- Description
- Strategic Partnership Project- Non Federal Entity Agreements Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) Doing Business with Sandia brochure Sandia National Laboratories pioneered the Phase Gradient Autofocus algorithm (PGA) which enables sharper imaging in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). By deploying PGA, similar algorithms and other related technologies from radar applications, and image and signal processing capabilities, Sandia has the potential to significantly advance the vanguard of sonar and underwater sensing, especially in underwater vehicle applications. Advancements in sonar and underwater sensing technology will broaden applications and will also result in improved effectiveness in underwater vehicle technologies. Sandia's capabilities include developing and applying existing algorithms in sonar and radar applications. Sandia has a large IP portfolio of algorithms in radar and sonar technologies that could be effectively deployed in the sonar and underwater sensing space. Prospective applications include port and shipping security, underwater or seafloor anomaly detection, and underwater salvage. Sandia seeks to collaborate with a company or companies interested in partnering opportunities leading to new applications of advanced algorithm technology for underwater vehicles. Collaborations may take the form of Cooperative Research & Development Agreements (CRADA), or Strategic Partnership Project (SPP) agreements. Additional information related to these agreements can be found attached below. CRADAs and SPPs provide the potential for significant competitive advantages for our partners, including up to exclusive licenses to Sandia technologies. Please see attached "Doing Business with Sandia" for a description of the various types of partnerships and agreements available. Potential partners will be required to provide funding to Sandia to develop this technology. In addition, partners must have a significant demonstrable interest/track record in developing and deploying this or related technologies. Interested companies are required to have experience and expertise in one or more of the following areas: •Underwater vehicles •Towed-array sonars •Other Sonar Imaging •Underwater vehicle sensor technology such as cameras, thermal sensors, long distance tele-operation •Autonomous vehicle operation Instructions to Responders: Interested parties that meet the criteria outlined above are invited to respond. To express interest and to obtain additional information, please contact Wallace Bow via email at wjbow@sandia.gov. Sandia will consider teaming arrangements where two or more companies may form a team to satisfy the requirements. Sandia National Laboratories is a multi-program laboratory managed and operated by Sandia Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation, for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration under Contract DE-AC04-94AL85000.
