST) program are to identify, develop, and demonstrate advanced information system technologies that:

·         Reduce the risk, cost, size, and development time for Earth science space-based, airborne, and ground-based information systems,

·         Increase the accessibility and utility of science data, and

·         Enable new observations and information products.

The focus of AIST is on maturing technology projects starting at a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 2 to 4 levels and advancing them at a point where they can be demonstrated for potential infusion into the appropriate science, applications, and mission communities, typically at TRL 6. 

Notices of Intent are requested by December 21, 2016, proposals are due February 16, 2017.
