The goal of the Technology Transfer Program of the DOT and FAA 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
personnel assistance in achieving critical R&D goals or meeting objectives for underfunded mission
needs that promote safety and enhance the national transportation and aviation systems.
