Autocode from Simulink to Real Time Embedded LINUx on ARM

Armstrong has a heritage of autocoding algorithms developed in Matlab Simulink for use in flight applications. It has become increasingly apparent these efforts are limited by (1) the performance of the hardware targets, (2) cost of proprietary tool chains and real time operating systems, and (3) inability to support Processor-in-the-Loop (PIL) simulation. Targeting Embedded Linux with an ARM processor can address these issues.

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 5) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
