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. Radiation-Hard, High Efficiency InP/InN Tandem Cells

    SBC: Spire Corporation            Topic: MDA04T017

    Spire proposes to investigate InP/InN tandem solar cells for applications where extreme radiation-hardness is needed. Indium phosphide (InP) has proven itself as a radiation-hard cell material, and indium nitride (InN) has shown superior radiation resistance to 2MeV protons. InP (1.34 eV) and InN (0.7eV) bandgaps allow current-matching (38 mA/cm2) under the AM0 spectrum, enabling two-terminal ope ...

  2. High-Fidelity Simulation of Missile Laser/Plume Radiation Transport

    SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES INC            Topic: MDA03085

    Lasers are being considered for several functions in boost-phase missile defense systems, including interceptor to ground communication, and detection of missile hardbodies. Exhaust plumes can attenuate and scatter laser light, interfering with the function of the laser systems. Spectral Sciences, Inc. proposes to develop MCScene-PluS, a new laser/plume interaction radiation transport simulation ...

  3. Novel GaN HBT for Advanced T/R Modules for X-band Radar Performance Enhancement

    SBC: PHOTRONIX            Topic: MDA03034

    Recent advances in semiconductor technology have brought the performance of materials such as Silicon, Gallium Arsenide and Indium Phosphide close to their theoretical limits; however, device requirements for many applications of power electronics are at a point that present power devices cannot meet. The requirements include higher operating voltages, cut-off frequencies, efficiency and reliabili ...

  4. The Missile Operational Signatures Toolkit

    SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES INC            Topic: MDA03080

    Spectral Sciences, Inc. proposes to fully develop and apply the Missile Operational Signatures Toolkit (MOST) modeling tool successfully demonstrated in Phase I, resulting in a substantial upgrade of modeling capabilities for transient events above 90 km. The diversity and complexity of these events is challenging to capture in a simulation due to their unsteady and 3D nature. Our approach is to ...

  5. Advanced In-Flight Interceptor Communications System (IFICS) Error Detection/Correction

    SBC: XENOTRAN CORPORATION            Topic: MDA03054

    Xenotran proposes to develop a forward error correction device for use in Ballistic Missile Defense systems for ensuring survivable and robust communications between the Battle Management, Command, Control, and Communications elements and an ExoAtmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV) during flight. Communications in this channel is known to be subject to Rayleigh and Ricean fading, intentional jamming and ...

  7. High Performance Point Source LEDs

    SBC: ATEC, Inc.            Topic: MDA04030

    Long standing relationships with the Ioffe Institute have allowed ATEC to license novel LED technologies developed by Matveev and co-workers, including InGaAs LEDs that emit in the 3 to 5 um region and Negative Luminescence devices that are capable of simulating objects at temperatures below ambient. The goal of the proposed work is to adapt a high efficiency optically pumped GaAs LED stucture d ...

  8. Innovative Aspheric Surface Generation of Silicon Carbide Optics

    SBC: SSG, Inc.            Topic: MDA04035

    The superior material properties of Silicon Carbide (SiC) have made it an attractive optical material candidate for a number Air Force and Missile Defense Agency applications. Missions like Miniature Kill Vehicle (MKV), Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS), and Airborne Laser (ABL) all require aspheric optics which are lightweight and thermally stable, with low cost production being critical for m ...

  9. Beryllium Alloy Replacement Materials for Missile Optical Structures

    SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC.            Topic: MDA03048

    Foster-Miller will demonstrate an innovative, low cost and health hazard-free ceramic matrix composite (CMC) material to effectively substitute beryllium and its alloys in EKV optical structures. We previously demonstrated an affordable and scalable processing route to produce high performance and complex shaped CMC materials. During Phase I, mechanical and thermal properties of our low cost SiC m ...
