The Sensor Science and Technology Forum (SS&TF) is a vibrant technology cluster located in Hampton Roads thanks in part to the research and development done at NASA Langley and other federal institutions in the area.  This HRTC Community of interest works hand-in-hand with the HRRP's Sensors Cluster activities.  Regional and national level events are held each year to the effort to develop world-recognized sensor technology leadership.  The success of the SS&TF has spawned the formation of the National Center for Applied Sensor Science and Technology Research hosted at Norfolk State University.
