MOIDSS?- Mobile Online Intelligent Decision Support System, Phase II

GRID has had a successfully completed Phase I 'Mobile Online Intelligent Decision Support System' (MOIDSS). The system developed into a total solution that supports the ability to send and receive digital and analog data from sensors such as photography cameras, spectrometers, infrared and thermal scanners and other system sensors using the 'cube' computers and mobile Personal Data Adapters (PDA's). The data from the sensors can be accessed rapidly in real-time within a GIS using GRID 'geospatial-realty intelligent linking database' (GRILD) autonomously using GPS geospatial authentication. The system has successfully received data using wireless networking systems such as spread spectrum, UHF, and satellite communication systems. Using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions allows a solution that is not proprietary and proven security biometric identification. This system uses GRID's customized software with partners ESRI and Leica Geosystems. The solution was designed with input from local first responders and facility managers. GRID is prepared to move to the next phase to enter the market with a valuable product.

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.
