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. Tube-Launched Rotary Wing UAV for Remote Surveillance Operations

    SBC: Lite Machines Corporation            Topic: N04T004

    The Navy desires to equip P-3s and similar future aircraft with UAVs that can be launched from a standard A-size sonobouy tube and return real-time information including video images from remote locations for further analysis and action. Lite Machines has developed an electric-powered rotary-wing UAV having a cylindrical body and a counter-rotating, coaxial, rotor system, that fits within these ti ...

  4. Development of a Compact Laser for Damage Detection and the Laser Bond Inspection (LBI) Process

    SBC: LSP Technologies, Inc.            Topic: AF04133

    To reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency, composites are being used in aircraft construction at an accelerating rate. The presence of material defects in these composite structures can lead to disastrous failure under flight loads. Many classes of these defective regions are undetectable by conventional NDI techniques such as ultrasonic probing. A revolutionary new inspection technology inv ...

  5. Miniature Low-Cost Bandwidth Efficient Advanced Modulation (BEAM) Transceiver for Small Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

    SBC: NOVA ENGINEERING, INC.            Topic: N03183

    Recent advancements in modulation and coding have produced waveforms that are not only both power and bandwidth efficient, but are also well suited for operation with small, highly efficient, non-linear power amplifiers. These new techniques can significantly improve the current throughput of standard 25 KHz UHF channels, thereby enabling a single channel to simultaneously carry digital data, ima ...

  6. Crashworthy Ballistic Tolerant Fuel Tank Weight Reduction

    SBC: MATERIALS ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES CORP.            Topic: A04091

    The pressure to reduce weight and maintain performance and safety is a significant driver in aviation technology development programs. Fuel and fuel systems are major contributors to weight on aircraft, including fuel cells, fittings, access panels and support structures. The design of the fuel cell is dictated by requirements to integrate the fuel cell into the aircraft structure, facilitate acc ...

  10. User-Defined Critics for Software Adaptation

    SBC: EDAPTIVE COMPUTING INC            Topic: SB022037

    Systems often fail because of unknown or unanticipated errors. Software/hardware components that can detect and correct errors would provide substantial cost savings and greatly enhance system reliability. The first step in achieving this goal is to create a paradigm in which the system becomes more “aware” of its operating performance characteristics and conditions that prompt intervention t ...
