The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. High-Emissivity Ceramic Matrix Composites for Hypersonic Airframes

    SBC: APPLIED THIN FILMS, INC            Topic: MDA09007

    New materials and processes are needed to achieve performance requirements of future ballistic missile defense systems (BMDS). Ever increasing demands on achievable speed and performance require thermally stable, lightweight and mechanically robust thermal protection systems to protect underlying structures from aerothermal heating, radiative heating, as well as impact from rain and other particul ...

  2. Payload Thermal Management Technology

    SBC: Aqwest, LLC            Topic: MDA09020

    Aqwest proposes to investigate an innovative staged magnetocaloric refrigerator (SMCR) for thermal management of spacecraft payload electronics. SMCR offers a high-performance approach for thermal management of laser communication equipment and infrared (IR) sensors, while improving the overall payload energy efficiency and reducing its weight. The proposed project will leverage previous work by ...

  3. Design Modified Commercial CMOS for MDA IR FPAs

    SBC: BFE Acquisition Sub II, LLC            Topic: MDA08013

    Foreign missile threat will increase as ballistic missile technology becomes available on an international scale. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) requires high performance, high sensitivity and low noise infrared sensors for space based sensing applications that operate in environments where radiation hardness is essential to mission operation. Radiation hard by design (RHBD) readout integrated circu ...

  4. Low Temperature Thermoelectric Cooling of Infrared Focal Plane Arrays with HgCdTe-based Superlattices

    SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: MDA09T007

    The deployment of next generation focal plane arrays sensing in the long wavelength infrared will improve the detection capabilities in all major MDA infrared systems. However, a major limitation to the employment of these high sensitivity arrays is the cooling system. Current tactical cryocoolers cannot meet the desired temperature requirements. The goal of this project is to develop the technolo ...

  5. Near-infrared, Linear Mode, Photon Counting HgCdTe Focal Plane Arrays

    SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: MDA09038

    The MDA is developing deployable airborne systems such as the Airborne Laser (ABL) for boost-phase missile defense. The ABL’s mission would significantly benefit from the development of sensors that enhance target detection and ranging capabilities. We propose near-infrared, linear mode, photon counting avalanche photodiode (APD) arrays that are compatible with ABL and based on highly sensitive ...

  6. Novel LWIR Detector Technology for high-yield, large format FPAs

    SBC: EpiWorks, Inc.            Topic: MDA09002

    EpiWorks will demonstrate an MOCVD capability to manufacture of GaSb/InAs strained layer superlattice (SLS) epitaxial wafers for 10um FPAs in a low-cost commercial, production environment. In our proposed effort EpiWorks would initially focus on duplicate state-of-the-art results that have been achieved to date in research labs using MBE growth. This would lay the groundwork for EpiWorks to con ...

  7. Radar Multi-Beam Receive Arrays

    SBC: FIRST RF CORPORATION            Topic: MDA09015

    The FIRST RF approach to multi-beam phased array antennas proposed for this phase I program uses innovative application of techniques traditionally used in communication networks in order to simultaneously perform RF analog beamforming of multiple beams simultaneously on a single RF manifold. The proposed methods are scalable to a large number of simultaneous beams, and are independent of both the ...

  8. Calibration techniques for very large arrays

    SBC: FIRST RF CORPORATION            Topic: MDA08030

    Phased array antenna systems are growing in use within military systems. These arrays of thousands of elements need precise control of the aperture distributions to meet requirements for gain, sidelobes, etc. Errors in these phase and amplitude distributions over time will degrade the performance of these apertures. FIRST RF favors simple concepts with little or no hardware impact that fully ch ...

  9. High-Fidelity Multiphysics Simulations of Nozzle Erosion

    SBC: ILLINOISROCSTAR LLC            Topic: MDA09T009

    A collaborative effort is proposed between IllinoisRocstar LLC and the University of Illinois to develop and commercialize a computational framework to investigate nozzle erosion in solid-propellant rocket motors (SRM) and tangential instability modes in liquid rocket engines (LRE). For SRM, highly resolved simulations will be performed to understand the effects of turbulent inlet conditions, as w ...

  10. Improved Performance, More Producible Long Wave IR Integrated Dewar Assemblies

    SBC: N-SCIENCE CORP.            Topic: MDA08019

    Our PHASE II effort intends to take forward the 3 best Black Surface Processes as a result of the PHASE I study effort. The processes chosen: Deep Space Black (DSB), Deep Cobre Black (DCB), Deep Immersion Black (DIB), have shown the potential to meet the surface quality needs of the community on a variety of substrate materials. All require additional effort in PHASE II to open the "application ...
