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. Sub-aperture based EO imaging systems

    SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORP            Topic: AF08T021

    MZA proposes design, integration, testing, and simulation of electro-optical (EO) imaging and computer processing hardware for operating a phased array consisting of 7-12 subapertures. Our implementation of image processing on a graphics processor units (GPUs) for subaperture piston control will be upgraded and computer hardware will be built in Phase II to operate at control rates exceeding 1 kH ...

  2. Embedded Wire for Aircraft Applications

    SBC: MINNESOTA WIRE & CABLE CO            Topic: AF093006

    The state of wiring in aging aircraft has been an increasing concern in recent years. Wire deteriorates with age and environmental conditions, particularly inflight vibration, which causes wires chafing. Wire failures can result in aircraft downtime, higher maintenance costs, mission failure, and even an aircraft crash. Composite materials may present a unique solution to the aging wire problem. ...

  3. Canisterized Satellite Development for Operationally Responsive Space

    SBC: LOADPATH, LLC            Topic: AF093064

    Improving access to space is of particular importance to the Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) Office as it strives to quickly fulfill the needs of the warfighter. Typically, each spacecraft launch is treated as a unique mission requiring in-depth analyses, design, manufacturing, and integration, none of which answer the call for responsive space. While spacecraft are generally complex, uniqu ...

  4. Accelerated Reconnaissance Window Development

    SBC: Third Wave Systems, Inc.            Topic: AF093129

    Grinding is used to satisfy figure and finish requirements for optics, removing successive layers of material to ensure alleviation of any damage created from the prior operation. Consequently, fabrication times are slow and expensive. The optics manufacturing industry currently lacks physics-based models needed to understand the impact of process and material variables on final part quality and ...

  5. Fiber Laser Beam Combining

    SBC: LIBRATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT, INC.            Topic: AF083004

    In Phase-I of this work, a steady state model incorporating the most important nonlinear effects was successfully developed to analyze passive phasing of fiber amplifier arrays. This work showed a technique of reverse pumping to mitigate Four-Wave Mixing (FWM) and Cross-Phase Modulation (XPM) in fiber amplifiers. In Phase II we propose to extend the modeling developed in Phase-I to include time-de ...

  6. Innovative UAV-to-satellite communication link concepts using adaptive optics

    SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORP            Topic: AF083010

    An electronic beam steering system (EBS) using a stack of liquid crystal polarization gratings (LCPGs) will be tested in the laboratory for use in a bi-directional, 1.55 micron, laser communication system. A disturbance will be generated based on the predictions for aero-optics distortion for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The adaptive optics system will use a liquid crystal spatial light mod ...

  7. Closed-Loop Process Control for Electron Beam Direct Manufacturing

    SBC: B6 Sigma, Inc.            Topic: AF083069

    Electron Beam Direct Manufacturing (EBDM) has the potential to significantly reduce cost and lead times for such DoD systems as the F-35, if closed loop process control can be implemented. This effort outlines a pragmatic yet effective means of achieving this closed loop control, one that will expand the realm of applications for EBDM significantly. The approach described herein uses commercial ...

  8. Spatial-Temporal Control Applied to Atmospheric Adaptive Optics

    SBC: TAU TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: AF093010

    Our proposed approach is to generate a physics- and data-based characterization of the dominant spatio-temporal modes of the phase-perturbation due to the near-field turbulent environment of an aircraft-mounted turret-based system. This modal description will depend on view angle, and will be synchronized in flight, prior to engagement. The modes will represent the necessary corrections to a def ...

  9. Automated and Adaptive RF Effects Testing

    SBC: Farr Fields, LC            Topic: AF093013

    Testing electronics for vulnerability to radio frequency (RF) radiation is time-consuming, due to the large number of source variables of interest. One typically searches for the minimum electric field that causes upset, as a function of center frequency, pulse width, pulse repetition frequency, number of pulses, and bandwidth. It is impossible to test all combinations of all the variables, so one ...

  10. Spatial-Temporal Control Applied to Atmospheric Adaptive Optics

    SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORP            Topic: AF093010

    MZA proposes the development of linear-time-invariant predictive controllers for use in adaptive optics (AO) systems to reduce the degradation associated with finite wavefront sensor sample rate and latency. These predictive AO controllers will provide equivalent performance to fully-adaptive methods, but are simpler in design/operation and more transparent to users than adaptive control. We wil ...
