- Description
- 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 system to detect and locate atmosphericclear air turbulence (CAT) by means of a ground-based infrasonic array to serve as anearly warning system for aircraft. This system could augment existing systems such aspilot reports (PIREPs), airborne lidar, and airborne radar. The NASA system offers abenefit based on the fact that the existing electromagnetic methods lack targets at30,00040,000 ft and will not detect CAT. Because CAT and severe storms emit infrasoundthat propagates over vast distances through the Earths atmosphere, the Langley systemoffers an excellent early warning opportunity. The system has been able to detect knowneventssuch as detection of the launch of the Space Shuttle in Florida all the way fromVirginia. It also has correlated data with NOAAs PIREPs information.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: Sean.D.Sullivan@NASA.gov, 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.
