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. Wave Energy Harvesting to Power Unmanned Surface Vehicles

    SBC: Advanced Mechanical Technology, Inc.            Topic: N05T021

    Recent world events have highlighted the need for timely and accurate intelligence data to assess threats and combat terror. An unmanned surface vehicle (USV ) can potentially perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, provide force protection, hunt for mines in coastal waters or harbors, and provide port security. USVs under development by the Navy are powered by the ...

  2. IMAGES: Instrument for the Measurement and Advancement of Group Environmental SA

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N04T026

    Network centric warfare promises to increase information sharing and allow distribution of decision making. This will improve military effectiveness, but only if the situational awareness (SA) of warfighters is correctly aligned. IMAGES is a software tool that will infer the cognitive states of individuals and groups engaged in cognitive collaboration and measure group SA by exploiting data on the ...

  3. Mission Displays for Autonomous Systems (MiDAS)

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N05T017

    We propose producing the MiDAS (Mission Displays for Autonomous Systems) interface designed to exploit existing automation capabilities of unmanned vehicles and improve future user interfaces in unmanned vehicles using an automated control system. Our technical approach features an innovative concept: using a Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) approach to provide the structure for our design of the Mi ...

  4. Construct a Comprehensive Model of Radar Scattering from the Ocean Surface

    SBC: Arete Associates            Topic: N05T011

    Current models do not include realistic representations of sea spike generators, such as breaking or near-breaking waves. This STTR proposal will address this short-coming by developing realistic physical models of sea spike generation and incorporating these models into existing state-of-the-art hydrodynamics and radar scattering models. By overcoming a major hurdle, this work will represent a ma ...

  5. Expendable Oceanographic Sensing System

    SBC: Arete Associates            Topic: N05T027

    Areté Associates and the Applied Research Laboratory of the Pennsylvania State University (ARL) are collaborating to develop a sensor/communications capability to aid the Navy gain much needed oceanographic data in denied areas. The plan is to design and demonstrate an expendable, in-situ sensor package that will measure several ocean parameters autonomously and covertly, record the data, and lat ...

  6. Underwater Acoustic Communications

    SBC: BENTHOS, INC.            Topic: N05T022

    This proposal is concerned with the development of very long range acoustic communications (acomms) with submerged submarines with towed arrays . To achieve long ranges, we must move down from our conventional signaling above 10 kHz, to a frequency regime which imposes little attenuation on the signals. Based upon the availability of an extensive, well-documented long-range sonar data base, we p ...

  7. A Profiling Bioluminescence Sensor for use in the Coastal Ocean

    SBC: BENTHOS, INC.            Topic: N05T026

    Collecting and understanding marine bioluminescence (BL) distribution data is an important Navy requirement for strategic operations. Bioluminescence profile, spatial distribution, and temporal data can be used to understand the vulnerability of covert operations or to determine the detection threshold of hostile forces. Additionally, the low-cost collection and cataloging of this information wil ...

  8. Clutter Removal and Substantially Improved Submarine and Mine Detection Through Affordable

    SBC: BRAINLIKE, INC.            Topic: N05T025

    Magnetic detection of submarines, mines and other objects of interest has continued to improve in both sensitivity of the sensors and reduction in the complexity and cost of sensor devices. Sensors alone, regardless of how far science is able to improve their abilities, will not solve the problem. The Navy will have to find processing solutions capable of quickly and cost-effectively highlightin ...

  9. Hybrid Inferencing for Data Fusion and Situation Assessment

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: N04T025

    We have developed a hybrid inference system for data fusion (DF) and situation assessment (SA) for multi-source intelligence analysis, with specific application to Marine Corps operations in urban environments. The approach views an urban environment as a complex dynamic system whose state vector is composed of a large number of both discrete and continuous variables (hence is hybrid) representing ...

  10. Combining Model-based Reasoning with Knowledge Discovery Techniques for Level 2 and 3 Fusion

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: N05T019

    We propose to develop an approach to combine model based reasoning with knowledge discovery techniques for enhanced Level 2 and 3 data fusion, especially suitable for detecting asymmetric threats (e.g. ambush, insurgency) in cluttered urban environments. The knowledge discovery part: 1) deploys evidence filtering of large volumes of intelligence data to detect low-signature significant spatio-temp ...
