Wireless Instrumentation Development in Flight

Completed TRL 6 (started at 4, targeting 6)

Description

Develop resource efficient test capabilities for inflight wireless instrumentation technologies to increase TRL of NASA aeronautic and aerospace technologies, SBIRs, academia partners, and ECI/CIF. This CIF project will flight-test a low-risk BLDS module.

Benefits

Increase the TRL of a wireless hub technology and advance cutting-edge technology area. Increase commercialization opportunities.

How to get involved

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 6) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
