COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) hereby awards Cooperative Agreement Number 97-G-007 to the: in the amount of $1,000,000 to pursue the research described in Proposal Number 96-P-0072 submitted by the Air Transport Association ("grantee" or "recipient") entitled: Aviation Local Area Augmentation System, under the direction of the Principal Investigator: Mr. Joseph Dorflez, telephone number: 202-626-4010. The period funded under this agreement is 12 months, beginning on the date of the final signature by the grantee (estimated to be on or about January 6, 1997), and ending 12 months later. This is a continuing grant and additional funding may be provided for 2 follow on years in the amount of $2,000,000, subject to the special conditions cited in paragraph f below. Exercising this additional funding option will result in a total estimated Cooperative Agreement amount of $3,000,000 for 36 months. The FAA technical monitor for this Cooperative Agreement is: Ray Swider, The FAA makes this Cooperative Agreement subject to the following terms and conditions, which are hereby incorporated into this agreement: a. the proposal submitted by the grantee; b. C. the budget for the research as proposed by the grantee; the FAA Research Grants Program Directive, FAA Order 9550.7A; d. all obligations and responsibilities imposed by statute or regulation, or both, on grant recipients, whether or not explicitly stated in FAA Order 9550.7A (i.e., the responsibility for compliance with all applicable statutes and regulations rests with the grantee); e. 1. the FAA Cooperative Agreement General Condition 1 (See Page 4); the following special conditions applicable to this Award: (1) This continuing grant is awarded with expectation of renewal as a noncompeting continuation award. It is the intent of the FAA to provide incremental support of the project for additional periods, as specified below, subject to satisfactory scientific progress, availability of funds, and continued relevance to FAA programs. (2) Changing FAA program constraints and developments within the project itself may dictate adjustments in the originally anticipated level of funding, this is not; however, a binding commitment and is not to be construed as assurance of a renewal of award. The FAA retains the right of "Refusal and Renewal,~ i... to discontinue funding after the period currently funded under this grant. (3) No Indirect Cost Agreement is included. The ATA is a not-for-profit organization and the Aviation Local Area Augmentation System work performed under this grant will be based on a Government-industry partnership. Therefore, there will be no indirect costs associated with this work activity. (4) The grantee has agreed to a COST SHARE of $3,000,000. This research activity is estimated to be 36 months in duration at a cost of $2 million per year. The FAA will fund $1 million per year for 3 years with the ATA and its industry partners contributing matching in-kind resources of $1 million per year. Please note: since this is a continuing cooperative agreement, subject funding addressed is dependent upon program funds being available and provided each year by the program office. (5) Under the partnership, the airlines will make resources available to support flight testing requirements for this project, along with possibly several ATA member airlines joining in after modification of their aircraft This will also constitute a form of COST SHARE since aircraft operating costs per hour of flight can range from approximately $2,000 per hour for a B737 to $7,500 per hour for a B747 aircraft (based on 1995 average operating costs per hour). After the project is completed, we will attempt to capture this cost share figure. g. This Cooperative Agreement may have substantial FAA involvement as defined in the following paragraphs: (1) It is understood by the grantee that by accepting this Cooperative Agreement that there could be substantial involvement and collaboration by the Government with the grantee in the performance of the research. (2) A formal Government-industry partnership will be formed in the execution of this project which will be led by the ATA. This open partnership will include participation from representatives from most key aviation interests, including the airlines, general aviation, the military, the FAA, the avionics and ground systems manufacturers, airframe manufacturers, etc. (3) All data results and information will be made available to the public. (4) The resources of the Government-industry partnership will be combined to conduct the necessary design, flight testing and analysis to address various questions and issues which will cover relevant and meaningful concerns of the operators, manufacturers, regulators, and users. Through this arrangement FAA managers, regulators and engineers will have direct access to managers, operators, and engineers in the airline/aviation industry and will be able to rely on the resources that the industry participants will be able to make available through this partnership. (5) Under this partnership, airline resources will be readily available to support flight testing requirements. Specifically, fully instrumented flight testing will be performed using modern transport type aircraft making 3 use of appropriate data recording equipment and current airline or other user air crews supported by aviation industry engineers. (6) Actual flight tests will be conducted at appropriate Government and industry facilities, such as the FAA Technical Center in Atlantic City, N.J., NASA flight test facilities at Crows Landing, California, and Boeing test facilities in Everett, Washington. (7) A copy of each semi-annual report and the final report will be submitted to both the technical monitor and the grants analyst.
