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. Combustion Stability Innovations for Liquid Rocket Engines

    SBC: IN SPACE, L.L.C.            Topic: AF06T005

    While guidelines for stable combustion in certain engine cycles and propellant combinations exist; there is no proven, mechanistic predictive model, particularly for high-performance liquid hydrocarbon-fueled engines. IN Space and Purdue propose to fill this critical need by developing a “testbed” consisting of 1) a predictive combustion stability design tool to mitigate the risk of generating ...

  2. 3D Measurement for Aircraft Maintenance and Part Remanufacture

    SBC: PHOTON-X, INC.            Topic: AF05267

    Those responsible for maintaining the operational status of the aircraft of the United States Air Force face many difficult challenges in completing their mission. With an ever aging, and yet, ever more valuable inventory of older aircraft, the maintenance depots assigned their upkeep and readiness continually work to maximize flight time and minimize costs. As a result, many are looking to tech ...

  3. Advanced Multidisciplinary Tool for Dynamic Loads Analysis of Aerospace Vehicles

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF05318

    Aerospace vehicles that perform aggressive maneuvers are subject to several dynamic loads problems such as buffet and flutter. Unsteady computational aeroelastic simulations of these problems require careful attention to the physical modules of fluid and structures, as well as, to the fluid-structure interfacing and fluid-grid movement. In the Phase I study, a novel solid-brick analogy (SBA) was d ...

  4. Optimized Quantum Dot Superlattice Structures for Ultra-High Efficiency Photovoltaic Cells and Photodetectors

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF06T026

    Higher efficiency solar cells are needed to reduce solar-array mass, volume, and cost. In this project we propose to develop: (i) a concept of the novel quantum dot superlattice (QDS) solar cells, which are estimated to be more efficient and radiation tolerant than conventional multi-junction solar cells, (ii) new computational tools for the quantum-dot nanostructure optimization for the specific ...

  5. Novel Volume of Solid Technology for Nonlinear Aeroelastic Stability Analysis

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF06T016

    Morphing technology enables aerospace vehicles to achieve a broader range of operational modes. Computational aeroelastic and design analysis tools of these vehicles must be able to handle arbitrarily large deformations and shape changes. Innovative Volume of Solid technology is proposed to cast structure/body-dynamics equations in an Eulerian reference frame, preserving the order of accuracy of ...

  6. New Methods of Controlling Electron Kinetics and Plasma Chemistry in Pulsed Discharges of Electronegative Gases

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF06T038

    A number of modern technologies utilize unique properties of highly non-equilibrium plasmas produced by electric discharges in molecular gases. Electron kinetics and vibrationally excited molecules define key chemical reactions in these plasmas. The goal of this project is to utilize the non-local nature of electron kinetics to improve the performance of various plasma devices under pulsed power c ...

  7. Novel Stability Model and Flameholder Concept for Modern Augmentors

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF06T033

    Static stability is a major challenge for modern augmentors that feature close-coupled fuel injection/flameholders operating at low pressures and high inlet velocities, inlet temperatures and vitiation levels. Reduced dilatation and baroclinic vorticity effects at augmentor conditions cause large scale von Karman vortices to dominate the blowout event, in contrast to conventional bluffbody shear l ...

  8. An Integrated Laser Based Rocket Chamber Ignition and Wall Diagnostics System

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF05202

    CFDRC proposes the integration of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) with its maturing Laser Induced Spark (LIS) technology for rocket chamber and ultimately in-flight engine health monitoring. During Phase I CFDRC and the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) completed quantitative LIBS measurements of bi-propellant combustion equivalence ratio while simultaneously demonstrating ...

  9. Guidance Research

    SBC: TERNION CORPORATION            Topic: AF05159

    The focus of the Phase II effort is derived from both the successful development of the working ICET-AS prototype completed for the Phase I effort and an understanding of how this capability can be further enhanced to best serve the Air Force modeling and simulation community. Phase II will focus on solving the complex problem of developing a complete, end-to-end weapon design tool (WDT) prototy ...

  10. Non-Invasive Model Attitude and Deformation Measurement

    SBC: DMS TECHNOLOGY INC            Topic: AF06298

    The precision with which model attitude and deflection are measured in a wind tunnel is important for determining such quantities as drag coefficient, lift coefficient, moment coefficient and stability derivatives. The assumption that the wind tunnel model is a rigid body, which possesses no extra deflection under load, no flexing under dynamic loading is far from reality. Some of the techniques s ...
