The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. Machine Intelligence for Space Weather (MINTS)

    SBC: NEXTGEN FEDERAL SYSTEMS LLC            Topic: 95

    NextGen Federal Systems (NextGen), a Small Business Concern (SBC), is excited to propose a powerful software package, coupled database, and a machine-learning (ML) workflow to support streamlined evaluation and research-to-operations (R2O) of space weather ML models and techniques. In response to the NOAA Effect of Space Weather subtopic (NOAA SBIR 9.5), we propose the Machine Intelligence for Spa ...

  2. Metasurface-coupled superlattices for LWIR imaging

    SBC: SIVANANTHAN LABORATORIES, INC.            Topic: MDA21T004

    Sivananthan Laboratories (SL) with the University of Iowa as the STTR partner, proposes to develop metasurface-coupled type II superlattice (T2SL) LWIR detectors that are predicted to outperform HgCdTe detectors. We developed in Phase I fundamental understanding of metasurface-coupled T2SLs, likely performance, and issues related to scaling up device structure to form arrays for LWIR imaging. In P ...

  3. Non-Destructive, Cryogenic 6-inch Wafer Level Screening and Measurement System of Infrared Detector materials

    SBC: EPIR, INC.            Topic: MDA22D003

    Sb-based III-V semiconductor Type-II superlattice (T2SL) materials with band structure-engineered device architectures are groundbreaking for infrared detectors and focal plane arrays (FPAs). T2SL FPAs have become very attractive candidates for various MDA/DOD sensor platforms including air, space, ships, and missiles. T2SL wafers, the starting materials of FPAs, are grown on large substrates usin ...

  4. Microwave Interferometric Measurements of Electron Density in Lasing Alkali-Rare Gas Mixtures

    SBC: CYGNUS PHOTONICS INC            Topic: MDA22T008

    The proposed program will design a microwave interferometer for the purpose of measuring the electron density and other fundamental parameters of Diode-Pumped Alkali Laser (DPAL) gain media. Although several models of the collisional chemistry of DPALs exist, benchmarking such models with experimental measurements has been hampered by the absence of experimental measurements of the electron densit ...

  5. AeroLite Sense: Atmospheric Aerosols and Particulates Observations from the Stratosphere

    SBC: STRATOSOLUTIONS INC            Topic: 91

    The long endurance “StratoSonde” lighter-than-air, uncrewed system combines a low-cost, 5day endurance StratoSonde supports up to 10 micro-dropsondes, which when released from the HAB, descend safely through the entire atmospheric column under a ribbon drogue while reporting observations directly back to the HAB. This project will assess the feasibility of integrating a disposable miniature ae ...

  6. Metasurface-coupled superlattices for LWIR imaging

    SBC: SIVANANTHAN LABORATORIES, INC.            Topic: MDA21T004

    Sivananthan Laboratories, Inc. with the University of Iowa proposes two major improvements to superlattice (SL) detector technology which are predicated to enhance the LWIR imaging performance comparable or better than HgCdTe-based detector performance. The performance of the current SL detectors is limited by the prevalence of native point defects (NPDs), thicker SL absorber region as required by ...

  7. Lightweight Structures for Future Interceptors

    SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY, LTD.            Topic: MDA18006

    Touchstone Research Laboratory proposes to develop fiber reinforced aluminum (FRA) metal matrix composite components to replace those that were originally made from Ti-6-4. It was proven that the FRA is able to outperform titanium at temperatures up to 1000°F. Given the increase in elevated temperature strength, the components may be made with reduced material usage, leading to weight savings. Ph ...

  8. Low Cost High Efficiency Cryocooler Cold Head

    SBC: CU AEROSPACE L.L.C.            Topic: MDA20005

    CU Aerospace (CUA) and team partner Lockheed Martin Space (LMS) propose to develop a low-cost and more efficient cryocooler cold head designed for 5 W cooling at 77 K, and to begin the process of certifying CUA’s innovative approach to provide CUA-built cold head subassemblies to LMS in order to reduce cryocooler costs. Materials and materials processing expertise at CUA will be used to investig ...

  9. Stratospheric HAPS for enhancing societal resilience to extreme weather

    SBC: STRATOSOLUTIONS INC            Topic: 94

    There is a clear need to improve weather forecasting accuracy. The greatest contributions to forecast uncertainty is a lack of meteorological observations over remote areas and areas experiencing pronounced convective activity. StratoSolutions’ new high-altitude balloon (HAB) platform with mini-dropsonde is a disruptive new uncrewed meteorological observation data source able to collect data at ...

  10. Multiscale Modeling of Radiation Events in Infrared Photodetectors

    SBC: SIVANANTHAN LABORATORIES, INC.            Topic: MDA22002

    Sivananthan Laboratories, Inc. (Sivananthan Labs) will create a multiscale model capable of predicting the immediate and long-term effects of radiation events in operating and dormant infrared (IR) photodetector devices. Although extensible to any IR gap semiconductor and device architecture, the model will initially be developed for and applied to mid-wavelength IR (MWIR) and long-wavelength IR ( ...
