The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. A Bayesian Network Model for Tracking in Support of Discrimination

    SBC: NUMERICA CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    "The success of hit-to-kill missile defense systems depends on correct discrimination of an entire collection of tracks. A number of organizations are now building Bayesian Network (BN) system models that assume near-perfect tracking knowledge, and theseBNs use single tracks and collections of tracks to define their inputs. An additional capability in support of this effort is the modeling of im ...

  2. A Bayesian Network Model for Tracking in Support of Discrimination

    SBC: NUMERICA CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    The objective of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) is todetect, identify, and track targets using sensor observations, andengage the lethal objects using interceptors.To achieve the desired level of effectiveness, the system mustdistinguish between the lethal and non-lethal objects.Object identification is performed by a discrimination systemthat relies on a tracking system to associate ...

  3. Acetate Fiber Reinforcements for High Temperature Composites

    SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY, LTD.            Topic: MDA16020

    Touchstone Research Laboratory (TRL) has identified acetate fibers with structural characteristics analogous to heritage viscose rayon, which suggests they will be very promising Carbon Cloth Phenolic (CCP) reinforcements for Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) nozzles. Furthermore, acetate fibers are manufactured in the United States and are commercially available and deemed sustainable. Accordingly, TRL, ...

  4. Adaptable/Reconfigurable Distributed Spacecraft Processing

    SBC: SEAKR ENGINEERING, LLC            Topic: MDA04183

    On-board processing in satellites and spacecraft has been severely limited by the lack of space-qualified, High-Performance Computing (HPC) hardware. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are becoming the device of choice for ground based high-performance computing, with tens of millions of gates and clock rates of hundreds of MHz. Recently, Xilinx has begun to offer space-qualified versions of ...

  5. Adaptive Guidance Against Maneuvering Targets for Ballistis Missile Defense

    SBC: GUIDED SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: MDA07012

    Existing approaches to guidance and estimation for intercept of maneuvering targets are often dependent on assumed models of maneuvering target behavior. We have shown in Phase I that intercept lethality can be dramatically reduced when an interceptor guidance strategy optimized for a specific maneuvering target type encounters a target whose behavior differs from that of the assumed model. We th ...

  6. Adaptive, High Performance Wireless Multiwavelength, Hybrid Terrestrial Laser Communication Network

    SBC: EAGLE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, LLC            Topic: N/A

    Eagle Optoelectronics, LLC proposes to develop a wireless terrestrial laser communi-cation network for eyesafe operation in the 1.5 um wavelength range. The system uses an innovative low cost double-cladding Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) technology which is currently under development at the Naval Research Laboratory. Because of the operation in the 1.5 um wavelength band, the wireless part ...

  7. Adaptive Methods for Target Tracking, and Guidance and Control for the U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System

    SBC: GUIDED SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: MDA07012

    Ballistic missiles pose formidable challenges for target tracking and intercept because of their spiraling dynamics and significant maneuverability potential as they re-enter the atmosphere at high speeds. Recent studies have shown that conventional methods to estimation, guidance and control design are unable to guarantee sufficient accuracy against such highly maneuvering targets. This is not un ...

  8. Advanced ABIR Correlation and Fusion Algorithms for an Enhanced C2BMC

    SBC: NUMERICA CORPORATION            Topic: MDA07046

    The current U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) is comprised of a range of components, the integration of which is the responsibility of the Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) system. In the current architecture, track data from Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) systems and ground-based radar systems are processed separately. However, ongoing work is devel ...

    SBC: SHARPE ENGINEERING, INC.            Topic: N/A

    "Traditional software processing techniques can quite adequately address problems where the input data is accurate, and there is only one possible result for each situation. However, there are numerous problems related to missile defense that do not mapeasily to these traditional techniques.Individual AI technologies, such as expert systems, are most effective when sufficient knowledge is initial ...

    SBC: COHERENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: N/A

    CTI proposes an algorithm suite/design approach to improve speed, accuracy, and reliability of missile hardbody acquisition, track maintenance, and classification/identification efficiency. Various multiband passive IR, visible, and UV approaches, andnow, visible and IR ladar approaches, are being considered for Forward Based sensors for boost-phase missile defense. The algorithm suite/hardware ...
