The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. A Mass-Reducing End-Plugging Scheme for the Gasdynamic Mirror Propulsion System

    SBC: Advent Engineering Services, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    A very promising approach to a significant reduction of the mass of the gasdynamic mirror (GDM) fusion propulsion system is proposed. It makes use of field-reversal techniques whereby a rotating magnetic field is employed to induce an azimuthal current in the plasma, which in turn gives rise to the desired magnetic field at an appropriate plasma radius in the mirror region. This has the effect of ...

  2. Microwave Detection of Laser Ultrasonic for Non-Destructive Testing

    SBC: BOSSA NOVA TECHNOLOGIES, LLC            Topic: N/A

    In this proposal, we describe a program to demonstrate the technical feasibility of a high-performance, cost-effective and robust microwave receiver for the detection of laser-generated ultrasound for NDE. Our innovative receiver is based on the integration of a microwave interferometer coupled with a pulsed laser to generate the ultrasound. By using a microwave interferometer design we will be ab ...

  3. Lightweight Deformable Mirror Systems

    SBC: Boston Micromachines Corporation            Topic: N/A

    In this project, a lightweight membrane mirror device will be integrated into an adaptive control system, capable of correcting static and dynamic primary-mirror shape errors in a space-based telescope. The core innovation will be the use of a multi-zone, deformable mirror fabricated by thin-film surface micromachining. Contour shape of the mirror membrane will be controlled by an array of electro ...

  5. Brahms VE: A Collaborative Virtual Environment for Mission Operations, Planning and Scheduling

    SBC: DigitalSpace Corporation            Topic: N/A

    We propose to combine the proven Brahms multiagent work practice simulator and the DSpace1 3D thin client VR system to produce Brahms VE, a visual simulator used to improve human practices within a model of the work environment. The prototyping of the ALSEP deployment on Apollo XVI within Brahms VE should qualify this approach for a broader applications in simulation and training for fully autonom ...

  6. Carbon Sails for Gossamer Spacecraft Attitude Control

    SBC: Energy Science Laboratories, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    It is well known that light and other electromagnetic radiation can exert pressure on matter, which is the basis for photon sail propulsion. Less well known is that light can also exert controlled torque and in-plane tension on sails that have suitable electromagnetic properties. Although these effects are potentially effective aids to deployment and remote control of gossamer spacecraft, they hav ...

  7. A compact, UAV compatible, high-definition hyperspectral imaging system

    SBC: Flight Landata, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    The innovation is a compact, UAV compatible, high-definition hyperspectral imaging system. The system concurrently-acquires a hyperspectral image using a compact grating imaging spectrometer and a much-higher spatial resolution color photographic image using a portable, measurement-grade, high-definition CCD camera (2,000 x 1,312 pixel). The spectral resolution of the hyperspectral image is better ...

  8. Imaging and Analyzing Plant Stresses in the Ag-Ecology

    SBC: Growtech, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    The proposed R/R&D effort will obtain new improved, in situ measurements of vegetation using a computer-based fluorescence imaging system that images and processes the plant's cellular energy emissions to quantify and diagnose the plant's photosynthetic pathways. With multi-spectral bandwidths and image processing which increase the system's sensitivity, fluorescence-imaging diagnoses early plant ...

  10. Real-time Onboard and Remote Vehicle Health Management

    SBC: QUALTECH SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    We propose a real-time diagnosis, prognosis, and mission planning solution for complex systems. The proposed effort leverages QSI's real-time model-based diagnosis engine, TEAMS-RT, and UConn's expertise in the areas of signal processing, estimation and prognosis. The resultant solution will collect sensor data, process it, and assess system readiness in real-time. In the event of degradation or f ...
