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. Low-Cost, High-Precision Actuator for Collaborative Autonomy Aircraft

    SBC: Kaney Aerospace, Inc.            Topic: AFX20DTCSO1

    Kaney is transitioning MAGTORQUE™ technology for platforms within the Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program. Kaney’s disruptive MAGTORQUE™ technology provides enhanced actuator precision via the strategic integration of magnetic materials to achieve zero backlash actuation, however this zero-backlash actuation requires additional magnetic materials that impact overall ac ...

  6. Modeling Tools and Control Scheme for Boosting eVTOL Powertrain Performance

    SBC: HINETICS LLC            Topic: AFX20DTCSO1

    The proposed work of this Phase II STTR is hardware demonstration and system application of the digital tools and controls developed in Phase I. The technology package extends the performance range of electrified powertrains under highly transient loading conditions, such as those experienced by eVTOL vehicles, by taking advantage of finite thermal rise times seen by embedded electric motors/gener ...

  8. Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) of High-Modulus Aligned-Fiber

    SBC: IMPOSSIBLE OBJECTS, INC.            Topic: AF21ATCSO1

    CBAM is superior because it has strong material properties, can be upgraded to new materials easily, and can do this at industry-leading speeds. This last point is what sets CBAM apart from the competition. Because CBAM uses well-developed 2D-printing techniques to do 3D printing, IO can straight-forwardly scale CBAM using these time-tested 2D-printing technologies to reach mass-production speeds ...

  9. Rotor Blade Designs for Quiet Performance

    SBC: CU AEROSPACE L.L.C.            Topic: AFX20DTCSO1

    CU Aerospace (CUA) and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) are developing a new design methodology for rotor blades, which will offer quieter performance compared to conventional approaches. The applied approach seeks to mitigate the acoustic impact of vortex-induced noise of lifting rotors and propellers, which currently serves as a dominant noise source for these systems. The t ...
