The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. Operational Sand and Particulate Sensor System for Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines

    SBC: HAL Technology, LLC            Topic: N18AT023

    Gas turbine engines with prolonged exposure to sand and dust are susceptible to component and performance degradation and ultimately engine failure. Our proposed sensor will use an innovative hybrid and complimentary discrimination approach to incorporate material identification along with capability of size, size distributions, and concentration while maintaining the same form factor of the curre ...

  6. Tunable interferometer in SiN

    SBC: NEXUS PHOTONICS INC            Topic: N21BT019

    We propose to develop tunable, high-power handling, low-loss phase-to-amplitude conversion photonic-integrated circuit (PIC) based device on heterogeneous SiN platform. The use of SiN for waveguide is the key to meet the stringent requirements, while additional heterogeneously integrated components are the key to enable tuning and locking of the phase-to-amplitude device. Nexus Photonics, realizi ...

  7. Hemp-based Fabric for Military Uniforms

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N21AT001

    Hemp fibers have been used in textile applications for thousands of years, but have been limited to textiles for home furnishing, rope, sacks, and other non-clothing textile applications. However, new treatment methods for hemp fibers to improve their hand, as well hemp’s general softening properties with time and wear, make these fibers attractive for use in performance clothing due to hemp’s ...

  8. Rapid Aircraft Emergency Parachute Recovery System for In-Flight Emergencies on AAM Vehicles

    SBC: Aviation Safety Resources, Inc.            Topic: AFX20DTCSO1

    Conventional Aircraft Emergency Parachute Recovery Systems (AEPRS) have been in use since the 1980s and are credited with saving + 500 lives.  Current designs are dependent on forward speed and will not work efficiently in a VTOL environment (no forward speed).  ASR currently designs and produces mature AEPRS products for the general aviation and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) markets.  ASR also ...

  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 ...

  10. Intelligent fly-by-feel systems for autonomous aircraft

    SBC: ACELLENT TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: AFX20DTCSO1

    Future intelligent autonomous vehicles like the Orb/eVTOL/UAM (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing/Urban Air Mobility) vehicles will be able to “feel”, “think”, and “react” in real time by incorporating high-resolution state-sensing, awareness, and self-diagnostic capabilities. They will be able to sense and observe phenomena at unprecedented length and time scales allowing for super ...
