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. Rydberg-atom RF Sensors for Direction Finding and Geolocation (RADARS)

    SBC: COLDQUANTA, INC.            Topic: AF17AT028

    ColdQuanta, in partnership with Dr. Zoya Popovic at the University of Colorado at Boulder, proposes to develop a three-dimensional quantum-enhanced radio-frequency (RF) signal sensor and direction finder. Our approach combines Rydberg-atom-based RF electrometry and discrete lens arrays (DLAs) of planar antennas. The DLA will serve as a Fourier optic for an incident wave, and a Rydberg-atom RF elec ...

  3. Non-fluorinated AFFF Replacement

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: AF182011

    Aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs) have been used for decades by public, commercial and military firefighting organizations to fight hydrocarbon fires. AFFFs containing fluorinated surfactants have superior firefighting capabilities, but many are classified as persistent, bio-accumulative, and toxic. As a result, new, reliable, environmentally-friendly, fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrates ...

  4. A Compact Full Motion Video Hyperspectral Measurement System for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems

    SBC: SPORIAN MICROSYSTEMS, INC            Topic: AF171130

    Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) platforms fit into the USAF Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance strategy by providing local persistence, operation in contested environments, and low probability of detection. SUAS gimbal performance is typically limited to full color full motion video, limiting target detection and identification information available to image analysts and detecti ...

  5. Low Hyrdrogen Embrittlement (LHE) Brush Plating Chemistries for Cadmium (Cd) Replacement

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: AF171093

    Electrolytic cadmium (Cd) coatings topped by a hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] conversion coating post-treatment are the standard method used to protect and repair critical aircraft components (like landing gear). Cadmium coatings have excellent properties and have been used for over 50 years. Unfortunately, cadmium is regulated by OSHA and EPA; health and environmental concerns (worker exposure, haz ...

  6. Complex Object Reflectance Characterization System (CORCS)

    SBC: NUTRONICS, INC.            Topic: AF18AT007

    Nutronics, Inc. and Montana State University propose to develop a method for characterization of the full Mueller matrix for reflective scattering from a test object. The Complex Object Reflectance Characterization System (CORCS) will initially be designed for laboratory use and characterization of test objects by active imaging to measure both the Mueller Matrix and the target depth associated wi ...

  7. Rugged Atomic Timekeeper

    SBC: COLDQUANTA, INC.            Topic: AF182002

    ColdQuanta (CQ) seeks to develop, prototype, test, and operationally demonstrate a precise timing reference system for defense and commercial platforms in GPS-denied environments. Named the Rugged Atomic Timekeeper (RAT), our approach leverages laser cooling to improve upon chip-scale atomic clock (CSAC) systems, addressing fundamental limitations of CSACs for the GPS-denied operational environmen ...
