Award Data
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.

Validation Experiments to Measure Transient Aerothermoelastic Response of a Curved Panel to Hypersonic Flows
SBC: METROLASER, INCORPORATED Topic: AF16AT24An experiment to obtain validation data on the transient aerothermoelastic response of a curved panel in hypersonic flows will be designed and evaluated for its feasibility. Significant challenges must be overcome for a successful experimental campaign i...

Using Magnetic Levitation for Non-Destructive Detection of Defective and Counterfeit Materiel
SBC: Nano Terra, Inc. Topic: DLA15C001The introduction of substandard or counterfeit materials into the DoD supply chain can have extremely expensive, and potentially life threatening, consequences. Current techniques used to detect nonconforming materiel can be destructive (e.g., manual sectioning and inspection of a part), time consuming and expensive (e.g., micro-computed tomography, ultrasound), or provide only limited informatio ...

Universal Multivariate Information Measures for Multisensor Inference (UMIMMI)
SBC: BOSTON FUSION CORP Topic: AF16AT29Automatic target recognition (ATR)the identification of a potential target based on signatures in sensor datais fundamentally a question of information content. While ATR has been studied for decades, it remains a challenge because multifarious tar...

Uncooled Photomechanical Terahertz Imagers
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: AF09BT33Agiltron and the University of Massachusetts Lowell will develop a transformational terahertz (THz) imager based on Agiltron’s established optical readout photomechanical imaging technology. The photomechanical imager contains a MEMS-based focal plane array that transduces THz radiation into a visible signal for capture by a high-performance CCD imager. By leveraging the advances made in the fie ...

Ultrafast Hybrid Active Materials and Devices for Compact RF Photonics
SBC: Photonic Systems, Inc. Topic: AF09BT25In this project, we propose to use the radiation-assisted poling technique to enhance the electro-optic coefficient of a polymer that we will integrate within a silicon nano-slot waveguide. The electro-optic coefficient in the slot is expected to improve to nearly its optimal value that it exhibits in bulk material. To avoid a free carrier transit time limit and reduce the radio-frequency propag ...

Ultradense Plasmonic Integrated Devices and Circuits
SBC: ULTIMARA INC Topic: AF08BT18We propose to develop ultradense plasmonic integrated devices and circuits for optical interconnect compatible with the electronic circuitry. In our proposal, we will employ engineered metallic nanostructures that combine energy concentration by plasmonic lenses and retardation-based plasmonic resonances to even further boost the efficiency of materials exhibiting optical nonlinearity. These plas ...

UAV Guidance on GPUs by Nominal Belief-State Optimization
SBC: Apolent Corporation Topic: AF09BT06We apply the theory of partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) to the design of guidance algorithms for controlling the motion of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with on-board sensors for tracking multiple ground targets. While POMDPs are intractable to optimize exactly, principled approximation methods can be devised based on Bellman’s principle. We introduce a new approximation ...

Tools for Modeling & Simulation of Molecular and Nanomaterials for Optically Responsive Devices
SBC: EIC LABORATORIES, INC. Topic: AF09BT30The effective de novo prediction of linear and nonlinear optical properties of materials would be a great resource for developers of military and commercial optical devices. Of particular military interest are multiphoton processes that can be optimized for laser protection as well as for improving photovoltaic efficiencies above the Shockley–Queisser limit, for photodynamic therapy and for opti ...

Three-Dimensional Density Imaging by Rayleigh Scattering
SBC: METROLASER, INCORPORATED Topic: AF16AT06A diagnostic is proposed for obtaining instantaneous three-dimensional volumetric distributions of density in a flow field at velocities ranging from subsonic to supersonic. Two variants of laser-based Rayleigh scattering will be investigated, each of wh...

Theoretical Innovations in Combining Analytical, Experimental, and Computational Combustion Stability Analysis
SBC: HYPERCOMP INC Topic: AF09BT38Combustion stability is an important consideration in the design of liquid rocket engines. While fundamental modes of unstable operation in simple geometries are easily identified using analytical methods, recent times have seen these methods greatly expand in scope, applied in semi-numerical format to increasingly complex geometries and flow situations. Much remains to be explored in understandin ...
