- Description
- NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits inquiries 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. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Scientists at NASA Langley Research Center have developed 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. NASAs technology provides pilots using the device with a voice-controlled system that displays a real-time, virtual display of the airplanes 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. Tested embodiments use a full-color display to show computer-generated airport views and aircraft state data in 3-D detail over an unlimited field of regard with minimal clutter. Voice command simplifies operator interaction and minimizes the pilots head-down time. Head tracking enables the system to highlight key information for the pilot, using symbols to direct the pilots attention to locations and objects outside the airplane. This system is independent of the aircrafts installed information systems so that there is minimal impact to currently installed cockpit displays. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to LaRC-PatentLicensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information. Please also provide the nature of your interest in the technology along with a brief background of your company. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at http://technology.nasa.gov/. These responses are provided to members of NASA Langleys Office of Strategic Analysis and Business Development OSACB for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed 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, OSACB will follow the required formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
