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. Multi-hit Performance of Small Arms Protective Armor

    SBC: TRANSPARENT ARMOR SOLUTIONS INC.            Topic: A14AT017

    The weight tolerance and value of various US Army assets dictates the sophistication of the armor systems employed for their protection.  The Warfighter is the most weight sensitive and highest value of all assets and thereby utilizes the most advanced and expensive materials in their protection systems.  This effort provides a significant improvement in understanding the multi-hit behavior of a ...

  2. Tunable Active HEterodyneHEterodyneTerahertz Imaging (TAHETI)

    SBC: LONGWAVE PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: A17AT007

    The Tunable Active HEterodyne Terahertz Imager (TAHETI) system will use Terahertz Quantum-Cascade Lasers (QCL) combined with a Schottky diode detector for ultra-high dynamic range FMCW heterodyne imaging. Distributed feedback (DFB) QCLs with multi-milliwatt power levels are engineered to emit at slightly offset frequencies, and are used as local oscillator and illumination for imaging. The QCLs wi ...

  9. Accurate Space Object Prediction via Improved HASDM Input Parameter Calibration

    SBC: KAYHAN SPACE CORP            Topic: AF20CTCSO1

    Atmospheric drag is the biggest source of error and the least predictable perturbing force acting on spacecraft and space debris objects in orbit around Earth. The U.S. Air Force uses the High accuracy satellite drag model (HASDM) to predict the atmospheric drag effects. Kayhan Space in collaboration with the University of Colorado Boulder and Space Environment Technologies seeks to improve the HA ...
