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. Lightweight Virtualization to Detect, React, and Adapt to Cyber Attacks

    SBC: ZEPHYR SOFTWARE LLC            Topic: OSD09IA3

    Many software defenses against reverse engineering, piracy, and tampering rely on disabling the software when such attacks are detected. The proposed research makes innovative use of proces-level software virtualization on a per-application basis to defeat such attacks without disabling the software. The virtualization technology keeps normal operational run time overhead low, invoking more expens ...

  2. A Novel Microwave Sensor for Non- Destructive Evaluation of Silicon Nitride Bearing Balls

    SBC: ALPHASENSE, INC.            Topic: AF083109

    In this proposal, Alphasense, Inc. details the development of a novel microwave NDE sensor for defect inspections in silicon nitride bearing balls. The key innovations of this proposal include the following: a) the use of the spherical bearing ball as a dielectric resonator, thus enabling us to correlate the resonance characteristics of the bearing ball with various defects; b) the measurements in ...

  3. Anti-Jam Improvements by Combining Remotely Located Global Positioning System (GPS) Antennas on an Unpiloted/Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Platform

    SBC: Applied EM Inc.            Topic: AF083159

    Currently, there are two types of antenna configurations which are used with GPS receivers, fixed reception pattern antenna (FRPA) and controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA). FRPA is a single element antenna and can not use angle of arrival as a discriminator to suppress interfering or jamming signals. CRPA is an array of antenna elements with the ability to reject interference signals. Many ...

  7. Physics-Based Control Technology for Augmentor Screech Suppression

    SBC: AURORA FLIGHT SCIENCES CORPORATION            Topic: AF08BT15

    High frequency combustion instabilities in gas turbine thrust augmentors (called screech) are detrimental to performance and limit operational flexibility, but are unavoidable due to the nature of augmentor operation and design.  Present approaches to screech suppression via passive control provide acoustic damping over limited bandwidth, while active control methods are impractical for flight ap ...

  8. SkyCowboy

    SBC: AURORA FLIGHT SCIENCES CORPORATION            Topic: AF08T014

    Aurora Flight Sciences and MIT are teaming to bring their mutual experiences with autonomous aircraft systems together to examine the feasibility of an innovative system for the recovery of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) by larger Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The system proposed by Aurora and MIT exploits the use of an innovative tether system to facilitate MAV capture and retrieval. The Aurora/M ...

  9. Coordinated Sensor Fusion and Management for Multiple UAVs

    SBC: AURORA FLIGHT SCIENCES CORPORATION            Topic: AF083054

    Two disparate technologies associated with net-centric warfare have reached a fairly high level of maturity:  tactical control of UAVs and sensor fusion within and across high-value platforms. However, incorporation of local UAV data into the intelligence datastream is still limited, and more importantly, coordination of data gathering platforms is not automated or optimized. As the number of UAV ...

  10. Aerodynamic Control of Micro Air Weapons

    SBC: AVID LLC            Topic: AF083097

    AVID proposes to develop solid-state morphing control surface actuation technology.  By solid-state, we imply that there are no servos, linkages, or moving parts other than the conformal shape change of the aerodynamic surfaces.  Instead, piezoelectric Macro Fiber Composites (MFC) will be used to implement the morphing flight control capability. The morphing wing and control surfaces will be des ...
