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. Alignment Tolerant Components for Robust Optic Signal Distribution

    SBC: ULTRA COMMUNICATIONS, INC.            Topic: AF093003

    We investigate methods of routing optical signals for flight control from board-to-board and board-to-box for avionic systems. We are developing a method for organizing optical signals on robust substrates that simplifies the optical cabling between the board and box. We plan to investigate the used of miniature, ruggedized optical components that allow optical coupling between boards with high ...

  2. Technologies for Cost-Effective Mixed-Criticality Flight Control Systems

    SBC: REAL-TIME INNOVATIONS, INC.            Topic: AF093005

    UAVs must also operate over civilian populations; this imposes strict safety requirements. Traditionally, developers verify and validate entire software systems as a whole. This ensures that a problem in a non-critical component does not impact a safety-critical component. Unfortunately, testing the entire system is cost prohibitive, especially since it requires retesting when there is any chan ...

  3. Microscale Ordnance Technologies for Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs)

    SBC: REYNOLDS SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: AF093103

    As urban warfare tactics become increasingly discriminatory, the need for highly miniaturized and accurate weapon delivery systems has increased. Smaller warheads delivered on target using smaller delivery vehicles with little or no collateral damage are becoming increasingly important to the war fighter. The main objective of this phase I effort is to create two versions of a micro miniature war ...

  4. Robust Optic Signal Distribution within Enclosures for Aerospace Applications

    SBC: Nanoprecision Products, Inc.            Topic: AF093003

    nanoPrecision Products Inc. proposes to develop a complete and fundamentally new connection system for electro-optical avionic systems. nPP’s connection system will be compatible with the VME bus open architecture, and will hence enable fly-by-light (FBL) guidance and control systems. The connection system will use metallic ferrules that are robust, field maintainable, and immune to electro mag ...

  5. Novel Algorithm/Hardware Partnerships for Real-Time Nonlinear Control

    SBC: Elissar, LLC            Topic: AF09BT06

    The growing complexity of future military systems demands the development of high-performance nonlinear control algorithms. The goal of this proposal is to develop a specially designed software/hardware architecture to enable real-time autonomous closed-loop control of nonlinear high-dimensional dynamical systems. Following the recent success of pseudospectral (PS) computational control methods in ...

  6. Flexible Covershield for Thin Film Solar Arrays (PDRT09-031)

    SBC: VANGUARD SPACE TECHNOLOGIES, INC            Topic: AF093092

    DR Technologies, Inc. will begin development of a flexible covershield material capable of protecting thin film solar cells from space environments including ionizing radiation, atomic oxygen, humidity, and high voltage discharge. The covershield will be designed to maximize EOL power output after 5 years in LEO and 15 years in GEO. Phase I work will focus on two specific technology advancements ...

  7. Nanosilicon Explosive Device for Micro Air Vehicles

    SBC: Physical Optics Corporation            Topic: AF093103

    To address the Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate need for microscale technologies for ultra-small, low collateral damage ordnance packages to be used in Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Nanosilicon Explosive Device for Micro Air Vehicles (NOVEL). This proposed device is based on porous silicon structures filled with oxidizer. ...

  8. Micro Seeker Technology

    SBC: Arete Associates            Topic: AF093107

    Micro-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are among the newest class of UAVs that have been added for deployment at the squadron level, these systems typically have a less than one pound payload and are remotely controlled through a joystick, a hobbyist style RC controller, or simple computer interface. In addition to a direct piloting mode most systems provide the capability for waypoint navigation ...

  9. A Unique Focal Plane Array Detector for THz and MM Wave Imaging

    SBC: INTELLIGENT OPTICAL SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: AF09BT33

    Detecting explosives and weapons under clothing or in hand carried packages, and imaging terrain and objects through fog and smoke are two high-priority needs that can be met using light in the Terahertz frequency range. However, to image concealed threats, and aid in navigation in fog and smoke, a practical, low cost THz camera is needed. Intelligent Optical Systems (IOS) in collaboration with Re ...
