99--TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY - LIGHTWEIGHT SENSING AND CONTROL SYSTEM -FOR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE MONITORING CAPABILITIES

NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits interest from companiesinterested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market thefollowing technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basisand may include specific fields of use. THE TECHNOLOGY: NASA Langley Research Center has developed a new sensing and control system for unmannedaerial vehicles (UAVs) that allows for semi-autonomous flight. With this technology,pilots need not leave the ground to conduct routine monitoring and surveillance quicklyand cost effectively. Such systems are particularly useful during long flight segments orover remote locations, or for scientific applications such as atmospheric monitoring orcrop monitoring, which might require long and repeated sampling in a specific pattern.The small, lightweight technology can be quickly adapted to your specific configuration.To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to Sean Sullivan, ResearchTriangle International (RTI), at: NASA Langley Research Center, Strategic RelationshipsOffice (SRSO), 17 West Taylor St., Mail Stop 218, Building 1212, Room 110 Hampton,Virginia, E-mail: [email protected], or phone: 757-864-5055. Please indicate thedate and title of the FBO notice and include your company and contact information.RTI is responsible for aggregating and acknowledging all responses. These responses areprovided to members of NASA Langleys Innovative Partnerships Office within the SRO forthe purpose of promoting public awareness of our technology products, and conductingpreliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for futurelicensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, SRO willfollow the formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register as required. Nofollow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
