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 Broadband and High Precision Comb Spectrometer for Diode-Pumped Alkali Lasers (DPALs)

    SBC: OPTICSLAH, LLC            Topic: MDA22T008

    Diode-pumped alkali lasers (DPALs) have inherently high optical-to-optical efficiency and thus the potential to reach megawatt-class average power lasers with near-diffraction limited beam quality. However, as DPALs scale up in power, a plasma is formed in the gain medium, resulting in lower efficiency and increased gas heating. This ultimately leads to a degradation in laser beam quality and a po ...

  2. Surrogate Models to Accelerate High-Fidelity Physics Based Simulation

    SBC: STELLAR SCIENCE LTD. CO.            Topic: MDA22T003

    The MDA has identified a need for decreasing the time required for simulations and rendering by orders of magnitude. To address this need, Stellar Science and the University of New Mexico (UNM) propose the development and use of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), which have been shown to reduce execution times dramatically while still maintaining small errors compared to traditional physics ...

  5. Jitter Reduction in Light Weight Beam Control Devices

    SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORP            Topic: MDA20010

    MZA is proposing to use both system and component level finite element modeling along with rapid prototyping enabled by additive manufacturing (AM) to iteratively design and test low SWaP optical mounts that passively isolate jitter. Each directed energy system has its own unique jitter challenges, and by developing a process to tune optical mount performance to its jitter environment, jitter can ...

  6. Infrared Optical Array (IOA)

    SBC: TAU TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: MDA20T003

    We propose two innovative improvements to sensor systems for early detection and tracking. First, develop inexpensive, persistent, infrared optical arrays, using modern optical array sensors and their signal processing systems. The proposed prototype IOA is based on the two operating PANDORA (Persistent And Optically Redundant Array) Tau visible arrays. Second, The Tau tracking optical arrays util ...

  7. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) for Space-based Applications

    SBC: IDEAS ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY LLC            Topic: MDA18015

    The use of GPUs in space is desirable as they provide means to boost the performance of CPU-based computers in a spacecraft. This will enable the processing of raw sensing data on-board, reducing significantly the amount of data that needs to be transmitted to the ground. This represents savings in power and radio link bandwidth/complexity. Unfortunately, as all microelectronics, modern GPUs are s ...

  8. Advanced NPB Low Energy Beam Transport Technologies

    SBC: Little Prairie Services            Topic: MDA18019

    In the near thirty years since the BEAR experiment, many technologies directly or indirectly applicable to an advanced neutral particle beam (NPB) have emerged due to other DOD programs, commercial investments, or other government programs. Key elements of a space-based NPB system include mass, size, and efficiency. The work proposed herein results from investments in the commercial arena, primari ...

  9. Graspable Math Activities

    SBC: GRASPABLE INC            Topic: 91990018R0006

    Through previous grant awards from IES, researchers developed Graspable Math, a tablet-based intervention where middle and high school students create and manipulate complex expressions for basic operations as well as equations and equations systems and inequalities. In this project, the team will develop a prototype of Graspable Math Activities, an app with novel kinds of algebra practice and ass ...

  10. High Speed Missile to Missile Communications

    SBC: INDIANA MICROELECTRONICS, LLC            Topic: MDA17001

    Indiana Microelectronics is proposing an alternative design for a high-speed missile to missile radio frequency communications link. The concept is to implement a reconfigurable, full duplex, software defined Ku band transceiver to allow for faster data throughput and better interference mitigation than existing downlinks. The system would be designed to operate at a higher frequency than the exis ...
