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. Low Temperature Limits for Gas Turbine Engine Oils

    SBC: ADIABATICS INC            Topic: AF071106

    Viscosity and low temperature lubricant characteristics determine turbine engine starting capability, and lubricant motion with respect to the contact surfaces at low ambient temperature. Such low ambient temperatures influence the oil viscosity and also the variation of its curve shape versus the temperature. According to the aforementioned research method, the requirements for accuracy and rel ...

  2. V- Band Radio Frequency (RF) Filters

    SBC: A. BROWN DESIGN            Topic: AF071222

    This proposal details the feasibility, design, implementation, risk mitigation, and plan for construction of prototype millimeter-wave, electronically tunable filters. Such a technology can achieve near fixed frequency filter performance while tuning over a respectable bandwidth enabling applications to take advantage of reduced size, weight, and potentially additional bandwidth.

  3. Bismuth Hall Thruster Plume Impact Study

    SBC: Aerophysics, Inc.            Topic: AF081062

    Because of its condensable nature Bi may cause unacceptable spacecraft contamination when used as a Hall thruster propellant. Experiments are proposed to determine the potential for bismuth deposition on spacecraft surfaces. The proposing team’s extensive experience with bismuth technology has uncovered surprising bismuth/surface interaction kinetics that will greatly complicate deposition mea ...

  4. Semi-autonomous Local Space Imaging System

    SBC: Aerophysics, Inc.            Topic: AF071293

    The Local Space Imaging System (LSIS) proposed here will be capable of continuous, autonomous situational awareness of the local space about a high-value host spacecraft with minimal impact to the host. The LSIS can independently determine instrument inertial attitude and bring a high-resolution imager to bear on a hemispherical field-of-regard. Innovative image processing algorithms will be use ...

  6. HyPASS- Hypersonic Plasma Adaptive Sensor System

    SBC: Electrodynamic Applications Inc            Topic: AF071228

    The plasma generated around low altitude hypersonic vehicles is a serious impediment to vehicle communications, particularly GPS navigation signal reception. This problem has introduced a critical path failure and potential showstopper for the hypersonic cruise missile program. The HyPASS system will simultaneously decrease the signal loss due to the plasma in such a vehicle and provide important ...

  8. Experimental Characterization of Particle Dynamics Within Solid Rocket Motors

    SBC: En'urga Inc.            Topic: AF081067

    This Phase I project will evaluate the feasibility of high-speed microscopic imaging and statistical correlation velocimetry to determine the particle size and velocity in solid rocket motors. Statistical correlation velocimetry relies on obtaining an ensemble of high-speed videos of turbulent flows (both reacting and non-reacting). These videos are analyzed using a statistical correlation techn ...

  10. Variable Thrust, Multiple Start Hybrid Motor Solutions for Missile and Space Applications

    SBC: IN SPACE, L.L.C.            Topic: OSD08PR3

    Energy management in missile systems can provide substantial performance advantages, especially for modern missiles capable of all-aspect engagements. Maximum flexibility is offered by a system that can be throttled, shut off entirely and restarted when needed. The proposed project aims to achieve efficient combustion during throttling and restart capability without the need for a separate ignit ...
