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. Multi-cell X-ray target with energy recuperation

    SBC: RADIABEAM TECHNOLOGIES, LLC            Topic: HR0011ST2023D01

    Food irradiation technology has attracted more attention in the past decade given that it can provide a sustainable solution on how to address pathogen contamination in food. X-ray irradiation has several advantages compared to other irradiation technologies including superior penetrating quality compared to electron beams, and considerably larger dose rate compared to gamma rays. However, the low ...

  2. Team Oriented Resource Management and Control (TORMAC)

    SBC: Perceptronics Solutions, Inc.            Topic: HR001121S000725

    This proposal is for a Team Oriented Resource Management and Control (TORMAC) solution to the problem of distributed decision-making for resource constrained platforms in complex environments. As autonomous unmanned vehicles (UXV), sensor and manned vehicle capabilities have proliferated, it is more important to find ways of coordinating these assets towards common objectives in an evolving, commu ...

  3. High-Flux Receiver Optics for Safe Power Beaming

    SBC: GLINT PHOTONICS, INC.            Topic: HR001121S000729

    Optical power beaming systems have the potential to revolutionize energy supply for airborne military platforms, allowing networks of unmanned aircraft to operate aloft indefinitely.  To ensure safe and efficient optical power transfer, receiving optics must be designed to provide rigorous photon containment.  Stray reflections and scattered light must be minimized in order to ensure safety fo ...

  4. High Efficiency kW-class 1550 nm Steerable Diffraction-Limited Laser Diode Arrays for Energy Web Dominance

    SBC: FREEDOM PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: HR001121S000729

    DARPA and the US Department of Defense are interested in technologies which can enable a wireless energy web comprising multiple nodes to enhance military capabilities.  Wireless power transmission is difficult to scale to relevant powers and distances due to poor system efficiency.  For example, as transmission distances increase there is a severe reduction in system efficiency; at distances of ...

  5. R&D Automated Profit Incentive Determination “RAPID”

    SBC: SpendLogic, LP            Topic: HR001121S000706

    Page 2 of 2 The Department of Defense (DoD) must negotiate profit that is fair and reasonable to both the Buyer and the Seller. The DoD relies on profit to both attract the investment capital of innovative contractors and provide an incentive to perform efficiently. It relies heavily on the concept that the relationship between profit and risk should be proportional. At first, this seems to be a t ...

  6. Algorithm Performance Evaluation with Low Sample Size

    SBC: SIGNATURE RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: NGA20C001

    The team of Signature Research, Inc. and Michigan Technological University will develop and demonstrate methods and metrics to evaluate the performance of machine learning-based computer vision algorithms with low numbers of samples of labeled EO imagery. We will use the existing xView panchromatic dataset to demonstrate a proof-of-concept set of tools. If successful, in Phase II, we will extend t ...

  7. Thermal Emission Control using Photonic Crystals

    SBC: PSQUAREDT LLC            Topic: HR001120S001925

    To achieve the requisite fast, dynamic thermal switching times, we postulate the use of a Photonic Crystal (PC) filament operating at l=1-2mm. Our electrically biased PC design will be super thin to allow for fast on-off intensity-switching. It will have a small thermal mass and exhibit laser-like input-output characteristics, i.e. “Planck laser”. We will provide a theoretical framework for ou ...

  8. Effects of RF and Geomagnetic Fields on pilot performance, implicit behavior, sensory perception, and cognition

    SBC: APPLIED PHYSICS SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: HR001120S001918

    Spatial disorientation errors in pilots of both civilian and military persuasion have plagued aviation for over 100 years.  This persistence suggests that the disruption of a subconscious orientational system might be partially at fault, influencing pilot decisions that lead to these often-fatal errors.  Our collaborators at Caltech recently discovered that alpha waves in the human brain respond ...

  9. Cockpit Electromagnetic Radiation Testing And INterpretation (CERTAIN)

    SBC: TRIPLE RING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: HR001120S001918

    There is potential for intense, pulsed and non-uniform electromagnetic fields (EMFs) to exist within DoD tactical aircraft, and the potential for such EMFs to degrade pilot performance and lead to serious mishaps including loss of life. Proposers will begin with a methodical study of the actual EMF environments in the cockpits of representative aircraft to establish nature of any extreme fields pr ...

  10. Trust Worthy Information Storage Technology Enhanced Devices (TWISTED)

    SBC: Msb Associates            Topic: HR001120S001920

    Memory sticks are a convenient mechanism for portable data storage and transfer. Unfortunately, the embedded microcontroller required to present raw flash as a USB peripheral exposes an attack surface that can enable privilege escalation on a host computer even in the presence of tamper-resistant device designs, data encryption, and host protections such as anti-virus software. We propose Twi ...
