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-Speed Thermal Imaging of In-Service TBC Blades

    SBC: ADVANCED FUEL RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: AF073057

    Ceramic thermal barrier coating (TBC) on first-stage turbine blades is a vital component of advanced engines under development for future military aircraft, protecting the metal alloy blades from the extreme combustion temperature in these high-performance engines. TBC must be proven as a reliable means to prevent blade failure but current engine development programs are hindered since there is no ...

  2. Conjugate Heat Transfer Analysis Capability for Gas Turbine Component Design

    SBC: AERODYNAMIC SOLUTIONS, INC.            Topic: AF073054

    Turbine performance increases through increasing turbine inlet gas temperature which can result in reduced turbine durability. Currently the design practices employed by the major OEM’s for cooled turbine airfoils are generally very empirical in nature and can easily miss important physical behavior thereby compromising airfoil durability. This in turn leads to turbine airfoil durability issues ...

  3. Real-time Passive Three-Dimensional (3-D) Imaging and Ranging

    SBC: BJ INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: AF06220

    We propose real time, compact hardware implementation and integration of sensors, algorithms, and processing hardware for extracting 3-D imagery and absolute range from visible and/or infrared (IR) images collected from small UAVs or situational awareness sensors. The proposed approach can be used for 3D structure reconstruction, scene interpretation, and 3D visualization. Sensor/ system will use ...

  4. High-Capacity Anode Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries

    SBC: Mobile Energy Products, Inc.            Topic: OSD08EP2

    The project focuses on the development of an improved capacity anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The target gravimetric capacity of 1,500 mAh / g is approximately a five-fold improvement versus current state of the art.

  5. Aerodynamic Characteristics of Missile Fragments Using a Digital Wind Tunnel

    SBC: Flow Parametrics, LLC            Topic: MDA07016

    Lift and drag characteristics of arbitray, irregularly shaped fragments will be computed using a combination of Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) method. Cartesian meshes will be generated for the shapes, and accurate lift and drag characteristics will be post-processed using the simulation data bases. Outputs will be in the form of tables that ca ...

  6. An Optically Switched Thyristor as a Thz pulse Source

    SBC: ODIS , Inc.            Topic: AF073004

    Sources and detectors in the range of 300-10,000 GHz pose a unique challenge to implementation as semiconductor devices. Transistor oscillators do not have the bandwidth to generate these frequencies/wavelengths and optical devices do not have energy gaps small enough to provide effective stimulated emission. Intersubband transitions do provide these energies. The quantum cascade structure (QCL) ...

  7. Photonic control technology for Phased Arrays

    SBC: ODIS , Inc.            Topic: MDA07038

    Phased arrays radars can expect considerable improvements with RF photonics. Current TR modules use numerous MMIC chips, ferrite circulators and phase shifters and quasi-optical true-time-delay (TTD). Transmission power distribution and synchronization across multiple RF interfaces can be improved. Large scale integration could address the problem of interconnecting boards with GHZ RF outputs but ...

  8. Hand-Held Raman Analyzer for Chemical Identification

    SBC: REAL-TIME ANALYZERS INC            Topic: CBD08102

    The overall goal of this proposed program (through Phase III) is to build a hand-held Raman analyzer that can perform non-contact identification of chemicals in the field. This will be accomplished by modifying a commercially available FT-Raman analyzer to employ 976 or 1064 nm laser excitation. Feasibility will be demonstrated in Phase I by comparing the ability of three Raman systems using las ...

  9. Micro-ignition Components for Heavy Fuel Engines

    SBC: PRECISION COMBUSTION, INC.            Topic: OSD08UM3

    Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) proposes a durable miniature catalytic glow plug as an enabling component for the use of heavy fuels in small, high power density engines for unmanned applications. The use of heavy fuels in such engines will have a major impact on availability of fuel supplies for such small engines while also reducing fuel consumption through the gains in efficiency inherent to ...

  10. Foil Bearing Supported Centrifugal Cathode Air Blower

    SBC: R&D Dynamics Corporation            Topic: OSD08EP3

    The proposed technology will reduce the size and weight of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) power systems for unmanned air vehicle and munition (UAV) applications thus making future UAV's lighter and more fuel efficient. In addition, the proposed technology will further enable the Air Force’s move toward more electric aircraft. The technological advance will have a spillover benefit to land and se ...
