Description
NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits interest from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use.
THE TECHNOLOGY:
Researchers at NASA’s Langley Research Center are developing a head-worn display system for pilots to improve safety and efficiency in aviation operations, particularly taxiway and runway safety at airports. Airports are experiencing tremendous increases in traffic, leading to runway near-incursions and incursions, setting the stage for potentially tragic accidents. NASA’s technology provides pilots using the device with a voice-controlled system that displays a real-time, virtual display of the airplane’s surroundings. Initial testing shows that this system provides significant safety and operational benefits during aircraft surface operations by enabling pilots to taxi alertly without having to look down at a cockpit screen.
To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to Sean Sullivan, Research Triangle International (RTI), at: NASA Langley Research Center, Strategic Relationships Office (SRSO), 17 West Taylor St., Mail Stop 218, Building 1212, Room 110 Hampton, Virginia, E-mail: Sean.D.Sullivan@NASA.gov, or phone: 757-864-5055. Please indicate the date and title of the FBO notice and include your company and contact information.
RTI is responsible for aggregating and acknowledging all responses. These responses are provided to members of NASA Langley’s Innovative Partnerships Office within the SRO for the purpose of promoting public awareness of our technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, SRO will follow the formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register as required. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
