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. Development of a Compact Laser for Damage Detection and the Laser Bond Inspection (LBI) Process

    SBC: LSP Technologies, Inc.            Topic: AF04133

    To reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency, composites are being used in aircraft construction at an accelerating rate. The presence of material defects in these composite structures can lead to disastrous failure under flight loads. Many classes of these defective regions are undetectable by conventional NDI techniques such as ultrasonic probing. A revolutionary new inspection technology inv ...

  2. Crashworthy Ballistic Tolerant Fuel Tank Weight Reduction

    SBC: MATERIALS ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES CORP.            Topic: A04091

    The pressure to reduce weight and maintain performance and safety is a significant driver in aviation technology development programs. Fuel and fuel systems are major contributors to weight on aircraft, including fuel cells, fittings, access panels and support structures. The design of the fuel cell is dictated by requirements to integrate the fuel cell into the aircraft structure, facilitate acc ...

  6. Modeling and Simulation for the Accelerated Development of Materials

    SBC: UES INC            Topic: AF04155

    The proliferation of lasers in industrial and military applications requires R&D for materials to protect against accidental and adversarial exposure to personnel and equipment. However, new and improved materials development is time consuming and evolutionary, and hence it is essential to develop a predictive modeling and simulation approach that will lead to accelerated design. Realistic mater ...

  8. Development of Laser Peening for Hidden Surfaces

    SBC: LSP Technologies, Inc.            Topic: AF00197

    In most gas turbine engines, the blades are held in rotating disks by a dovetail attachment that fits into a matching slot in the rim of the disk. The contact area between the blade dovetail and the dovetail slot is subjected to vibration and high stresses, leading to fretting conditions. Eventually, fretting fatigue cracks initiate in the fretting area and propagate into the disk and/or dovetai ...

  9. A Novel, Biologically Inspired Multi-mode MAV

    SBC: ORBITAL RESEARCH INC            Topic: AF04177

    The role of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) in the future battlespace is projected to increase tremendously in the immediate future. Currently, viable mission scenarios for MAVs are constrained by their limited size and flight dynamics. MAVs have difficulty maintaining constant surveillance as they must remain in constant motion to stay aloft and hence may not be able to provide constant target survei ...
