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. A Massively Parallel Scalable Processor for Order of Magnitude Increase in Acceleration of Photonic Simulations

    SBC: VIRTUAL EM INC.            Topic: N23AT008

    Virtual EM proposes develop a massively parallel ASIC for orders of mangnitude speed up of electromagnetic simulations of thin optical lenses made of metamaterials. The ASIC will implement a prorietary algorithm and will deliver scalable run-times that cut the simulation time by more than 1000x compared to today's state-of-the-art simulators.

  2. Reduced Cost, Enhanced Degrees of Freedom Optics

    SBC: Nanovox, LLC            Topic: N23AT011

    A new optics technology platform will be developed that reduces the cost of dual-band short-wave infrared (SWIR) and mid-wave infrared (MWIR) optics for high-performance wide field of view (WFOV) imaging. The use of infrared optics has been increasingly adopted by the military, but the cost of wideband infrared optical systems remains a challenge. This study proposes to increase the available DOF ...

  3. Lightweight Turbogenerator for VTOL UAV

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N23AT016

    The Navy is developing a new type of UAS for small-deck ships that can operate from these platforms but that provide the endurance and range of a conventional fixed-wing UAS. These UASs are tail-sitting and take off and land vertically (VTOL) while flying horizontally. The Navy is seeking propulsion systems for these UASs that have high specific power, but also have reasonable efficiency (SFC). Th ...

  4. Small Auxiliary Lightweight Turbogenerator Engine (SALT-E)

    SBC: BRAYTON ENERGY LLC            Topic: N23AT016

    Current VTOL UASs in development, and concepts being pursued by both commercial and military operators, require high-power delivery on takeoff and landing segments. This duty can be served with a special purpose ultra-lightweight gas turbine-alternator. For this short duty cycle, the relaxed SFC requirement opens opportunities for weight reduction strategies. This FOA’s specification for elect ...

  5. Low Acoustic Signature Electric Propulsion System for Navy Craft

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N222115

    The Navy utilizes small, crewed watercraft, e.g., the Special Operations Craft – Ravine, for a range of missions in the littoral zone. These watercrafts, while designed for high-speed operation, also require low-speed stealth operation to successfully complete all types of mission objectives. However, the existing internal combustions engines and propulsion systems currently used on these vessel ...

  6. Real-Time Simulation of Thermal Protection System in a Hypersonic Environment

    SBC: MICHIGAN ENGINEERING SERVICES LLC            Topic: N222123

    Hypersonic weapons are one of the main priorities of the Department of Defense (DoD) activities since China and Russia have such capabilities (e.g. the DF-ZF, designated by Pentagon as the WU-14, is a hypersonic missile delivery vehicle that has been operational by China since 2019).  Due to the importance of these adversarial threats, the Navy, Army, and Air Force have programs for developing hy ...

  7. Active Low-Voltage Thin-Film Lithium Niobate Electro-Optic Modulator

    SBC: PHASE SENSITIVE INNOVATIONS INC            Topic: N231010

    The primary technical objective of the proposed effort will be to investigate integration of optical gain medium with thin-film lithium niobate on insulator (TFLNOI) optical waveguides. Recent developments in crystal ion-sliced (CIS) TFLNOI have enabled a new class of electro-optic modulators and photonic integrated circuits with tighter mode confinement, a compact footprint, ultra-high bandwidth, ...

  8. Additive Manufacture of Thermal Infrared Optics

    SBC: Nanovox, LLC            Topic: N231011

    ??????? The proposed effort aims to develop a technology platform that can deposit non-toxic infrared optical materials on existing substrates to refurbish MWIR and LWIR optical components. The challenge lies in matching the refractive index, dispersion, and partial-dispersion properties of the existing lens or optical substrate, which requires precise deposition of custom optical feedstock compos ...

  9. Buoy Based Distant Early Warning for Hypersonics

    SBC: HYPERKELP INC            Topic: N231013

    While Electro Optic (EO) sensors stationed on the surface and space systems are key to the Deprtment of the Navy’s (DoN) ability to track and counter hypersonic threats, they face limitations. Both space based and surface level sensors are prone to signal blockage by clouds, which absorb optical and infrared signals characteristic to Hypersonic Glide Vehicles HGVs. Well over 50% of the ocean is ...

  10. N231-032- Launchable Buoyancy Glider Configurable for Varying Payloads

    SBC: GREAT LAKES SOUND & VIBRATION INC            Topic: N231032

    The US Navy is searching for a cost effective and novel solution for launchable mini-glider sensor platforms which can be of three standard size form factors. The Great Lakes Sound & Vibration, Inc. (GLSV) proposed glider will have the ability to be launched from the deck of various surface vessels and be able to survive a 48-hour service life in up to sea state 6 (SS 6) conditions. The GLSV glide ...
