Navy Technology Transfer

Federal technology transfer legislation has been in place since 1980. It promotes the licensing of patented technologies developed in the federal laboratories for commercial applications as well as cooperative research and development efforts between federal laboratories and non-government partners. Much of the research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) at Navy and Marine Corps laboratories involves leading-edge technologies (such as those highlighted on this page) in a wide array of technical disciplines with tremendous potential for commercial applications. Moreover, the equipment and facilities available to test this research are often unique and cannot be replicated in the commercial workplace.

Contact the Navy Tech Transfer Office or the appropriate naval lab if you are interested in learning more about any of these featured technologies.
