AI Contract Overview

NASA Langley Research Center is offering licensing opportunities for a newly developed technology that significantly improves the calibration of pitot-static air data systems used in aircraft to measure airspeed. This innovative method reduces the calibration time by up to ten times compared to conventional techniques like trailing cone or tower fly-by, which are typically time-consuming and costly. Additionally, the technology provides near real-time monitoring of airspeed measurement errors, enabling pilots to receive alerts when instruments are inaccurate or failing. This capability extends its utility to the health usage and monitoring industry, enhancing safety and reliability. Flight test engineers can be trained to use this system effectively within 12 days without the need for expensive specialized equipment. Interested companies can pursue either exclusive or nonexclusive license rights, potentially limited to specific fields of use, to commercialize, manufacture, and market this technology. Expressions of interest are to be directed to Sean Sullivan at Research Triangle International, who facilitates communication between respondents and NASA’s Innovative Partnerships Office. This solicitation is intended to gauge market interest and inform NASA's licensing decisions; no procurement contracts or purchases will result directly from responses to this notice. The official solicitation was posted in April 2012 under the number TTO0981.

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 has developed a new method for calibrating pitot-static air data systemsused in aircraft. Pitot-static systems are pressure-based instruments that measure theaircrafts airspeed. These systems must be calibrated in flight to minimize potentialerror. Current methods that include trailing cone, tower fly-by, and pacer airplane aretime- and cost-intensive, requiring extensive flight time per calibration. NASAs methodcan reduce this calibration time by up to an order of magnitude, cutting a significantfraction of the cost. In addition, NASAs calibration method enables near real-timemonitoring of error in airspeed measurements, which can be used to alert pilots whenairspeed instruments are inaccurate or failing. Because of this feature, the technologyalso has applications in the health usage and monitoring (HUMS) industry. Flight testengineers can be trained to use this method proficiently in 12 days without costlyspecialized hardware.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.
