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. Bottom Feeder- A Highly Maneuverable Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

    SBC: Tridentis Advanced Marine Vehicles LLC            Topic: 822

    The Bottom Feeder project is designed to prove out the research done in Phase I using a prototype platform. The prototype will be a full size version of the platform designed during Phase I. The Phase I platform was designed to work in two operational configurations, a highly efficient mode and a highly maneuverable mode, with the ability to switch between them while submerged. The platform is equ ...

  2. Single Photon Counting LIDAR Sensor

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: S1

    Sensors for spaceborne aerosol, cloud, and ocean (ACO) lidar must possess very wide dynamic range to cover the weakest stratospheric returns from the Rayleigh region and the strongest atmospheric targets, such as bright water clouds and strong reflections from the ocean surface. Currently this is not possible using a single sensor. To address NASArsquo;s need for next-generation spaceborne lidar s ...

  3. On-Demand Cost Situational Awareness for Urban Air Mobility

    SBC: THE INNOVATION LABORATORY, INC.            Topic: A3

    Urban Air Mobility (UAM) will only be realized if the amount of people and vendors participating grows at a sufficient rate that allows for UAM to be profitable and beneficial to the passengers, airside service providers (ASPs), vertiport operators, and other stakeholders.nbsp; With the economy of scale, larger fleet sizes will bring down prices, and lower prices will encourage a greater number of ...

  4. Pulsed Radiation-Induced Acoustics for Non-Destructive Testing

    SBC: CORVID TECHNOLOGIES, LLC            Topic: Z11

    Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) using acoustic vibrations is a widely used method to assess unique structures and composite materials. Non-contact forms of ultrasonic NDE, such as laser-induced ultrasound, are particularly suited for in situ evaluation in extreme environments. Current limitations of this method include the inability to identify shadowed defects, probe double-walled vessels, and e ...

  7. Compact High-Degrees-of-Freedom Freeform Beam-Expander Optics

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: S2

    To demonstrate the ability of freeform gradient optics to achieve compact lightweight high-performance beam-expanding optics, working with NASA subject matter experts and other stakeholders, the requirements for the lidar beam-expanding optical system will be refined. Design trade studies will be performed before various lidar beam-expander optics are designed and modeled. On-axis and off-axis afo ...

  8. Processing of Bulk Metallic Glass by Pulsed Electrochemical Machining

    SBC: Voxel Innovations, Inc.            Topic: Z3

    Bulk metallic glass (BMG) has gained popularity over the last two decades as alloys have been developed that can remain in a supercooled state at sufficient intervals to allow for processing in a similar manner to plastics. Their physical properties, including an unusual combination of hardness, strength, and elasticity, have made them ideal candidates for the production of strain wave gears. Both ...
