    Description

    Special Notice: NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION is seeking inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a Damage and Tamper Detection Sensor System. This wireless sensor system, known as SansEC, can be placed on or embedded in materials and structures to monitor for and detect damage. It can also detect package tampering and pilfering. The system consists of multiple pairs of inductor-capacitor sensors with no electrical connections, which are placed throughout the material being monitored for damage. Changes in resonant frequency indicate strains, breaks, or damage location within the material. Interested parties can submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS). No follow-on procurement is expected from this notice. For more information, visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal.
