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. 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. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Analysis and Modeling of Erosion in Gas-Turbine Grade Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs)

    SBC: ALPHASTAR TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS LLC            Topic: N19BT033

    A significant barrier to the insertion of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials into advanced aircraft engines is their inherent degradation under erosion and post erosion. Our team will develop and demonstrate a physics-based model for erosion/post erosion of CMC’s at room and elevated temperatures (RT/ET). The ICME (Integrated Computational Material Engineering) Physics based Multi Scale Mo ...

  9. Passive Acoustic Cued Electro-Optical (ACE-O) Detect and Avoid For sUAS

    SBC: SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONS & RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC.            Topic: N21AT003

    Detecting and Avoiding (DAA) manned aircraft from small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) remains the unsolved problem for safe integration of sUAS into civil airspaces where Navy UAS must pay Due Regard to the laws of civil aviation. The difficulties are manifold. The solution requires both ultra-low SWaP sensors that track aircraft over long ranges, providing 360o field-of-regard (FOR), and often ...

  10. The use of modulated radiation pressure in target detection and classification

    SBC: HEAT, LIGHT, AND SOUND RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N21AT010

    Both acoustic and electromagnetic waves exert forces of radiation on targets in their path of propagation. The radiation force (pressure) results from the change in wave momentum due to scattering by the target, averaged over one period of oscillation.  Modulated radiation pressure (MRP) utilizes the acoustic radiation force by using a double-sided suppressed carrier modulated (DSB-SCM) incident ...
