  1. North American SIMMOD User’s Group (NASUG) Meeting Shahab Hasan Advanced Air Transportation Technologies (AATT) Project Office Manager, Benefits & Safety Assessments NASA Ames Research Center shasan@mail.arc.nasa.gov 650-604-1014 September 8, 2000

  2. Summary of Events • For FY00, NASA has provided funding for maintenance and distribution ($125K). • NASA has also funded enhancements ($210K). (note: above figures do not account for overhead/pass-through charges incurred by the contracting process) • Current tasking will take us through October 2000.

  3. What’s Next? • NASA intends would like to continue supporting SIMMOD, but... • My budget has stayed approximately the same in an absolute sense. The problem is that there is much more that I am being asked to deliver. • Because NASA is not actively using SIMMOD, its funding is first on the chopping block. • I will find money for very basic maintenance and distribution (~ $50K - $100K) for FY01. • Additional funds (i.e., for enhancements) and for future years are unlikely and should not be counted upon

  4. What’s Next? (cont’d.) • Of course this is not what you wanted to hear… • But it’s not totally unexpected, is it? • What are the user community’s options? • Stick with latest version, rely on vendors such as ATAC • See if the FAA can come up with funding (very unlikely) • Hope NASA finds more funding (possible but uncertain) • Try again to form SIMMOD Club or some other sort of user-supported maintenance (difficult but possibly the best option)
