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. Fiber-based, high peak power mid-infrared source

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: AF071005

    Tactical laser sources delivering high peak power (from multi-MW to TW) in agile optical pulse trains at high pulse repetition frequency (PRF) in the 3.5-4 µm wavelength region are of interest for several military applications including proactive infrared countermeasures (PIRCM), non-lethal munitions, and remote sensing of battlefield threats. To meet the needs for future tactical lasers, Aculig ...

  2. Radio Frequency/Microwave Hazard Assessment Tool (RHAZ)

    SBC: MOBILISA, INC.            Topic: AF071042

    Mobilisa proposes the creation of a tool which runs on a standard PC and provides users with a straightforward and standardized way of detecting and evaluating safety hazards in test and operational scenarios; similar in scope to the current Integrated Laser Hazard Assessment (LHAZ) program. The implementation will be based on our AIRchitect® software, an RF design tool based on ray-tracing techn ...

  4. Low Cost Precision Waterjet Machining of Grid Fins

    SBC: Ormond, LLC            Topic: AF071151

    Novel waterjet machining techniques are proposed to reduce the costs of grid fin manufacturing by 80% over conventional waterjets. Waterjets are well suited to the task of machining fins because they are a cold cutting process that will not cause thermal damage to the thin webs, they can achieve the tight tolerances and small corner radii and can be used on a wide range of candidate materials. The ...

  5. Improved magneto-optic methods for aircraft corrosion detection

    SBC: Quest Integrated, LLC            Topic: AF073118

    Aircraft undergo constant routine inspection in order to maintain airworthiness. Subsurface corrosion and metal fatigue in airframes which goes undetected can have tragic consequences. The QUEST proprietary magneto-optic imager (MOI) is a non-destructive technique which is currently used by the Air Force, NASA and commercial clients for subsurface flaw detection with better performance than tradit ...

  7. Ceramic Microthruster Clusters for Nano- and Microsatellites

    SBC: SIENNA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: AF081061

    In this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, a high throughput chemical micropropulsion system for nano- and microsatellites will be developed. The microthruster will use an all-ceramic construction to withstand the high temperatures associated with the high Isp, clean burning, high-energy-density, non-toxic liquid monopropellant. The developed high throughput propulsion system wil ...

  8. A QoS Plan for IP-based Data Sharing Between the GIG and SWIM

    SBC: TOPIA TECHNOLOGY, INC.            Topic: AF081028

    A QoS Plan (QoS-P) uses networking resources intelligently and dynamically, rather than using a hardware surfeit to achieve similar results. As more real-time applications are deployed in an IP setting, implementations of historical IP “best efforts” QoS do not suffice—in an IP-based network, especially one employing TCP, a QoS-P cannot simply emphasize control of the topological path and t ...

  9. Damage Detection and Identification in Advanced Composites

    SBC: Vista Engineering Technologies, Inc.            Topic: AF073117

    Vista Engineering Technologies will develop, validate, and deliver a fully automated, real-time, computer-based, portable IR system for making a pass-fail decision about the location and extent of damage to composite aerospace structures that improves upon existing methods in terms of speed, accuracy, and cost. An engineering prototype of the system will be demonstrated on both test articles prov ...

  10. Electrodeless Lorentz Force Thruster for High-Power Propulsion

    SBC: MSNW LLC            Topic: AF06T001

    The Electrodeless Lorentz Force (ELF) Thruster is a new propulsion device designed to operate at the highest jet powers, well beyond the currently developed electric propulsion thrusters. Based on recent laboratory results on the formation and acceleration of magnetized plasmoids, the goal of the proposed research is to build and test a prototype that has the potential to surpass all current elect ...
