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. On-Orbit Object Acquisition: Autonomous Debris Capture / Autonomous Non-Cooperative Target Capture

    SBC: TARGET ARM INC            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    Target Arm proposes a feasibility study for developing Non-Cooperative Target Capture (NCTC) with a space-based adaptation from an Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Universal Launch and Recovery (ULaR) platform for debris/adversary micro-satellite capture. Ou

  4. RSO Collection and Processing Station Optimization Analysis

    SBC: KALL MORRIS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    To address the U.S. Space Force’s need for cost-effective active debris removal, Kall Morris Inc (KMI) is developing a deterministic optimization algorithm that provides the orbital parameters for an optimal collection point in which a processing space station could be placed. These parameters are vital to achieving widespread remediation of the orbital debris problem, as bringing multiple RSOs ...

  6. SLOW-JAMS: SLAM using Low-Power LiDAR and JAM Systems

    SBC: INTEGRAL & OPEN SYSTEMS, INC            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    Identification and Significance of the Innovation The US Space Force has identified a need to keep the space environment safe for US assets, requiring the ability to clear debris and derelict satellites in GPS-denied environments. Navigating orbital mechanics is a delicate dance during final approach and capture of a resident space object (RSO), especially in a GPS-denied environment. Simultaneous ...

  9. Improving Military Common Ground Interactions with Computational Model Alignment

    SBC: SOAR TECHNOLOGY INC            Topic: AF21BT002

    Human teams quickly communicate by referencing common ground, beliefs that team members share and know they share, to shortcut explicit statements and provide timely information. Partners can monitor for evidence of understanding during communication and take the other’s perspective, interactively aligning mental models. However, deployed human-machine teaming (HMT) agents do not use common grou ...

  10. Compact, Low-Cost THz Test System

    SBC: TeraMetrix, LLC            Topic: AF12BT08

    ABSTRACT: In this Phase I STTR project, we propose to demonstrate the feasibility of developing a low cost, compact, time-domain terahertz (TD-THz) spectrometer specifically for the characterization of semiconductor materials over a range of temperatures, electric fields, and magnetic fields. In phase I, we will configure fiber optic coupled TD-THz instrumentation to make measurements on a sampl ...
