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. Ruggedized Radionuclide Particle Collection System

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: DTRA182006

    The detection of radionuclide aerosols is a critical indicator of a nuclear detonation. Current detection systems used in the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty’s  (CTBT) global monitoring network stations spend 24 hours collecting and concentrating particulates from the air to gather enough sample material for adequate detection sensitivity. This approach is inherently a batch process that ...

  2. A Broadband and Compact Dual Comb Spectrometer for Precise Field Detection of Trace Elements and Chemicals

    SBC: OPTICSLAH, LLC            Topic: DTRA20B003

    There is a growing need to accurately characterize nuclear materials not only for nuclear safeguards and nonproliferation treaty verification but also for forensics and provenance. At present, nuclear material identification requires samples to be collected and sent to laboratories for analysis using large and expensive equipment, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (ICP-MS) or s ...

  3. Efficient Machine Learning Algorithms for Information Fusion from Radiation Detectors

    SBC: XL SCIENTIFIC LLC            Topic: DTRA212006

    This proposal for Phase II in response to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) topic 212-006 “Algorithm that can locally link radiation detectors (of different resolutions) to enhance identification/ localization capability”. The topic describes the need for an algorithm to support the fusion of multiple and varied detector outputs into actionable information. The specific focus is to id ...

  4. Non-Destructive Cryogenic Wafer Mapper for Infrared Detector Material Screening

    SBC: 8D PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: MDA22D003

    Quality control tools for compound semiconductor operations are desired to provide cost and time savings. 8D Photonics (www.8Dphotonics.com) has been providing the infrared community with the capability to perform cryogenic wafer mapping of minority carrier lifetime and photoluminescence spectra since its inception in 2016. The 8D IR Pioneer wafer mapping system has already demonstrated cooling an ...

  5. High-Temperature, Pressure-Activated, Dynamic Seals for Solid Rocket Motors

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: MDA21011

    Future solid propulsion systems will require higher propellant burn temperatures to achieve improvements in impulse and thrust. We propose to continue development of our novel seal technology that will enable significant increases in temperature at the seal location. In Phase I, we proved the feasibility of our approach through analysis, prototyping, and proof‑of‑concept demonstrations. In Pha ...

  6. Jitter Reduction in Light Weight Beam Control Devices

    SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORP            Topic: MDA20010

    MZA is proposing to build on the Phase I work that leveraged both finite element modeling (FEM) and additive manufacturing (AM) to simultaneously reduce the size, weight and power (SWaP) and improve the jitter performance of optical mounts in directed energy (DE) systems. For Phase II, the design refinement strategy will be adapted to both mounts and structural assemblies in a quarter scale beam d ...

  7. Neuromorphic Sensor for Missile Defense

    SBC: TAU TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: MDA20T003

    Proposal seeks to build and test a Persistent wide field-of-view (FOV) infrared (IR) camera array for detecting and tracking dim objects. The optical design is based on the successful Tau PANDORA (visible) array systems, now in use for tracking low earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites. In Phase I, propose to collect daytime shortwave IR (SWIR) imagery on satellites with ...

  8. Modeling of High-Power Fiber Laser Performance

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: MDA19019

    Narrow line width fiber lasers have great potential for high-power directed energy applications. The beams of multiple fibers can be combined using spectral or coherent methods for scaling to high power levels. To successfully achieve goals of multi-kW fiber laser system scaling, accurate methods are needed to predict the performance of individual fibers and how their performance is affected by fi ...

  9. High L/D Hypersonic Radome Technology Demonstrator

    SBC: MENTIS SCIENCES INC            Topic: MDA15020

    Mentis Sciences Inc. (Mentis) proposes to design, develop, and fabricate a high lift to drag ratio (L/D), Dual band Radio Frequency/Infrared (RF/IR), radome assembly suitable for use as a technology demonstrator for hypersonic missile defense applications. The final deliverable will be a full scale RF radome with integrated IR transparent windows in a high L/D form factor. Material models will be ...

  10. A Compact and Fast Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) Spectroscopy System for Aerosol Combustion

    SBC: OPTICSLAH, LLC            Topic: DTRA182003

    We propose developing new instrumentation based on swept-wavelength external cavity quantum cascade lasers (swept-ECQCLs), to acquire physical/chemical data on chemical weapon agent (CWA) and simulant properties in laboratory-scale explosive testing, and to improve/validate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes. In Phase I, we demonstrated laboratory measurements of CWA simulant combustion usin ...
