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. High-Performance Fuels

    SBC: Orbital Technologies Corporation            Topic: AF06194

    ORBITEC proposes to continue the development of high-performance fuels to replace monomethyl hydrazine (MMH) and other storable fuels for in-space propulsion applications. Compounds from various chemical families were proposed in Phase I to address these needs. These families of compounds have greater heats of formation, lower volatility, and lower toxicity than MMH. Their reduced vapor pressur ...

  3. High Energy Density and High Power Density Thermal Energy Storage

    SBC: Rocky Research            Topic: AF103163

    ABSTRACT: Thermal energy storage for load smoothing can be beneficial in applications having large transient heat load compared to steady-state heat rejection. Laser weapons and high-power microwave generators are examples where TES can help. Ammoniated complex compound systems can provide heat absorption due to exothermic dissociation of the complex compound. Very high energy density and powe ...

  4. Cooling Channel Diagnostic System (CCDS)

    SBC: Orbital Technologies Corporation            Topic: AF112185

    ABSTRACT: ORBITEC proposes to develop the Cooling Channel Diagnostic System (CCDS), a diagnostic tool for assessing the condition of rocket engine cooling channels. This system will be used to detect and locate any deposits which inhibit heat transfer between cooling channels and the hot-gas wall of the combustion chamber. The CCDS will detect and characterize any barriers to heat transfer whic ...

  5. High Performance Hybrid Cycle for Advanced Upper Stage Engines

    SBC: Orbital Technologies Corporation            Topic: AF121189

    ABSTRACT: ORBITEC proposes to develop a hybrid cycle to improve the overall performance and reduce the cost of advanced upper stage engines. Upper stage engines using the High Performance Hybrid Cycle (HPHC) will have the benefits of compact design, high thrust-to-weight, and high Isp. Once matured, such engines are expected to display low cost and high reliability. In Phase I, we will conduct ...

  6. Highly-Reliable, Radiation-Hard Laser Diode Active Materials

    SBC: Alfalight, Inc.            Topic: AF112056

    ABSTRACT: Quantum-dot gain medium in semiconductor lasers exhibit higher resistance to radiation induced damage. Irradiated diode lasers comprising quantum-dot gain medium demonstrated lasing two orders of magnitude beyond the maximum dose sustainable by quantum-well semiconductor lasers. These studies point to the strong potential for achieving a radiation resistant diode laser. Additionally, ...
