This paper provides a description of a recent comprehensive Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) for icing research. A team of NASA icing subject matter experts (SMEs) was assembled from NASA’s Glenn and Langley Research Centers, which began by gathering inputs from icing stakeholders in industry, Government, and academia. Those inputs, which were grouped into a number of themes, were used by the SMEs to identify needed icing technical elements. Each of these high-level technical elements included the icing physics, modeling capabilities, and experimental capabilities needed to address a particular element. A multivariable analysis technique called TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solutions) was then applied to prioritize the technical elements for several potential future realities. A large number of icing research needs were identified and analyzed to determine the highest priorities for NASA key focus areas and those that will endure into the future. The primary outcome of the AoA is the identification of legacy and newly identified capability areas in priority order to guide future investment.
