Anthony Pro - Human Automation Interaction in Aerospace Systems, Phase I

This proposed project aims to demonstrate the feasibility and utility of a data mining system designed to facilitate the interpretation of information obtained from distributed information sources. Each source providing data on high value data would be modeled as an information retrieval system. This approach is effective whenever several systems are available that are used by different groups to retrieve information from databases defined in the same information universe. For purposes of insuring comparability and defining a shared information universe for investigative operations, a uniform resource identifier (UFI) will be used to filter the raw data. An independent retrieval system, defined on the distributed databases of UFIs, will be implemented for the sources. The collective results of these systems will be used to determine (in real-time) a norm for any given search. This norm will then be used to identify either high-profile or unusual activities that warrant further investigation.

This is a mature technology (TRL 7+) — the realistic path in is usually NASA's Technology Transfer Program: licensing an existing NASA patent, or a Space Act Agreement to use NASA facilities/expertise directly. NASA also runs a startup licensing program with no upfront fee for companies formed to commercialize a specific NASA technology.

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.
