ARS to Attend the 2026 AIAA SciTech Forum in Orlando

Acoustic Research Systems (ARS) is pleased to announce our participation in the AIAA 2026 SciTech Forum, taking place 12–16 January 2026 at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida.

As the world’s largest event dedicated to aerospace research, development, and technology, the AIAA SciTech Forum brings together more than 6,100 attendees from 48 countries to explore breakthroughs shaping the future of flight. The 2026 theme, “Breaking Barriers Together: Boundless Discoveries,” reflects a shared ambition across the aerospace community to push beyond limitations through collaboration, technical excellence, and bold innovation. This focus aligns closely with the ARS mission and our commitment to advancing mission assurance.

As ARS continues to support programs across commercial space, defense, scientific research, and high-performance industrial applications, events like AIAA SciTech play an important role in advancing shared knowledge and driving the next generation of aerospace innovation.

In addition to attending the event our team will be presenting two technical presentations as part of the conference program.

Paper 1: New Methods for Efficient Mission Assurance Dynamics Testing

• Date: Monday, 12 January
• Time: 1:00 pm – 1:20 pm
• Authors: Ed Heyd and Dale Schick from ARS, Kevin Napolitano and Mike Yang from ATA Engineering

Paper 2: Examining a Multi-SISO Acoustic Control Method and Structural Response

• Date: Monday, 12 January
• Time: 2:00 pm – 2:20 pm
• Author: Dale Schick and Geoff Eckert from ARS, Ed Kinsella from EM Acoustics, Sebastian Schwarzendahl from m+p international and Christoph Eike.

We’re also proud to share that ARS is a co-author on a NASA-led technical paper presented as part of the SciTech technical program, in addition to the aforementioned papers.

Paper 3: Acoustic characterization of a direct field acoustic testing source

• Date: Monday, 12 January
• Time: 1:40 pm – 2:00pm
• Presenter: Albert R. Allen
• Co-Authors: Albert R. Allen and Matthew B. Galles from NASA Langley Research Center, Dale Schick and Daniel Hayes from ARS, Ed Kinsella from EM Acoustics.

This work reflects strong collaboration between NASA and industry partners, advancing research in Direct Field Acoustic Testing and acoustic source characterization.

We look forward to connecting with engineers, researchers, and program leaders throughout the week. If you are attending SciTech and would like to schedule a meeting with our team, please don’t hesitate to connect with us at the conference. We are ready to discuss how ARS can support your upcoming qualification or development campaign.
