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. Variable Thrust/Specific Impulse Electrospray Propulsion

    SBC: ALAMEDA APPLIED SCIENCES CORPORATION            Topic: AF08BT09

    Yale University and Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation (AASC) propose to develop a single propellant electrospray micro-thruster for space propulsion with a wide specific impulse range, from 500s at the low end to >2500s, with the goal of 10,000s, while maximizing the performance. Three key prior accomplishments have motivated the formation of this team: Yale, working with ARL has demonstrated M ...

  2. Health Monitoring of Composite Structures Using Carbon Nanotubes

    SBC: ACELLENT TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: AF08BT23

    The goal of the proposed project will be to develop a hybrid structural health monitoring (SHM) system that can detect both microcracks and localized damage/delamination in composite structures.  The hybrid system will combine the unique sensing capabilities of carbon nanotubes along with those of a piezoelectric sensor network to sense the location, nature and extent of damage.  This system com ...

  6. Mid-Infrared Precision Frequency Combs

    SBC: CALMAR OPTCOM, INC.            Topic: AF08BT16

    We propose a new concept for generation of ultra-broadband frequency combs in the mid-infrared frequency range. An octave-wide mid-infrared frequency comb output will produced by a sub-harmonic optical parametric oscillator pumped by a compact femtosecond fiber laser. Such a broadband frequency comb source will permit precision spectral measurements in the wavelength region of strong molecular abs ...

  7. Heat Transfer Prediction in Transitional Hypersonic Flow

    SBC: CASCADE TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: AF08BT13

    Accurate prediction of heat transfer in hypersonic boundary layers undergoing transition from laminar to turbulent regime is a technical challenge. Heat transfer overshoot at transition region is of particular interest here. We have proposed a two pronged approach for this problem. On one hand we will conduct very accurate Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) studies to understand the mechanisms of t ...

  8. Efficient Kinetic/Continuum Simulations of Hypervelocity Gas Flows in Nonequilibrium Dissociation and Ionization for Earth Atmospheres

    SBC: CASCADE TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: AF08T019

    In this project, we propose an original method to simulate dissociated and ionized hypersonic air flows from continuum to rarefied regimes for a wide range of scales inherent in Air Force applications. We will introduce the most consistent physical model currently available in kinetic theory. The applicability range of fluid dynamical descriptions used for continuum flows can be extended to the tr ...

  9. Development of Novel Polynitrogen-based High–performance Solid Propellants

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF08T022

    In this STTR program, CFDRC, in collaboration with the University of Idaho, proposes to develop some novel high-performance polynitrogen energetic materials for propellant applications. The proposed materials contain amine substituted tetrazole-based heterocyclic cations. In order to enhance the energy content and stability further, they are combined with energetic anions. These anions will have ...

  10. Advanced data mining tool for feature detection in turbulent flow simulations

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF08T017

    While DNS of complex flow phenomena is a routine practice nowadays, the analysis tools lack the sophistication to utilize the abundance of data generated, for they are devoid of physics-based data extraction and feature-detection protocols. The current effort proposes an automated and intelligent co-processing data-mining framework, in the form of an API, that detects and tracks flow features of s ...
