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. Active Silicon Nanophotonics based on Photonic Crystal with Quantum Dots

    SBC: Altair Center, Llc.            Topic: AF04T013

    ALTAIR Center in cooperation with University of Rochester proposes to develop a new class of active nanophotonic devices based on quantum dots embedded into photonic crystal microstructures fabricated in silicon-on-insulator waveguides. Due to extremely strong nonlinear optical and electro-optical properties and extremely short switching times, the silicon-based photonic crystal microstructures wi ...

  2. Advanced Composites with Nanoscale Reinforcement

    SBC: Nanolab, Inc            Topic: AF04T020

    Advanced fiber composites are fabricated by automated 3D weaving and braiding processes. These weaving processes use tows of micron diameter fibers, to create preforms for resin infiltration. The interaction between the resin matrix and the fibers can be potentially increased by creating nanoscale features on the carbon fibers. NanoLab is expert in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes and their app ...

  4. Airborne Video Inspection for Automatic Targeting with Ontology Reasoning (AVIATOR)

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: AF18BT007

    Improved cameras and unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) have led to an explosion in the amount of airborne imagery and video collected by Air Force assets, but there are not enough trained personnel to analyze this imagery in real time. Thus, targets of opportunity and threats go undetected until the chance to act on them has passed. Automatic target detection could alleviate the burden on analysts and ...

  5. Automated Diagnosis of Usability Problems Using Statistical Computational Methods

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: AF03T001

    Poorly designed software and hardware systems are inconvenient at best; at worst, they are deadly. Usability evaluation techniques are designed to detect the potential for disasters and inefficiencies in poorly designed software. However, usability analyses are prone to failure due to conflicting usability frameworks, incomplete usability reports, and inadequate analysis tools. Aptima and the Ce ...

  6. BATTLE II: Battlefield Airmen Training Technologies for LVC, ground-based Environments

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: AF17AT011

    Effective Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) training methods have been underutilized within ground-based training operations. More specifically, Battlefield Airmen training has not adopted the recent advances in blended reality (BR) technologies into their training due to specialized training requirements. To address this issue, the Aptima team plans to continue develop on a training system kn ...

  7. Carbon Nanotube FET Modeling and RF circuits

    SBC: METIS DESIGN CORP            Topic: AF18BT006

    The computing demands of future data-intensive applications far exceed the capabilities of today’s electronics and cannot be met by isolated improvements in transistor technologies or integrated circuit (IC) architectures alone. Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistors (CNFET) technology has emerged as leading candidate for energy-efficient and high-performance digital systems. Unfortunatel ...

  8. Closed-Loop Extracranial Activation using Reinforcement-learning (CLEAR)

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: AF17BT002

    High workloads and operational pressures can degrade human analysts’ cognitive performance, jeopardizing their ability to carry out mission-critical tasks. To maximize the potential of human analysts, a method is required to enhance performance across a broad array of human analysts, tasks, and contexts. Real-time evaluation of cognitive state and novel technologies for closed-loop feedback ...

  9. Compact CMOS-Compatible Optical Transceiver

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: AF14AT13

    ABSTRACT: Close integration of photonic devices with silicon complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) electronics can yield significant performance improvements in many applications. The recent development of novel integrated structures in silicon including waveguides, resonators, and photodetectors will enable dramatic reductions in size, weight, and power for components implementing compl ...

  10. Control Center Fatigue Monitoring System

    SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC.            Topic: AF04T007

    Abstract: The nature of military operations requires around-the-clock operation. Consequently military personnel responsible for overseeing routine as well as battlefield activity must work at times outside the weekday, daytime hours common in many other occupations. Given the serious consequences for US defense strategy and the safety of US servicemen and women, it is imperative that control ce ...
