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. High Temperature, High Power Density Silicon Carbide (SiC) Based Motor Drives for Aircraft Applications

    SBC: Arkansas Power Electronics International, Inc.            Topic: AF071181

    The terminal objective of this Phase II work will be the development of compact, fully integrated, high-temperature (250 °C), high-power-density SiC-based motor drives for avionics applications. The developed multi-chip power module (MCPM) will target an advanced motor drive application such as actuators (i.e., position control). The initial electrical rating targeted will be a 270 VDC input volt ...

  3. In-situ p-type doping activation near the MBE growth temperature of HgCdTe for advanced LWIR detectors

    SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: N/A

    High-performance HgCdTe infrared focal plane arrays (IRFPAs) sensing in the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) region and advanced structures such as multi-color detectors required for future generation IRFPAs are highly desirable for various Air Forceapplications. Such device architectures require not only reliable extrinsic n- and p-type doping of HgCdTe but also the precise control of composition ...

  4. Innovative Flight Instrumentation for Hypersonics

    SBC: INDUSTRIAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INC            Topic: AF071265

    In this proposal we exploit the remote sensing attributes of ultrasound to conduct heat transfer studies on hypersonic propulsion components and vehicle materials. In the Phase I program, we have successfully demonstrated the viability of the ultrasonic method to measure surface temperature, local temperature and heat flux. In a series of laboratory studies, we have remotely measured surface temp ...

  5. Propulsion for Miniature Munitions

    SBC: KINETIC BEI LLC            Topic: AF071152

    A compact heavy fueled engine is progressing from a desire to a requirement. A miniature Meyer Nutating Disk Engine provides the means of propulsion that the military has been seeking. An unmanned air vehicle (UAV) will have capabilities that are not currently possible with present internal combustion engines. The miniature high power density Meyer Nutating Disk Engine designed during the Phase I ...

  7. Materials for Superlattice Infrared Detectors

    SBC: MP Technologies, LLC            Topic: N/A

    High performance infrared detectors with cutoff wavelength above 16 micrometers are highly needed for many applications such as early detection of long range missiles, pollution monitoring, and astronomy. Currently available detectors with high quantumefficiency and high uniformity in this wavelength range are extrinsic silicon detectors which have to be cooled below 10K. Here, we propose novel te ...

  8. Artificial Intelligence Hybrid Range Scheduler

    SBC: QUANTUM LEAP INNOVATIONS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Scheduling is a complex, NP-hard problem that challenges the use of any single solution technique. In Phase I, we built a model that uses our multi-technique Quantum Leap Problem Solving Engine to solve a representative but simplified version of the AirForce Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) contact scheduling problem. The system demonstrated that it could schedule the hundreds (500 to 600) of t ...

  9. Geolocation and Attitude Determination from Laser Communication Systems

    SBC: Space Photonics, Inc.            Topic: AF071276

    In order to realize the geolocation and attitude determination benefits of formation flying multi-spacecraft clusters or constellations with onboard Acquisition, Tracking and Pointing (ATP) lasercom systems, four key elements must be present: 1. Broadband inter-spacecraft communications to enable the transport of high resolution pointing sensor data around the topology to the computing node(s) and ...
