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. ROIC for Hybrid, Coherent and Direct-Detect Flash Ladar Receivers

    SBC: Aerius Photonics, LLC.            Topic: MDA08T004

    Development efforts for hybrid Flash Ladar receivers are underway, however a common limitation is the lack of an appropriate Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC) to amplify and condition the hybrid Flash Ladar signals. Though Flash Ladar ROICs exist for direct-detect mode and concepts are under development for coherent mode, due to the relative immaturity of the hybrid-mode approach, hybrid-mode ROIC ...

  2. Integrated Thermal Management and Wafer-Scale Packaging for High-Power VCSEL Diode Pump Arrays

    SBC: Aerius Photonics, LLC.            Topic: MDA08T011

    The performance of diode pumped solid state lasers (DPSSLs) is often limited by the performance of the diode laser arrays used to pump the crystal. Of the components making up the DPSSL module, the diode laser arrays consume the most power, dissipate the most waste heat per unit area and are among the most costly to manufacture and qualify. The performance of the diode laser pump array is limite ...

  3. Super Pixel Focal Plane Array Sensor

    SBC: CYAN SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: MDA08T004

    This SuperPixel FPA (SFPA) will achieve a fast track enhancement of existing technology that effectively allows improved detection and discrimination of existing and emerging threats. Cyan is working with Research Triangle Institute, who has recently developed and demonstrated Lead Tin Telluride (PbSnTe) detectors for high temperature operation and fabrication in a superpixel format. The SFPA wit ...

  5. Innovative Thermal Management Solutions for Radar T/R Modules

    SBC: Group4 Labs, LLC            Topic: MDA08T013

    This Phase-I STTR proposes the use of a new class of diamond-seeded solid-state material system for the manufacture of intense heat-generating solid-state electronics in Ka-band Ballistic Missile Defense radar components and systems. In this proposal wherein much preliminary work (also MDA-funded) has been demonstrated hitherto by the authors, Gallium Nitride-on-SiC power amplifiers in Ka-band rad ...

  6. High Sensitivity Light-Weight Gyroscope

    SBC: Los Gatos Research            Topic: MDA08T005

    Gyroscopes are found in nearly every airplane, many cars, robots, missiles, and more. The reason for such broad, wide-spread use is simple: gyroscopes are excellent tools for determining rotation, and can be quite sensitive. Improving the sensitivity of optical gyroscopes while also reducing their size and weight has proven to be a significant challenge. To provide a solution, Los Gatos Researc ...

  7. 2K x 2K Dual Band Focal Plane Array Development for Advanced Interceptor IRSTS Applications

    SBC: Nova Research, Inc. DBA Nova Sensors            Topic: MDA08T002

    Nova Sensors proposes the development of a new 2K x 2K dual-band readout integrated circuit (ROIC) that will be specifically tailored for use in MDA Infrared Search and Track System (IRSTS) applications. We propose incorporation of on-FPA features that streamline the use of dual-band focal plane array (FPA) data for missile detection, tracking and spectral discrimination applications. In cooperat ...

  8. Advanced Passive and Active Sensors for Discrimination Seekers

    SBC: NU-TREK, INC.            Topic: MDA08T004

    Raytheon Vision Systems (RVS) is developing a next generation, high-performance large-format HgCdTe FPAs for dual-band LWIR detection for the MKV Program. Increasing the format size of dual-band long-wavelength FPAs and tailoring the detector design for specific long-wavelength bands enables seekers to be designed for larger fields-of-view, longer target acquisition ranges, and improved accuracy ...

  9. Reconfigurable Course-Grain Analog Arrays

    SBC: NU-TREK, INC.            Topic: MDA08T007

    We will develop a rad-hard Application-Specific, Coarse-Grain Field Programmable Analog Array (ASCG-FPAA) by combining high performance analog functions with switches. The analog functions will be ADCs, DACs, analog mux/demux units, instrumentation amplifiers, track and hold circuits, etc. The switches can select or bypass entire analog functions or adjust parameters within the analog functions. A ...

  10. Electro Optic Avionic Advanced Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) Algorithm Development to Enhance the Lethality of Interceptors Against Maneuveri

    SBC: POLARIS SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: MDA08T003

    Electro-Optical Seekers that utilize a novel GNC Particle Flow processes may better address maneuvering targets and improve track and discrimination functions over traditional solutions. Particle flow processes track objects by estimating the global motion as a function of time. Traditional tracking algorithms using Kalman filters or particle filters have been proposed for finite dimensional repre ...
