NASA has launched a system that works to automate the process for transferring NASA-patented technology to industry.
The Automated Technology Licensing Application System is designed to help companies apply for any of the more than 1,400 NASA technologies that are currently available for licensing, the agency said Tuesday.
ATLAS works to collect basic information from applicants as well as email updates on the application status and any required actions.
Steve Jurczyk, associate administrator of NASA’s space technology mission directorate, said the agency’s technology transfer program seeks to help create jobs, support U.S. economic competitiveness and introduce new products and services to market.
NASA’s searchable patent portfolio includes technologies in various fields such aeronautics, propulsion, electronics, materials, sensors, instrumentation and other disciplines.

The U.S. Navy is moving away from the optionally manned vessel concept as it refines its vision for unmanned platforms that will operate alongside traditional surface ships, USNI News reported Friday. Officials said the service now prefers designs that keep sailors entirely off board. Speaking at an event at the U.S. Naval Institute, Capt. Matt Lewis, program manager for unmanned maritime systems, said the change stems from the complexity and cost that come with designing ships to accommodate crews. He noted that the Navy’s recent presolicitation for a Modular Attack Surface Craft, or MASC, encourages proposals that remove the need
