NASA has awarded a contract to MacLean Engineering & Applied Technologies of Houston to provide simulation model development, integration, verification, validation, analysis, documentation, maintenance, and troubleshooting support of Trick-based non-real-time and real-time human-in-the-loop simulations, and other support for the Engineering Directorate at the agencys Johnson Space Center in Houston. The Trick Simulation environment is a generic simulation toolkit used for constructing and running simulations.
The Simulation and Advanced Software Services (SASS) contract has a maximum potential value of approximately $100 million over a five-year period of performance.
Under SASS, MacLean Engineering & Applied Technologies will provide support that addresses engineering analysis, operations, and training requirements, as well as provides advanced software services for research, development, and deployment.
