AI Contract Overview

NASA Langley Research Center is inviting companies to express interest in licensing a patented technology developed to detect and locate atmospheric clear air turbulence (CAT) through a ground-based infrasonic array system. This innovation functions as an early warning tool for aircraft, enhancing current detection methods like pilot reports, airborne lidar, and radar by addressing their limitations at altitudes of 30,000 to 40,000 feet where electromagnetic approaches fail to identify CAT. The system leverages infrasound emitted by CAT and severe weather, providing a significant advantage due to its ability to detect events over long distances, demonstrated by successful detection of the Space Shuttle launch from Virginia and correlations with NOAA’s pilot reports. License rights for this technology may be granted on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and can be tailored to specific fields of use. Interested parties are encouraged to respond to NASA's designated contact, Sean Sullivan at Research Triangle International, to express their interest. Responses serve to inform NASA’s preliminary market research and gauging public commercial interest, with any formal licensing opportunities to follow established federal procedures. This solicitation does not imply a direct procurement but rather seeks to foster partnerships and technology commercialization.

Full 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: contact@example.gov, or phone: +1 (555) 000-0000. 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.
