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. Validation of Low Hydrogen Embrittlement (LHE) Alkaline Zinc Nickel Electroplating for Steel and Aluminum Electrical Connectors, Back-Shells and Components

    SBC: ENGINEERING AND SOFTWARE SYSTEM SOLUTIONS, INC.            Topic: AF161007

    Many of the US Department of Defense (DOD) electrical connectors, back-shells and components currently contain cadmium (Cd).Cadmium is a known carcinogen.Furthermore, the cadmium is typically conversion coated with a hex-chromate which is also hazardous.Both the cadmium plating process and its subsequent conversion coating have been proven to be toxic (unlike other processes such as chromium plati ...

  4. Highly Parallel LIDAR-based Automated Target Recognition

    SBC: Physical Optics Corporation            Topic: AF161139

    To address the Air Force need for an automated target recognition (ATR) capability that uses Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to advance the development of the Highly Parallel LIDAR-based Automated Target Recognition (PLATR) system, which was proven feasible in Phase I. PLATR is based on an innovative combination of target isolation, target pose estim ...

  6. Repurposed Software Programmable Radio Technology to Support Flexible Missile Uplink/Downlink Implementations

    SBC: Space Micro Inc.            Topic: A16078

    Space Micro's uLINK ("micro-LINK") SDR system is a robust missile data link radio inserted in existing Army hardware to satisfy the multi-mission demands of the IFPC-inc2 requirements. Based upon the robust DCT software defined radio, and interfacing existing RF and antennae hardware, we have shown that we can operate and is as a legacy data-link for initial integration, and as a tri-band (S, C, a ...

  7. Development of Cad Plating Replacement with Zinc Nickel on High Strength Steel Components

    SBC: ENGINEERING AND SOFTWARE SYSTEM SOLUTIONS, INC.            Topic: AF071320

    In 2010, ES3/USAF qualified LHE Zn-Ni electroplating process to replace cadmium plating on Landing Gear components. Hill AFB implemented an LHE Zn-Ni plating line in 2013 to replace all cadmium plated components with follow-on plans to terminate all cadmium plating. The F-16 has many components that are coated with cadmiuma known carcinogen. The F-16 Program office has identified the wing attachme ...

  9. Near-Surface Residual Stress Measurements for Aerospace Structures

    SBC: HILL ENGINEERING LLC            Topic: AF121112

    It is widely recognized that near surface residual stresses play a significant role in fatigue performance. Tensile residual stresses are of concern because they accelerate fatigue crack initiation and fatigue crack growth relative to what would occur in the absence of residual stress. Compressive residual stresses, on the other hand, have the opposite effect and can be used to improve fatigue per ...

  10. Multi-aperture Sensors for High Speed Weapon Applications

    SBC: SPECTRAL IMAGING LABORATORY            Topic: AF131099

    The U.S. Air Force has a need to develop a new forward looking infrared imaging system that can actively mitigate thermal loading associated with munitions flight speeds greater than Mach 5.Excessive thermal loading causes the viewing domes to emit a high background radiance, which saturates the sensor and reduces the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) below the level required for reliable targeting, gui ...
