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. Hydrophobic Hollow-Fiber Membranes for Membrane Distillation Applications

    SBC: BEND RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    1The Navy has been investigating membrane distillation (MD) as a means of desalinating seawater aboard ships since 1983. MD could potentially offer advantages over conventional distillation, the technology in most common use now, and could offer an alternative to other promising membrane technologies such as reverse osmosis. These potential advantages include small size, simplicity, and low energy ...

  3. New Methods for Nonlinear Tracking and Nonlinear Chaotic Signal Processing

    SBC: NORTHWEST RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC.            Topic: N/A

    We propose a method to identify, separate, and classify complex broad-band signals, and, subsequently, to track and locaiize the typically elusive threats emitting those signals. The proposed methods were developed by the authors, and have already undergone some basic preliminary testing. The classification portion of the algorithm allows one to separate, classify, and identify targets when the re ...

  4. The Use of Explosive Welding to Create Protective Coatings for Liquid Metal Combustion Containment

    SBC: Northwest Technical            Topic: N/A

    1The purpose of this effort is to develop a technique for protecting Hastelloy S from corrosion caused by liquid lithium. This can be achieved by coating the Hastelloy S with a refractory metal (tantalum, molybdenum, and tungsten). Northwest Technical Industries proposes to use explosive welding to metallurgically bond a thin layer of tantalum, molybdenum and tungsten to Hastelloy S. The objective ...

  5. Liquid High Explosive Testing for Shallow Water Mine Clearing

    SBC: Olympic Load & Test, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    The U.S. Navy and Marine corps must be prepared to assault beaches laden with land mines and proximate to a region of water ranging from the beach high water mark to a depth of 80 feet which may also be laden with anti-ship mines. An effective method is required to counter this mine threat, which is compatible with naval assault time-lines, existing fleet assets, insensitive munitions requirements ...

  6. Unconventional Signal Processing Using the Cone Kernel Time Frequency Representation

    SBC: Space Applications Corporation            Topic: N/A

    Early detection, localization, and classification of submarine threats is an on-going mission within Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) programs. To counter the increasingly quiet passive signatures of these threats, the overall Figures of Merit of tactical and strategic surveillance systems have been improved. But as the resulting detection ranges and search volumes increase, so does the frequency and ...

  7. High Efficiency 808-nm VCSEL Arrays with Excellent Beam Quality

    SBC: nLight Photonics            Topic: N122112

    Today"s high energy Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers are often pumped by stacks of multiple edge-emitting diode laser bars since the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) traditionally have been lower in efficiency. In this effort we are proposing a novel VCSEL design which overcomes the efficiency bottleneck in conventional VCSEL while preserving its beneficial attributes such as uniform beam in ...

  8. Efficient, Cost-Effective, Low-Emissions Method to Cutting Nuclear Submarine and Aircraft Carrier Hulls

    SBC: BECK ENGINEERING, INC.            Topic: N123157

    The Navy needs a metal cutting system for submarine and aircraft carrier hull disposal. We propose to develop a Hull Cutting Mill (HCM) to meet Navy needs. Our HCM uses a compact high-speed high-power hydraulic milling head to perform slot-milling and achieve a fast lineal speed cutting high-tensile steel with a man-handle-able machine. Our HCM uses environmentally friendly water for its hydraulic ...

  9. Polarization insensitive diffraction grating for Navy tactical airborne high energy lasers (HEL) applications

    SBC: LightSmyth Technologies            Topic: N131017

    LightSmyth is a US based manufacturer of high power high efficiency polarization insensitive diffraction grating using unique, cost-efficient and high fidelity manufacturing technology. Gratings are etched into fused silica substrate and contain no organics or polymers. They may be as large as 150 mm in diameter with clear aperture up to 135 mm. LightSmyth is uniquely positioned to supply Navy wit ...

  10. Tethered VTOL Comms Relay Powered by Laser over Fiber

    SBC: LaserMotive, Inc.            Topic: N131039

    Analyze a tethered VTOL system capable of carrying and maintaining the required communications relay components to at least 500 feet AGL for up to four days continuously. The VTOL and comms relay package receive power delivered using laser power from the surface vehicle over fiber optic cable and converted into electricity on-board the VTOL craft via photovoltaics. Such a system is smaller, lighte ...
