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. High Compression of Infrared Data

    SBC: NUMERICA CORPORATION            Topic: AF131070

    ABSTRACT: Data compression schemes generally fall into two main categories: lossless and lossy. Lossless schemes promise to provide an uncompressed file which is identical before and after compression. As lossless schemes must be able to reconstruct every feature of the original file they often provide modest compression ratios. In fact, it is easy to show that no lossless compression scheme ...

  2. Cost Effective Solar Array based on High Efficiency Thin-Film Technology

    SBC: COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT, INC.            Topic: AF13AT06

    ABSTRACT: This Phase I effort will involve the development of an ultra low cost, high specific power, modular and flexible solar array module using currently available thin-film solar cells, innovative interconnects, and flexible encapsulation. The high efficiency thin-film solar cells will enable high specific power and flexibility in the module. The interconnect scheme and encapsulation will a ...

  3. Improved Estimation Approaches for High-Accuracy Satellite Detection, Tracking, Identification, and Characterization

    SBC: NUMERICA CORPORATION            Topic: AF131076

    ABSTRACT: Numerica is proposing to extend its mature multiple hypothesis tracking (MHT) technology by providing additional estimation and data fusion algorithms to support improved space object detection, tracking, identification, and characterization. An extended program would aim to develop a feature-aided MHT (FA-MHT) capability that (i) exploits both kinematic and feature data including light ...

  4. Liquid Crystal on Silicon Based Compact Multi-Spectral Scene Projector Technology

    SBC: BOULDER NONLINEAR SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: AF131185

    ABSTRACT: The proposed effort will perform a feasibility study on developing a multispectral scene projector from 0.4µm to 5µm, using liquid crystal on Silicon (LCoS) spatial light modulators (SLMs). BNS has successfully developed scene projector technology using this approach previously. A modular approach will be considered in which additional spectral band scene projector arms (SPAs) can be ...

  5. Graphene Memory Device

    SBC: ADVANCED PHOTON SCIENCES LLC            Topic: AF121055

    ABSTRACT: The Department of Defense requires a reliable non-volatile radiation hardened memory for Space and Airborne platform applications. MGRAM, a form of graphene and magnetic memory, promises to satisfy these requirements and to provide a solution path to achieving low cost, high reliability solid state drives for personal computers and systems. MGRAM is based upon a nano scaled bar magnet w ...

  6. Common Bus Interface Adapter Chip

    SBC: DESIGN NET ENGINEERING LLC            Topic: AF121068

    ABSTRACT: A key problem in the rapid and lower cost development of spacecraft is that the various devices that comprise the spacecraft bus do not typically provide a single standard interface and/or communications protocols. This forces a design-to-order paradigm in which a spacecraft bus is developed on a per-mission basis with little reuse of existing software. Efforts such as SOA have defined ...

  7. Micro Airborne Relay Technology

    SBC: Airborne Innovations LLC            Topic: AF131175

    ABSTRACT: We propose to develop a compact and very capable micro airborne relay system which will will extend broadband communications range and provide the ability to transfer multiple HD video and data streams beyond the horizon. We can leverage technology we have previously developed which will allow us to easily demonstrate feasibility and specify a new system designed for the relay task, as ...

  8. Thermal Isolation Technology for Large-Format Li-ion Batteries

    SBC: ADA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: AF141071

    Large format lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries with ineffective cell isolation are potentially hazardous when exposed to conditions such as crush, overcharge, discharge, high temperature and internal short circuit. The recent Boeing incidents and similar incidents in the automotive industry underscore the importance of current research into the root causes and safety hazards associated with such batt ...

  9. Machine Learning using Sparse Feature Representations for Non-Resolved Space-Based Space Sensing

    SBC: NUMERICA CORPORATION            Topic: AF141123

    Numerica is proposing a data-driven approach using modern state-of-the-art machine learning methods on sparse feature representations of non-resolved photometric data, for space object characterization, classification, and anomaly/change detection in support of threat identification and notification (TIN). In order to support the future needs of the SSA mission, including the maintenance of a grow ...

  10. Integrated Opto-Electronic Components for Multiaxis Inertial Measurement Units

    SBC: VESCENT PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: AF141134

    We propose to develop extremely compact and rugged laser systems for emerging cold-atom-based sensors of time, gravity, and inertial forces. Our goal is to integrate distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers, semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA), high-speed detectors, phase/frequency detectors, phase modulators, and optical routing, splitting and combining circuits onto GaAs substrates resultin ...
