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. Realtime PB-IED and Threat Detection With Spectro-Polarimetric Hyperspectral Camera

    SBC: BRIMROSE TECHNOLOGY CORP            Topic: NASAT801

    Optical detection of objects hidden behind opaque layers is a challenging problem. As such, Person-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (PB-IEDs) underneath clothing continue to be a persistent threat to the military and law enforcement communities. Safe stand-off detection in crowds is needed for the confirmation, identification, and neutralization of PB-IEDs. Technologies previously investigated i ...

  2. Low Earth Orbit Positioning, Navigation and Timing (LEO-PNT)

    SBC: COHERENT TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC.            Topic: A21CT017

    Coherent Technical Services, Inc. (CTSi) and the University of Texas at Austin Radionavigation Lab (RNL) propose developing prototype modules that exploit Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) mega constellations to provide Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) data to mounted and dismounted troops. These prototypes will be compatible with the Mounted and Dismounted Assured PNT Systems (MAPS and DAPS, respective ...

  3. Large-scale production of fungal melanin for novel radiation shielding/harvesting applications

    SBC: MELATECH, L.L.C.            Topic: A19BT010

    The optical and physicochemical properties of melanin polymers are unique and can be applied to generate a new class of products with a wide variety of commercial applications that include radiation shielding countermeasures, camouflage/screening, thermal energy harvesting, and insulation.  Access to melanin is currently limited to Sepia officinalis (cuttlefish) at $460/g which prohibits its use ...

  4. RODEO: Roll-Over Detection for Equipment-transporter Operation

    SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc.            Topic: A18BT025

    In dismounted operations, combating and marching while carrying heavy loads can quickly exhaust Soldiers/Marines and hence affect the overall OPTEMPO. The Army SMET Program was established to address this capability gap. During the early testing of the SMET prototypes, however, the tele-operated vehicles were found to be prone to frequent rollovers/overturns, especially due to insufficient awarene ...

  5. 5G++- Adapting 5G for Tactical mmWave Networks

    SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc.            Topic: A19CT002

    5G technology is targeting very high throughput, low power, and low latency, which are expected to benefit not only commercial but also tactical communications. Operating in millimeter wave (mmWave) bands provides high bandwidths to meet the ever-growing throughput demands of emerging tactical applications in shared spectrum environments. However, 5G waveform, as it is, does not satisfy Army’s r ...

  6. Additive Manufactured Smart Structures with Discrete Embedded Sensors

    SBC: 3DFlexible Inc            Topic: A17AT024

    Today’s soldiers and vehicles are equipped with sensors and devices that are ‘connected’ through boards, processors/chips, transceivers, and micro mechanical systems.  To design, fabricate and embed sensors and devices on the warfighter and to connect them efficiently is going to require multiple advanced manufacturing technologies: Subtractive Manufacturing (CNC), Additive Manufacturing (A ...

  7. DOEYK: Detecting Objects with Enhanced YOLOv3 and Knowledge Graph

    SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc.            Topic: DTRA19B002

    Current state-of-the-art object detection algorithms are almost exclusively based on Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN). These algorithms all require a large number of labeled examples for each of the object categories they can recognize. These algorithms will fail for novel objects that only very few or even no prior examples are available. These algorithms are also far less accurate when c ...

  8. Man-Portable, Direct-Fuel Capable, Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

    SBC: MILLENNITEK, LLC            Topic: A14AT011

    A lightweight and man-portable 300W tubular solid oxide fuel cell is being developed that can operate directly from liquid fuels without the need for separate fuel processing. A novel freeze-casting approach is being used to produce the anode-supported cells with an integrated catalyst that prevents sulfur and carbon in the fuel from degrading the electrical performance over time. Solid oxide fuel ...

  9. DRAGONS – Dynamic Resource Allocation Gains for Operational Networked Sharing

    SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc.            Topic: A18BT007

    Sharing platforms have already transformed some sectors of civilian logistics, promoting the efficient utilization of resources, such as cars and bicycles. Sharing resources is particularly desirable when those resources are costly, and high utilization is critical, characteristics often observed in military settings. In order to address specific constraints imposed by military applications on res ...

  10. RAfFLES: Ransomware-Aware Flash-basEd Storage

    SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc.            Topic: A18BT010

    Ransomware is an international crime operation that strikes commercial, public and government organizations. It is estimated that ransomware has cost nearly $5 billion in damages worldwide in 2017 alone, and if left unmitigated, by 2019 will hit an enterprise every 14 seconds causing a projected total loss of $11.5 billion. Intelligent Automation Inc. and its academic partners propose to take adva ...
