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. In-Situ Evaluation of Composite Structural Performance in Presence of High Stress/Strain Gradients Using Multi-Axis Fiber Grating Strain Sensors

    SBC: BLUE ROAD RESEARCH            Topic: N/A

    "This Phase II proposal uses multi-axis fiber grating strain sensors to characterize strain fields interior to complex composite materials. Advantages of this approach include the ability to measure transverse strain, transverse strain gradients and axialstrain simultaneously at multiple points along a single fiber line. Models and software will be developed to complement a data base generated t ...

  2. Life Cycle Performance Screening Using Fiber Optic Grating Sensor Systems for Composite Cryogenic tankage

    SBC: BLUE ROAD RESEARCH            Topic: N/A

    "Single and multi-axis fiber grating strain sensors were used to detect damage in a Phase I composite cryogenic tank. Acoustic signatures were collected from multiple fiber grating sensors during impact. Multi-dimensional strain field measures were usedto measure damage remotely through three cryogenic cycles. The first cycle occurred prior to impact and the second and third after two subsequen ...

  3. Fiber Grating Sensor Systems to Determine Motor Case Damage

    SBC: BLUE ROAD RESEARCH            Topic: N/A

    "Single and multi-axis fiber grating strain sensors were used to detect delaminations and cut tow damage sites in composite motor casings during Phase I of this program. Acoustic signatures were collected from multiple fiber grating sensors during impactand pressure cycling of the Phase I test article. Multi-dimensional strain field measures were used to measure damage remotely. The Phase II ef ...

  4. Fiber Optic Grating Strain Field Measurement for Aging Aircraft

    SBC: BLUE ROAD RESEARCH            Topic: N/A

    "Blue Road Research intends to extend the use of both high reflectivity, wavelength multiplexed grating sensors and low reflectivity, interferometrically multiplexed grating sensors to measure multi-dimensional strain fields in bonded joints in aerospacestructures, and use this strain field information to monitor structural integrity over the vehicle lifetime. In addition, Blue Road Research in ...

  5. Self-Healing Adhesives and Composites for Aerospace Systems

    SBC: CU AEROSPACE L.L.C.            Topic: AF06T025

    Self-healing composites and adhesives would alleviate longstanding problems in aerospace structures associated with multiple types of damage mechanisms such as mechanical/thermal fatigue, microcracking, and debonding. For example, a self-healing composite cryogenic tank would prevent leakage by sealing microcracks throughout the lifetime of the tank and enable the use of composites in this critica ...

  6. A LARGE TARGET RCS SIMULATOR WITH ANTENNA SCATTERING AND HIGH-ORDER EDGE DIFFRACTION CAPABILITY

    SBC: DEMACO, INC.            Topic: N/A

    We propose to develop a general purpose computer code for calculating the scattering from antennas on an aircraft, which is described by a CAD file. The scattering contribution will include both the passive structure mode and active irradiation mode, calculcated by a hybrid of a high-frequency ray technique and a rigorous finite element technique. The proposed code will be made compatible with the ...

  7. SCRAP TIRE PYROLYSIS-- PRODUCTION OF HIGHLY ENHANCED MARKETABLE PRODUCTS

    SBC: Hichem Corp.            Topic: N/A

    RESEARCH WILL BE CONDUCTED BY HICHEM CORPORATION, TO DEVELOP A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR PYROLYSIS OF SCRAP TIRES. DISPOSAL OF USED TIRES IS A BIG PROBLEM IN THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY USA, SINCE MORE THAN 2.5 MILLION TIRES ARE DISCARDED EACH YEAR. MOST OF THESE TIRES ARE DISPOSED IN LANDFILLS. PYROLYSIS OF SCRAP TIRES HELPS TO RECOVER AND REUSE MOST OF THE VALUABLE CHEMICAL AVAILABLE IN TIRES. PYROLYSIS OF S ...

  8. Innovative Flight Instrumentation for Hypersonics

    SBC: INDUSTRIAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INC            Topic: AF071265

    In this proposal we exploit the remote sensing attributes of ultrasound to conduct heat transfer studies on hypersonic propulsion components and vehicle materials. In the Phase I program, we have successfully demonstrated the viability of the ultrasonic method to measure surface temperature, local temperature and heat flux. In a series of laboratory studies, we have remotely measured surface temp ...

  9. Propulsion for Miniature Munitions

    SBC: KINETIC BEI LLC            Topic: AF071152

    A compact heavy fueled engine is progressing from a desire to a requirement. A miniature Meyer Nutating Disk Engine provides the means of propulsion that the military has been seeking. An unmanned air vehicle (UAV) will have capabilities that are not currently possible with present internal combustion engines. The miniature high power density Meyer Nutating Disk Engine designed during the Phase I ...

  10. High Efficiency Lightweight Triple Junction GaAs Solar Cells

    SBC: MICROLINK DEVICES INC            Topic: OSD07ES4

    The significance of the innovation in this Phase II SBIR is the development of a low cost lightweight multi-bandgap GaAs semiconductor material for high efficiency multijunction solar cells for space applications. This effort will advance space solar cell development by improvements in the efficiency and weight of GaAs based solar cells. This will be accomplished by applying our lift-off proces ...
