Award Data
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.

Bayesian Inference of Spacecraft Geometry and Pose
SBC: VISION SYSTEMS INC Topic: AF17AT007Space platforms are complex dynamical systems and there are many reasons to model them from ground telescope imagery as well as from space-based sensor platforms. One key motivation is to determine the operational state and configuration of the vehicle. Key questions such as did the solar panels fail to deploy, did the object begin to tumble unexpectedly may be addressed by a sufficiently detaile ...

High Strain Composite Testing Methodologies
SBC: MC Technologies LLC Topic: AF17AT019An innovative loading stage design based on the principle of eccentric loading is proposed for mechanical testing of thin composites to impart precise mixtures uniaxial and bending stresses. In contrast to alternative designs, the mechanism is fully compatible with advanced experimental techniques such as three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) strain measurements and in situ micro X- ...

Automated Warhead Classification
SBC: McQ Inc. Topic: AF161003ABSTRACT: The current procedures for ground based arena tests are time consuming and costly, while only producing a fraction of the desired data. In the current method, the device under test is surrounded by switch screens to record fragment impact time and bundles of foam insulation to capture fragments. Fragments must be recovered by hand to be weighed and measured, requiring weeks of labor. Thi ...

High-Efficiency Radiation-Hard Solar Array Interface to Spacecraft Power System
SBC: CUBIC AEROSPACE, LLC Topic: AF162007Electric orbit-raising offers significant advantages to GEO spacecraft users and operators. Electric propulsion decreases the required spacecraft fuel mass by as much as 90%, and enables the elimination of large tanks, thrusters, valves, and other propulsion subsystem components when a conventional hydrazine or bi-propellant system is not required. These optimizations can reduce the launch mass ...

Development and Feasibility Demonstration of an Automated Active Damper Sting
SBC: VIGYAN INC Topic: AF171008Unwanted vibration of heavy, sting-mounted, cantilevered models is an ongoing issue for wind tunnel facilities. Unsteady flow generated on models can result in vibration and oscillation of the model support system. Such vibration can result in compromised

Orbit Passive Estimation by an RF Array (OPERA)
SBC: EXPEDITION TECHNOLOGY, INC. Topic: AF171026Expedition Technology and Applied Defense Solutions propose OPERA, a passive, distributed antenna array to achieve an autonomous, 24/7 LEO and GEO satellite RF tracking and fingerprinting capability for a recurring price less than $500K. A distributed ant
