Opportunity Information: Apply for NNH18ZEA001N TTT
The D.2 Transformational Tools and Technologies (TTT) opportunity is part of NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2018 solicitation (ROA-2018), issued as Amendment 2 and made available through the NSPIRES system. It invites research proposals across seven subtopic areas collected under Appendix D.2, all aimed at strengthening the toolsets and foundational technologies NASA and the broader aeronautics community rely on to design, analyze, and mature next-generation aviation concepts.
At its core, the TTT project is focused on pushing the state of the art in both computational and experimental capabilities that directly support aviation applications aligned with ARMD's six strategic thrusts. A major emphasis is on creating new computer-based tools and next-level computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models, along with the underlying scientific knowledge needed to make those models more accurate and more predictive. The intent is to deliver first-of-a-kind capabilities that can reliably analyze, explain, and predict how advanced aircraft concepts will perform, especially in regimes where existing methods are not adequate. By improving prediction and understanding earlier in the design cycle, these tools are meant to shorten development timelines and reduce risk, helping accelerate both NASA research and the community's ability to introduce advanced concepts into practice.
Beyond modeling and simulation, the opportunity also targets a broader set of enabling technologies that are considered critical to ARMD outcomes. This includes advancing knowledge and methods related to new strong and lightweight materials, exploring innovative control techniques, and developing improved experimental methods. In other words, the solicitation is not limited to software or CFD alone; it also values cross-cutting advances that improve how aeronautics research is conducted, how data is generated and validated, and how new technologies are characterized and integrated into aircraft systems.
A key theme running through the TTT scope is multidisciplinary integration. The project specifically calls out the development and improvement of Multi-Disciplinary Design, Analysis, and Optimization (MDAO) approaches and broader systems analysis tools. These are intended to help researchers connect disciplines that are often treated separately (for example, aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, controls, materials, acoustics, and mission-level performance) so that trade studies and optimization can reflect real-world interactions. Strengthening this integration supports concept development and benefits assessment across multiple NASA ARMD programs and technical areas, rather than producing narrowly focused results that are hard to transfer or scale.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity from NASA Headquarters with Funding Opportunity Number NNH18ZEA001N and CFDA number 43.002. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning proposals are open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility notes that may appear in the official solicitation text. NASA indicated an expectation of about seven awards. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that applicants should rely on the solicitation for guidance on appropriate budgets rather than interpreting the posting as setting a specific maximum amount.
Key dates included in the announcement are a Notice of Intent (NOI) deadline of April 16, 2018, followed by a full proposal deadline of May 14, 2018. Overall, the opportunity is designed for research teams proposing advances that materially improve the tools, techniques, and enabling technologies that make it possible to evaluate and mature transformative aeronautics concepts with greater speed, confidence, and multidisciplinary realism.Apply for NNH18ZEA001N TTT
