Selection criteria and funding vary based on the focus of the solicitation but of primary interest are:Human Space Flight Architecture Team (HAT) prioritized technology needsPriority JSC technology core competenciesHigh potential areas for technology commercializationHigh potential areas for technology partnershipsProject AccomplishmentsThrough the result of research and development, JSC’s IR&D project PIs are making essential progress in the advancement of technology needed to enable NASA’s mission of space exploration. This allows the members to have multiple sets of data to select the most innovative finalists to support for the year. The Principal Investigators (PIs) make presentations to the JTWG to provide more in-depth project details. The JTWG members review project proposals and work together to down-select to the finalists. Competitive calls are coordinated with JSC Senior Staff and communicated to the JSC workforce via internal email distribution to an R&D community list and through postings on the internal center website and through JSC Today notices.The JTWG solicits, evaluates and prioritizes all JSC solicitation responses in a two-stage process. Selection ProcessTypically, JSC solicitations are developed by the JSC CTO and the JSC Technology Working Group (JTWG). As such, external partnerships are highly encouraged not only as a funding leverage but to bring innovative ideas and approaches into human exploration programs. These solicitations encourage use of collaborations to ensure maximum benefit to both the space program and the nation. The program also provides a platform to continue to grow and maintain critical skills and innovations needed to ensure future mission success. It offers the center the ability to address technology gaps that are beyond the requirements of near-term programs to fund. The JSC-directed solicitations program enables the center to invest strategically in high priority areas needed to accomplish future missions, as articulated in the NASA Technology Roadmaps and the Space Technology Investment Plan (STIP). An active and sustainable science and technology development program is key to ensuring the challenges of human exploration are successfully overcome. The center encourages collaboration with aerospace and non-aerospace industries, government agencies, and academia to solve science and technology challenges, while actively striving to maximize technology transfer into the commercial sector. We continue to lead the development of these emerging technologies in support of our customer's missions as new threats emerge.JSC provides and applies its preeminent capabilities in science and technology to develop, operate, and integrate human exploration missions. Lockheed Martin is uniquely situated to be able to deliver hypersonic strike systems as well as the ability to detect, track and defeat hypersonic threats. We are combining our leadership in missile defense, space and advanced materials, which is a combination no other company possesses. As a result of this investment, we are at the forefront of operationalizing hypersonic capabilities, systems and engineering. Lockheed Martin has invested in developing and demonstrating hypersonic technology for over 60 years.
Hypersonic weapons and air and missile defense are key priorities of the United States Department of Defense's National Defense Strategy and Missile Defense Review. As one of the Department of Defense’s highest technical priorities, our scientists and engineers are developing game-changing hypersonic solutions. Going Mach 5, or over 60 miles per minute, creates a number of complex engineering and physics challenges which is why Lockheed Martin leverages expertise and technology from across the corporation to tackle these challenges with speed, agility and ingenuity.
