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. Non-Destructive Cryogenic Wafer Mapper for Infrared Detector Material Screening

    SBC: 8D PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: MDA22D003

    Quality control tools for compound semiconductor operations are desired to provide cost and time savings. 8D Photonics (www.8Dphotonics.com) has been providing the infrared community with the capability to perform cryogenic wafer mapping of minority carrier lifetime and photoluminescence spectra since its inception in 2016. The 8D IR Pioneer wafer mapping system has already demonstrated cooling an ...

  2. A Broadband and High Precision Comb Spectrometer for Diode-Pumped Alkali Lasers (DPALs)

    SBC: OPTICSLAH, LLC            Topic: MDA22T008

    Diode-pumped alkali lasers (DPALs) have inherently high optical-to-optical efficiency and thus the potential to reach megawatt-class average power lasers with near-diffraction limited beam quality. However, as DPALs scale up in power, a plasma is formed in the gain medium, resulting in lower efficiency and increased gas heating. This ultimately leads to a degradation in laser beam quality and a po ...

  3. Surrogate Models to Accelerate High-Fidelity Physics Based Simulation

    SBC: STELLAR SCIENCE LTD. CO.            Topic: MDA22T003

    The MDA has identified a need for decreasing the time required for simulations and rendering by orders of magnitude. To address this need, Stellar Science and the University of New Mexico (UNM) propose the development and use of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), which have been shown to reduce execution times dramatically while still maintaining small errors compared to traditional physics ...

  4. Neuromorphic Sensor for Missile Defense

    SBC: TAU TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: MDA20T003

    Proposal seeks to build and test a Persistent wide field-of-view (FOV) infrared (IR) camera array for detecting and tracking dim objects. The optical design is based on the successful Tau PANDORA (visible) array systems, now in use for tracking low earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites. In Phase I, propose to collect daytime shortwave IR (SWIR) imagery on satellites with ...

  5. Jitter Reduction in Light Weight Beam Control Devices

    SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORP            Topic: MDA20010

    MZA is proposing to build on the Phase I work that leveraged both finite element modeling (FEM) and additive manufacturing (AM) to simultaneously reduce the size, weight and power (SWaP) and improve the jitter performance of optical mounts in directed energy (DE) systems. For Phase II, the design refinement strategy will be adapted to both mounts and structural assemblies in a quarter scale beam d ...

  9. Infrared Optical Array (IOA)

    SBC: TAU TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: MDA20T003

    We propose two innovative improvements to sensor systems for early detection and tracking. First, develop inexpensive, persistent, infrared optical arrays, using modern optical array sensors and their signal processing systems. The proposed prototype IOA is based on the two operating PANDORA (Persistent And Optically Redundant Array) Tau visible arrays. Second, The Tau tracking optical arrays util ...

  10. Jitter Reduction in Light Weight Beam Control Devices

    SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORP            Topic: MDA20010

    MZA is proposing to use both system and component level finite element modeling along with rapid prototyping enabled by additive manufacturing (AM) to iteratively design and test low SWaP optical mounts that passively isolate jitter. Each directed energy system has its own unique jitter challenges, and by developing a process to tune optical mount performance to its jitter environment, jitter can ...
