TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Gateway Integrates Wireless Sensors with Existing Aircraft Systems at "the Speed of Software" (DRC-TOPS-42)

NASA’s Technology Transfer Program is seeking companies interested in licensing a universal wireless “gateway” that enables existing aircraft avionics to communicate with any wireless sensor without physical modifications. The gateway can be re‑programmed via software, allowing rapid integration of new sensing capabilities across multiple platforms and also holds potential for industrial IoT applications. License rights may be exclusive or non‑exclusive, and NASA does not provide funding for development. Interested parties must submit a license application through NASA’s ATLAS system. • Provides a software‑reconfigurable wireless interface for aerospace and other industries. • Eliminates weight and complexity of adding dedicated hardware to aircraft systems. • Enables rapid deployment of new sensor technologies across fleets already equipped with the gateway. • Licensing can be exclusive or non‑exclusive; no government funding is attached. • Applicable beyond aviation to logistics, predictive maintenance, asset tracking, and broader IoT markets.
