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: Researchers at NASAs Langley Research Center are developing a head-worn display systemfor pilots to improve safety and efficiency in aviation operations, particularly taxiwayand runway safety at airports. Airports are experiencing tremendous increases in traffic,leading to runway near-incursions and incursions, setting the stage for potentiallytragic accidents. NASAs technology provides pilots using the device with avoice-controlled system that displays a real-time, virtual display of the airplanessurroundings. Initial testing shows that this system provides significant safety andoperational benefits during aircraft surface operations by enabling pilotsto taxi alertly without having to look down at a cockpit screen.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:
