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. Resistance Welding of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites for Repurposable Applications

    SBC: VISTA ENGINEERING AND CONSULTING, LLC            Topic: T12

    We propose to develop resistance welding (RW) technology for carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFR-TCs) based on innovative heating element technology. A proposed target for these innovations is repurposable aerospace applications. Historically, CFR-TCs were not considered as the material of choice for aerospace applications despite their excellent specific strength and modulus. In ...

  2. High-Order Solution Methods for Aerothermodynamic Flow Simulations on Unstructured Meshes

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: T9

    Hypersonic vehicles have seen renewed interest in recent years for both civilian and government applications. However, the hypersonic flow regime poses unique challenges to computational aerothermodynamic simulation tools due to complex physics, including a combination of strong shockwave formation, thin boundary layers, real gas effects, thermochemical nonequilibrium, and departures from continuu ...

  3. Uncertainty Management Framework for Space-based Autonomy

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: T10

    Uncertainty management within autonomous systems is imperative to improving trust in multi-agent cyber-physical-human systems. These multi-agent systems require not only a robust uncertainty quantification strategy, but also an intelligible representation of uncertainty to human agents to elucidate confidence in the autonomous portions of the multi-agent systems. Here, we propose to develop a gene ...

  4. Novel Construction of Lunar Landing Pad Reinforcement Structures

    SBC: LINC RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: T12

    Early Apollo-era landings indicated a variety of hazards including obstruction of visibility, high-velocity ejecta, and plume cratering. These problems resulted in damaging the lander itself and nearby equipment. In order to safely complete landing and launch sequences, lunar landing pad designs are required to mitigate plume effects, redirect and/or capture exhaust flow, and dissipate the kinetic ...

  5. Cooperative Control and Localization of Multiple Spacecraft using a Multi-Agent Mission Operations System

    SBC: INTERSTEL TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: T4

    Multi-satellite swarms are becoming very popular due to their low costs and short development time. Instead of large and costly monolithic satellites, small satellite swarms can be flown as distributed sensing platforms for atmospheric sampling, distributed antennas, and synthetic apertures among other exciting applications, delivering an even greater mission capability. This project contributes t ...

  7. Design and Optimization Toolkit for Advanced Tailorable Composites

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: T12

    Lightweight, advanced structural materials are needed to enable affordable space exploration beyond lower Earth orbit. Composites have been studied and used for these applications for decades, but are still limited to off-optimal, quasi-isotropic designs. Integration of dissimilar fiber layups and novel matrix materials in the composite structure can lead to significant improvements in material pr ...
