HOW THE PROCESS WORKS: APEX has anonymized the information below due to the competitive nature of the solicitations and proposal environment. If you find an interest, please contact Michael Bianco using the input form below. Include the APEX assigned number or list of numbers to which you want to be introduced. The table columns designate whether the organization seeking a partner is a company or a university and the kind of organization sought for a partnership. The table also includes a technology description of what the advertising organization brings to the table (technology brought) and what the advertising organization seeks in a partner (technology sought) as well as the technical competencies of the desired partner. Once you respond with the APEX assigned number(s) you are interested in meeting, we will review the request with the researcher seeking a partner and get their approval to release additional information to both parties and connect the two of you to explore a collaboration. Once we connect parties, we leave it up to you to discuss if interests, objectives, and capabilities are aligned.
| APEX assigned number | Organization type | Type of partner being sought Sort ascending | Technology and/or capabilities brought into the proposal | Technology and/or capabilities sought in a partner or subcontractor | Areas of technical competence requested in a partner or subcontractor | What component or agency are you interested in? |

| 89 | Small Business | Both small business and/or research institute | We have developed and patented a vision system suitable for landing an autonomous flying drone on a heaving/rolling ship or docking an autonomous space vehicle with an orbital target. This system can determine the 3D position and attitude of a target relative to the observing system at high bandwidth (100 Hz or more). The system does not use image analysis and the computing demands are low enough to support onboard computation. We have operational optical detectors suitable for this application. | This vision system is a front-end to a drone navigation control system. We are looking for a partner to help us develop the software and build a proof-of-concept system that is ready to integrate into an autonomous vehicle.
