Federal Aviation Administration
Technology Transfer Program Office

The goal of the Technology Transfer Program is to transfer knowledge, facilities, equipment or capabilities developed by Federal Laboratories or agencies to the private sector. This will expand the United States technology base and maximize the return on investment in Federally funded research and development. The purpose of the Technology Transfer Program is to help the private sector meet the challenges of the highly competitive global economic environment along with providing FAA personnel assistance in achieving critical R&D goals or meeting objectives for under-funded mission needs. Congressionally mandated research, in spite of limited R&D funds, have a direct impact on aviation, the mission of the FAA, or on the civil aviation community
