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. IMAGINE: Imagery Management through Agile, Geo-Interactive, Natural Embodiment

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: NGA11002

    Overhead imagery analysts employ computer-based software as Electronic Light Tables (ELTs), to perform detailed analysis of aerial images in search of elements of interest. Conventional display design for ELT software requires analysts to take their eyes away from the image they are analyzing to perform routine functions. This interaction overhead typically leads to losses in visual momentum and i ...

  2. Geo-registration of Aerial Imagery Using 3-D Volumetric Models

    SBC: VISION SYSTEMS INC            Topic: NGA11001

    With the advancement of aerial imaging sensors, high quality data equipped with partial sensor calibration models is available. There is a recent research activity in computer vision community that aims to reconstruct 3-d structure of the observed scenes relying on the content of the imagery in fully automated ways. However the research has not matured into robust systems ready for operational set ...

  3. Imagery Exploitation Applications of Neuroscience

    SBC: CHI SYSTEMS INC            Topic: N/A

    "The primary objective of this effort is to develop a robust object matching system that can be applied to a variety of image exploitation needs. The analytical decisions by our proposed context aware, neural column-based image expert (CANCIE) will utilizecontext knowledge or expectations about the current "mental space," as well as imagery having an object matching component and an analysis com ...

  4. A Universal Graphical Geospatial Interface

    SBC: Fetch Technologies            Topic: N/A

    "Fetch Technologies (FT) proposes to build a geospatial catalog system that will not just tell you which products are available, but also allow the user to see the actual products and the relationship to other products. Customers will be better enabled todetermine exactly which products contain the information they need and then order those products from NIMA. One of the key pieces of technology u ...

  5. Multi-level Frame Technology for Digital Elevation Data Generation

    SBC: Physical Optics Corporation            Topic: N/A

    "The National Imagery and Mapping Agency is seeking new and innovative technology for generating Digital Terrain Elevation Data Level 2 (DTED-2) for territories above 60 degrees N. Important criteria include vertical accuracy of 16 m and horizontal accuracyof 20 m, and identification and selection of available cost effective imagery sources that will require a minimal number of ground control poin ...

  6. Neurophysiological Based Methods of Guided Image Search

    SBC: Veridical Research and Design Corporation            Topic: N/A

    "Complex analysis of intelligence imagery is crucial to the missions of intelligence organizations, yet remains constrained by labor-intensive, time-consuming visual search of large volumes of imagery. Many algorithms have been developed to automaticallyidentify regions of interest in large, complex sets of imagery, yet the utility of such algorithms is limited by the fact that human analysts dete ...

  7. Innovative Technology for Generating Digital Terrain Elevation Data Level 2 (DTED-2) Above 60 degrees N

    SBC: VEXCEL CORP.            Topic: N/A

    "Vexcel Corporation proposes to address challenge of providing DTED-2 elevation data in the "north of sixty" latitude region of the earth using civilian spaceborne synthetic aperture radar. SAR data is well suited to complement the already collectedShuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data and does not suffer from weather conditions that limit conventional EO systems. Based on prior work, an ...
