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. Porous Hybrid Composite for Enhanced Thermal Protection Systems (ComTPS)

    SBC: NEXTGEN AERONAUTICS, INC.            Topic: AF10BT27

    ABSTRACT: The proposed research will demonstrate feasibility of a high temperature insulating, load bearing thermal protection system (TPS) using a hybrid composite technology. This program will incorporate a hierarchically porous ceramic core material in a sandwich structure with a conventional polymer matrix composite (PMC) and ceramic matrix composite (CMC) to fabricate an enhanced TPS. This m ...

  2. Hybrid Composite Porous Structural Insulators

    SBC: ULTRAMET            Topic: AF10BT27

    ABSTRACT: Future Air Force as well as other DoD and NASA missions require structural composites capable of enduring peak hot surface temperatures of 3000 degrees F or higher while providing cold face temperatures of 600 degrees F or lower to prevent damage to underlying structures and components. Potential missions that would benefit from or be enabled by materials and structures with such capabi ...

  6. 3D nondestructive imaging techniques for mesoscale damage analysis of composite materials

    SBC: NEXTGEN AERONAUTICS, INC.            Topic: AF11BT04

    ABSTRACT: Energetic materials may be subjected to severe environments of pressure and shear loading, causing damage that leads to premature initiation or suboptimal performance. This damage is at the mesoscale, at and below the grain size of the particles, in the range of 5-400 microns. X-ray computed microtomography is a 3D non-destructive technique that can be used for imaging this damage. It e ...

  7. 3-D nondestructive imaging techniques for mesoscale damage analysis of composite materials

    SBC: L J ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY            Topic: AF11BT04

    ABSTRACT: The main issue with the development of a reliable constitutive model for explosive materials and concretes is the lack of a fundamental understanding of the evolution of 3-D microstructure and damage in these materials when they are subjected to multi-axial loading under confinement conditions. The main technical challenges are determining the 3-D microstructure and damage evolution pro ...

  8. Printable Integrated Photonic Devices

    SBC: Abeam Technologies Inc.            Topic: AF11BT05

    ABSTRACT: aBeam Technologies, Inc. proposes a new printing technology for fabricating photonic devices. This nanofabrication process could potentially reduce to a single step, the fabrication of photonic crystals by direct imprinting on inorganic materials. The method is low cost and suitable for large-scale areas. The demonstration of feasibility of the method will provide the basis for fabricat ...

  9. Innovative Electric Propulsion Technology for Responsive Space

    SBC: RADIABEAM TECHNOLOGIES, LLC            Topic: AF11BT10

    ABSTRACT: A Multi-Newton plasma thruster accelerating its propellant without the endurance limitations imposed by electrodes is proposed. The core mechanism combines electron-cyclotron resonant ionization in a microwave cavity with combinational coupling, magnetic confinement, magnetic mirrors, and a magnetic nozzle. The basic concept provides high plasma density at high power cm-mm waves and ver ...

  10. Joint Transport and Routing Optimization for Adaptive Satellite Networks

    SBC: UTOPIACOMPRESSION,CORPORATION            Topic: AF11BT12

    ABSTRACT: Efficient routing strategies combined with robust transport protocols are paramount in new generations of satellite networks which encompass diverse constellations located at different orbits. Compared to older bent pipe satellite systems with no onboard IP routing and processing schemes, the newer generations offer a lot more flexibility. Accordingly, the impact of cross-layer approach ...
