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. ADAPT: Allocation of Dynamic Attention across People & Teams

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: AF06T003

    Effective task management is a critical component of mission success. As warfighters are given more information to monitor, however, their ability to detect and attend to critical information and tasks is stressed. An automatic task manager is needed to help ensure that responses to events occur in a timely manner. The foundation of such a tool is an accurate model of human dynamic attention. Many ...

  2. Innovative Selective Nanocatalysts in Hydrocarbon RBCC Systems

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: AF06T019

    Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) and Purdue University (PU) propose to synthesize, characterize, and investigate the efficiency, reactivity, and selectivity of new nanocatalysts in hydrocarbon fuel liquid for RBCC applications. The nanocatalysts will have higher surface area/volume compared to conventional microcatalysts and films, thereby leading to faster reaction rates. Decreased coking will occur ...

  3. Real-Time Resource Optimization of a UAV Network for Continuous Video Tracking

    SBC: Parietal Systems, Inc.            Topic: AF06T020

    Networks of UAV’s equipped with video sensors promise an affordable capability to keep track of moving ground targets of military interest in an urban environment in the presence of target occlusion, clutter, and other background traffic. But maintaining continuous track on multiple targets that move in and out of the field of view of any single UAV’s sensor poses a significant problem of cont ...

  4. Aided Navigation: Theory and Applications for Sensors and Architectures

    SBC: SCIENTIFIC SYSTEMS CO INC            Topic: AF06T032

    The coupling of GPS and INS is often characterized as loose, tight, or ultra-tight depending on the nature of the GPS input to the navigation filter. Thus, considering the challenge of precision navigation without GPS, this project will test and validate the coupling of sensor (EO, IR) information such as ego-motion and position updates similar to the coupling of a GPS and INS system. This proje ...

  5. Nanotube Transparent Electrodes for Nanomaterial Photovoltaics

    SBC: Eikos, Inc.            Topic: AF06T026

    Eikos Inc. and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory propose to develop nanomaterial transparent electrodes to enhance the efficiency of three junction solar cells. Eikos leads the world in developing transparent conductive electodes based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Branded as Invisicon®, our patented technology has already been successfully employed to improve solar cell performance. Eikos c ...

  6. Novel Experimental and Numerical Methods for the Aeromechanical Design of Flapping Wing Hovering MAVs

    SBC: CONTINUUM DYNAMICS INC            Topic: AF06T021

    Recent developments have made clear the strong potential of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) for a wide range of surveillance and tactical reconnaissance functions, particularly if the challenging but critical hovering capability can be achieved. Implementation of a practical hovering air vehicle at very small scales, however, requires breakthroughs in understanding of the complex flow environment of su ...

  7. Polymer-ceramic Nanocomposites for High Power Capacitors

    SBC: AGILTRON, INC.            Topic: AF06T002

    We propose to develop new polymer-ceramic nanoparticle composites for high power capacitors. The new approach combines the leading-edge nanomaterials development and manufacturing at Agiltron will transfer the high dielectric constant fillers to our new nanodielctrics with extremely improved breakdown strength and extensively lowered dielectric loss. We expect to fully overcome the problems of cu ...

  8. Novel Large, Flexible Light Emitting Arrays

    SBC: QD VISION, INC.            Topic: AF06T034

    It is proposed to develop a large area quantum dot light emitting devices to address the problem of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) signature management. Using photo detectors to modulate the color and intensity of incident light on opposing surfaces, flexible light emitting arrays can be actively tuned to make UAVs nearly invisible.

  9. CIFTS:Communications and Information Flow Tracking System

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: AF06T027

    Electronic text chat has become a primary medium of communication throughout the military over the past fifteen years. In organizations such as the Air and Space Operations Center’s Dynamic Targeting Cell (DTC), it is used extensively among team members as they collaboratively process information about time sensitive targets for prosecution. To assure the highest degree of performance, operators ...

  10. Adaptive Liquid Crystalline Elastomer Nanocomposites with a Unique Morphology

    SBC: NEI CORPORATION            Topic: AF06T017

    As part of the trend over the years of polymers replacing metals, substituting metallic wing skins with shape memory polymers (SMPs) that have excellent mechanical properties provides an opportunity to develop a new kind of morphing aircraft that can fulfil the needs of future military missions. Additionally, SMPs that can exert large recovery and regenerative stresses are needed for a broad range ...
