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. Passive Image Processing Algorithms for Automated Target Attitude Estimation

    SBC: TOYON RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF19BT005

    Weapons systems testing and analysis is crucial to engineering, understanding, qualifying, and deploying advanced weapons systems. With the boom in camera technology over the past decade image based methods to support weapons testing and analysis have become the state of practice for military test ranges. At the same time, there has been an explosion of research and development in computer vision ...

  2. Optimized Substrate Orientation for 4H-SiC Epitaxy

    SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP            Topic: AF19BT015

    SiC devices are limited in application due to high substrate manufacturing costs. High temperatures are required to make high quality 4H-SiC substrates, limiting throughput and imposing large maintenance costs on equipment. Lowering the process temperature will make SiC devices more economical, but difficulties with maintaining useful growth rates remain; altering CVD gas precursor chemistry alone ...

  4. Transfer Learning and Deep Transfer Learning for Military Applications

    SBC: Arete Associates            Topic: AF19CT004

    Aided Target Recognition (AiTR) algorithms augment human decision-making, but require a large database of labeled targets for training. Applied to new domains, these algorithms fail to transfer knowledge and require substantial retraining. Areté and University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) propose the development of the Domain Extracted Feature Transfer (DEFT) Network to transfer knowledge from a ...

  7. Super-High-Resolution, Distributed Photonic Sensors for Aerospace Platforms

    SBC: INTELLIGENT FIBER OPTIC SYSTEMS CORP            Topic: AF19CT010

    IFOS and STTR partner Stanford University propose an innovative fiber-optic sensor array leveraging the latest advances in slow-light fiber Bragg gratings (SL-FBG). SL-FBGs substantially improve upon the sensitivity of commercially proven conventional FBGs (C-FBG) by more than 3 orders of magnitude and can be interrogated at megahertz rates. SL-FBG differ from C-FBG in their refractive index modul ...
