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. Development of Hydrocarbon-Based Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs)

    SBC: Functional Coating Technology, LLC            Topic: AF06164

    We have recently demonstrated that high power densities can be achieved for SOFC using liquid hydrocarbon fuels via direct internal reforming. This approach can provide solutions for the highly power-dense applications required by Air Force (e.g. auxiliary power units for aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles) and many portable and transportation applications in commercial sector. Because the sta ...

  2. Warpage/Distortion in Machining 7050-T7451 Alloy Components

    SBC: AURORA FLIGHT SCIENCES CORPORATION            Topic: AF06087

    The machining of structures from materials such as titanium is typically accomplished using end mills and roughing 90 to 95 percent of the material to leave precise, complex features on thin walled structures. High speed machining is widely used in the manufacture of parts and reduces labor significantly. Single Cell Machining will be developed to produce structures which require machining and l ...

  3. Improved Manufacturing Technology for Investment Casting Cores

    SBC: Mikro Systems, Inc.            Topic: AF06114

    This Phase I SBIR project will demonstrate the ability to produce investment cast ceramic cores at lower cost and in a shorter time than current manufacturing technology, while improving process yield. This will result in more rapid and less costly prototyping of advanced aircraft engine components and will enable production of turbine airfoils having advanced film cooling features that have not ...

  4. Embedded Health Monitoring Sensor Systems and Ultrasonic Acoustic Detection

    SBC: NANOSONIC INC.            Topic: AF06101

    NanoSonic proposes to develop sensors for the health-monitoring of F-35/Joint Strike Fighter through this Air Force SBIR program. During Phase I, NanoSonic would design and fabricate novel nanostructured thin film sensors formed by Electrostatic Self-Assembly (ESA) to detect material deterioration of strike fighter components. With recent success in the development of conductive polymer based nan ...

  5. Advanced Manufacturing Processes for Reduced Cost of Ceramic Matrix Composite Engine Components

    SBC: Synterials, Inc            Topic: AF06103

    The principal objective of the interface coating research has been to provide high strength and high strain to failure in a ceramic composite. As the applications have gain acceptance, the focus has changed to affordability. There are three high cost area in a ceramic composite. They are: 1.The cost of the fiber, 2. The cost of the interface coating, and 3. The cost of the compositing operatio ...

  6. Novel Additives for Passivating Silicon Nitride Bearing Elements in Perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPAE) Lubricants

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF06100

    The U.S. Air Force has a need for stable high performance lubricants for current and next generation gas turbine engines. Perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPAE) fluids have been the subject of intense development over the past 40 years. This work has led to a current generation of lubricant formulations that are highly resistant to degradation in the presence of modern engineering steels. However, the la ...

  7. Super High Temperature Erosion and Wear Resistant Ceramic Rubber™ Coatings

    SBC: NANOSONIC INC.            Topic: AF06098

    NanoSonic has developed revolutionary nanostructured, inorganic/organic hybrid Metal Rubber™ and Ceramic Rubber™ coatings. Specifically, ultra-lightweight (< 0.98 g/cc), nanostructured conformal coatings with low CTE, thermal protection (> 450 C, 842 F) and abrasion / wear resistance with excellent adhesion to metal and PMC substrates with complex shapes are offered. Metal Rubber™ is fabri ...

  8. Plug-and-Play Structures for Satellite Applications

    SBC: 3 Phoenix, Inc.            Topic: AF06273

    The concept of a plug-and-play (PnP) deployable structure intended for configuration, verification and check-out, and deployment presents large challenges in meeting short duration cycling requirements. Specifically, state awareness technologies (e.g., embedded sensing arrays) must be designed and implemented such that transmission of relevant information (e.g., load, vibration, etc.) is permitted ...

  9. Hyperspectral Algorithms for Anomaly Detection

    SBC: SET ASSOC. CORP.            Topic: AF06210

    We propose to develop methods for enhancing computational efficiency and effectiveness of HSI anomaly detection. Many existing algorithms typically suffer from significant false alarms due to the assumptions that the local background is Gaussian and homogeneous. These approaches also require significant computational resources providing a significant impediment to near-real-time implementation. ...
