The National Security Agency has established a formal technology transfer mechanism for openly sharing technologies with the external community. Our scientists and engineers, along with our academic and research partners, have developed cutting-edge technologies, which have not only satisfied our mission requirements, but have also served to improve the global technological leadership of the United States. In addition, these technical advances have contributed to the creation and improvement of many commercial products in America.

NSA has identified valuable advanced technologies in the following core areas, which are available for sharing:

Because NSA has exacting standards, you know that each capability has been tested and used to satisfy mission requirements. You can rely on the combined expertise of the team who developed these applications for use in the most demanding solutions.

In order to facilitate the transfer of technology from NSA to entities in government, academia, and industry, the Domestic Technology Transfer Program (DTTP) Office was established. We offer several ways for you to participate in technology with NSA including Cooperative Research and Development Agreements, Patent Licensing Agreements, Technology Transfer Sharing Agreements, and many others.

As a part of this effort, the Domestic Technology Transfer Program Office has created Technology Profile Fact Sheets, which describes technologies available for transfer. If you are interested in exploring any of the technology opportunities contained on this web site, please call 443-445-7159 or express your interest in writing to the National Security Agency, Domestic Technology Transfer Program, 9800 Savage Road, Suite 6541, Fort George G.
