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. ActiveApproach: On-orbit inspection of space-based targets

    SBC: VISION SYSTEMS INC            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    Accurate 3D models are vital for the inspection and characterization of orbiting spacecraft. 3D models of a target spacecraft can be generated from a set of images captured by an approaching platform, but the accuracy and completeness of the generated 3D model is highly dependent on the geometry of the captured viewpoints and illumination conditions; if navigation is planned without consideration ...

  2. Adaptation of fixture-less?extrusion machining technology for AF use

    SBC: FAIRMOUNT TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: AFX20DTCSO1

    XtruMach (XM) is a flow type CNC machining center that profiles, drills and thins extruded parts without part-specific holding fixtures.  Tooling avoidance will enable rapid organic manufacturing, improved depot productivity and increased asset availability. FT will work with WR-ALC and OC-ALC personnel to demonstrate the use of XM in the depots to machine airframe structural components.   OC- ...

  3. Advanced Analytic Sonic Boom Underwater Propagation Analysis

    SBC: MARINE ACOUSTICS INC            Topic: N/A

    Federal regulations require that USAF supersonic, subsonic and launch vehicle flight operations be assessed as to possible effects to the near-shore environment. Current modeling capability for this topic is lacking in key areas: reliability of results, environmental assessment requirements, field validation, biological nature of the receiver, and accounting for the key interface boundary condit ...

  4. Advanced Combat Simulation for More Effective Anti-Terrorist Operations

    SBC: DECISIVE POINT LLC            Topic: AF07T023

    Ongoing anti-terrorist and counter-insurgency operations in Iraq following the lightning conventional war of spring 2003 highlight the fact that war is seldom as simple or as quickly resolved as we expect-or hope-it to be. Even more importantly, they remind us that no enemy is truly beaten unless and until they accept that they are. Although the U.S. military succeeded in an impressively rapid and ...

  5. Advanced Low Cost Smart Missile Fin Technology Evaluation

    SBC: Barrett Aerospace Tech            Topic: N/A

    Three areas of research on low cost, reliable, folding aero surfaces will be conducted. First, different types of fin deployment and flight control actuators will be examined. These include conventional fin actuators, shape-memory-alloy, piezoelectric, magnetostrictive, and electrostrictive actuators. Second, different fin designs will be examined. These candidate designs are capable of flight con ...

  6. Advanced Munitions SAR/GMTI Payload

    SBC: Applied Radar, Inc.            Topic: AF203001

    SAR/GMTI payloads are required for advanced weapons. Applied Radar has developed a SAR/GMTI capability through its commercially-developed Attritable Lightweight Sensing & Targeting Radar (ALSTR) for Air Force SAR and GMTI applications. The ALSTR was recently demonstrated as an airborne SAR for the US Army at Eglin AFB, FL in July 2020. Under the proposed funding, the radar will be upgraded to meet ...

  7. Affordability-driven, Microwave Curing for Reversible Bonding of Composites

    SBC: AEROTECH ENGINEERING & RESEARCH CORP.            Topic: N/A

    Fastening and joining technology has lagged behind the progress that has been made in other areas of composites for advanced air vehicles. Aerotech proposes the development of reversible polymeric adhesive bonding of composites using variable frequency microwave energy. With this method, composites are bonded using Poly Ether Ether Ketone (a high temperature thermoplastic) which is cured using v ...

  8. AI/ML Techniques for ADS-B to Support Base Security and Defense

    SBC: KALSCOTT ENGINEERING INC.            Topic: AF20ATCSO1

    We are developing a low-cost, ad-hoc ground network of sensors to monitor air traffic around specific areas, for example, to support security and defense around air bases and other installations. This can be seen an air traffic monitoring system in a box, which can be rapidly deployed in an ad-hoc manner, both on the ground and on aerial (manned and unmanned) nodes. The system generates millions ...

  9. Airborne Detection of Spoofed ADS-B Reports

    SBC: KALSCOTT ENGINEERING INC.            Topic: AF093141

    The need for detection of spoofind of ADS-B messages in real-time in an organic manner is discussed. Details of previous experiments demonstrating such spoofing are presented. A novel method to detect such spoofing detection capability from an airborne platform, in real time are presented. The proposed Phase I effort includes modeling, and development of proof-of-concept hardware and software. Pha ...

  10. Airborne Detection of Spoofed ADS-B Reports

    SBC: KALSCOTT ENGINEERING INC.            Topic: AF093141

    Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) is an airspace surveillance system being implemented in the US and several nations globally. In this system, each aircraft determines its location using GPS, and broadcasts this to other local traffic and ground stations, along with other flight data (aircraft ID, speed, heading, flight number, altitude, etc). This endows local traffic with high s ...
