TiER1 Performance Solutions Awarded Phase II Research Grant with NASA
Covington, Ky. – TiER1 Performance Solutions announced today that they received a Phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) award from NASA. The Phase II contract will continue development on the Phase I project under the name Human Factors Analysis Support Tool (H-FAST). H-FAST provides human factors guidance and support to NASA engineering design teams performing evaluations of systems. According to Dr. Terence Andre, Principal Consultant for TiER1, this is the first Phase II SBIR with NASA, bringing together an innovative solution for knowledge management and human factors evaluation support. ”This new tool will empower engineers to create more usable systems, thus reducing the number of design iterations and resulting in higher-quality products. We will develop H-FAST to support a variety of NASA design projects such as space vehicles, mission control centers, and flight deck systems.”
This grant is TiER1’s sixth SBIR win for their research and ground-breaking technology, which is a true testament to the company’s innovation and credibility as leaders in the industry. “NASA was really impressed by our innovative technical approach and the talented individuals we put on this project,” said Dr. Kevin Moore, TiER1 Co-Founder and Chief Learning Officer. “Working with NASA will be a rewarding experience for our team.”
