4
utrf.tennessee.edu 4 The RadCompass system is currently at TRL-5 (rapidly approaching TRL-6) – A functioning prototype with live readout has been developed & tested – Further development of the DAQ system (currently in- progress) would push the system to TRL-6 and beyond The RadCompass algorithms have been tested both through computational simulations & field tests with realistic source terms, both of which support the viability of this system The RadCompass algorithm is ready for commercial deployment – Further development is now focused on demonstrating the performance of the integrated system through a functioning prototype TECHNOLOGY OPPORTUNITY (Note: plan for 1 minute on this slide. A second slide may be used here if appropriate)
5
utrf.tennessee.edu 5 TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP Unique to the RadCompass design is its ability to detect the relative bearing of a radiation source in real time for a diversity of radiation sources using existing, commercial off-the-shelf components Key performance indicators of the RadCompass include our battery of realistic simulations & tests detailing the performance limits of this system – e.g., max. source distance & min. source activity (Note: plan for 1 minute on this slide.)
6
utrf.tennessee.edu 6 Viability of the RadCompass concept has been demonstrated and is fully developed; focus is now on design improvements & performance characterization through realistic testing to enable potential licensees to more rapidly move to market RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT PLAN (Note: plan for 1 minute on this slide.) Full patent filed FY15 Q2FY15 Q3 FY15 Q4 FY16 Q1 FY16 Q2 Develop user interface & standalone electronics Conduct live field tests with vehicle-mounted prototype Finalize unit performance benchmarks First commercial product Develop field-scale prototype unit
7
utrf.tennessee.edu 7 Finalized design/data within a few months – Current R&D effort focused on development of a viable prototype, including enhanced UI and device performance characterization Targeting a licensing strategy – Can be on market within 1-2 years of license – Minimal additional development required Technology could be developed by a startup, but likely a licensing target for established companies – Companies with vehicle mounted systems already on market – Companies looking to break into this market COMMERCIALIZATION PLAN (Note: plan for 1 minute on this slide.)
