Research Test and Integration

Under files is the link to the RTI wiki.

Research Test and Integration (RTI) focuses on the development of long term plans for test and integration opportunities for research products from the SSAT, VSST, and AEST projects. RTI planning is primarily focused on AvSafe projects, however collaboration also includes other NASA programs, other government agencies, as well as industry and academic partners. This Wiki is intended to document the Research Test and Integration Plan (RTIP). The purpose of RTIP is to keep track of significant AvSafe research activities and maintain a database of testing facilities and assets available to enable and enhance the AvSafe research milestones. In addition RTIP will facilitate the development of collaborative research testing plans. This research collaboration will enable pooling research and test activities where possible. This pooling of research and test activities has the possibility of creating benefits that include:

1. increasing the Technology Readiness Level for test activities with little or no additional cost to perform the tests,
2. improving the quality of research activities by increasing the quantity of data sets available to researchers through the acquisition of test data via ride-along test activities which add little or no additional cost, and
3. increasing the overall knowledge base by improving communication among principal investigators and research partners while reducing the duplication of work.
