In cooperation with federal laboratories and the private sector, the FLC Technology Locator Service helps potential collaborators take advantage of the vast reservoir of technology and expertise located within federal laboratories. A world class manufacturer of custom tailored materials requested assistance identifying new materials with specific characteristics that were developed at federal laboratories and are available for licensing. “The Technology Locator identified federal laboratories with material development capabilities in our areas of interest. We started the nondisclosure process and are currently negotiating with federal laboratories for new materials with tailored properties for use in manufacturing products related to the automotive, petroleum production, and consumer products industries.” —Director, Technology A world class manufacturer of custom tailored materials requested assistance identifying new materials with specific characteristics that were developed at federal laboratories and are available for licensing. “The Technology Locator identified federal laboratories with material development capabilities in our areas of interest. We started the nondisclosure process and are currently negotiating with federal laboratories for new materials with tailored properties for use in manufacturing products related to the automotive, petroleum production, and consumer products industries.” —Director, Technology A global specialty materials manufacturing company is in contact with several federal laboratories to identify new materials applicable to the automotive and electronics industries that will improve overall system capability. Properties for materials being sought include improved product quality, reliability, safety, and environmental characteristics. “The FLC Technology Locator was instrumental in providing us with points of contact at several federal laboratories to help identify technologies that have potential to be included in our product line.” —Senior Technology Scout A global specialty materials manufacturing company is in contact with several federal laboratories to identify new materials applicable to the automotive and electronics industries that will improve overall system capability. Properties for materials being sought include improved product quality, reliability, safety, and environmental characteristics. “The FLC Technology Locator was instrumental in providing us with points of contact at several federal laboratories to help identify technologies that have potential to be included in our product line.” —Senior Technology Scout Apache Helicopter, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, requested assistance identifying federal laboratory sources knowledgeable in speech, eye, and body-movement recognition useful to pilots in performing multi-task flight operations. “The response from several federal laboratory representatives provided valuable insight to equip helicopter pilots with best-in-the-fight tools to execute the vital mission tasks during combat operations.” —Earl R. Tillman, Electronics Engineer Apache Helicopter, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, requested assistance identifying federal laboratory sources knowledgeable in speech, eye, and body-movement recognition useful to pilots in performing multi-task flight operations. “The response from several federal laboratory representatives provided valuable insight to equip helicopter pilots with best-in-the-fight tools to execute the vital mission tasks during combat operations.” —Earl R. Tillman, Electronics Engineer Researchers from the University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were interested in collaborating with the U.S. Forest Service regarding technologies used to extinguish forest fires, and clothing and equipment used by U.S. firefighters. “Representatives from the U.S. Forest Service and the University of Rio de Janeiro are in the process of exchanging information regarding firefighting techniques used to control and extinguish forest fires, and the clothing and equipment used by the firefighters in their respective countries.” —John Fehr, Forest Service - San Dimas Technology and Development Center Researchers from the University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were interested in collaborating with the U.S. Forest Service regarding technologies used to extinguish forest fires, and clothing and equipment used by U.S. firefighters. “Representatives from the U.S. Forest Service and the University of Rio de Janeiro are in the process of exchanging information regarding firefighting techniques used to control and extinguish forest fires, and the clothing and equipment used by the firefighters in their respective countries.” —John Fehr, Forest Service - San Dimas Technology and Development Center The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division, was tasked by the Department of Defense (DOD) with conducting a study to determine the uses of zirconium oxychloride (ZOC). Several questions were asked of ZOC users of throughout the federal laboratory system; their responses were needed to complete the DOD study. “The FLC Technology Locator identified points of contact at other federal laboratories that were working with zirconium products. The input we received from other federal laboratories contributed to the successful completion of the study.”—Project Leader, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division, was tasked by the Department of Defense (DOD) with conducting a study to determine the uses of zirconium oxychloride (ZOC).

The GVG provides a portal for easy submission of ground vehicle systems technology concepts, ideas and innovations to TARDEC. "With the assistance of the FLC Technology Locator, we were able to disseminate information about TARDEC's Ground Vehicle Gateway. TARDEC is always on the lookout for innovative ideas that have the potential to improve ground vehicle technology and solutions to meet the needs of the DOD. The GVG provides an easy and convenient way for businesses to interact with TARDEC and submit those ideas and solutions." —Peter DiSante, CRADA Manager, U.S. Army, TARDEC, NAC The U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC)/ National Automotive Center (NAC) recently established the Ground Vehicle Gateway (GVG) at https://tardec. groundvehiclegateway.com/.
