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 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 ...

  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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, ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Multi-Spectral Image Enhancement and Fusion

    SBC: EM PHOTONICS INC            Topic: N231045

    As the proliferation of video sensors continues, it becomes increasingly difficult to simultaneously monitor available video feeds to extract meaningful information. While automated analytics tools help, there is value to having a single, integrated view of a scene - a composite of the available cameras. These cameras may have different resolutions, framerates, and fields of view while operating i ...

  7. Efficient Algorithms for Automated Battle Damage Assessment

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N231048

    Sea mines are a persistent threat to naval operations. Mines are inexpensive to fabricate and easy to deploy, making them a favorite tool of our adversaries. The Navy is actively developing new countermine technologies to defeat this threat more quickly and efficiently than ever before. However, countermining operations still require manual battle damage assessment (BDA) to verify target neutraliz ...

  9. Topology Optimization for 3-D Printed Compact Condensers

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N23AT024

    Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes, such as laser powder bed fusion, have enabled the construction of heat exchangers with custom form factors and unique internal geometries. Topology optimization (TO) takes advantage of these unique geometries to create flow structures that have increased heat transfer effectiveness and reduced pressure drop compared to standard heat exchanger channels. The Na ...

  10. A High Heat Capacity Backup System for Sustaining Cryogenic Temperatures

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N231068

    U.S. Navy ships use systems employing superconductors for power distribution and other applications, and cryocoolers maintain the cryogenic temperatures required for superconductor operation. When cryocooler electrical power is lost or interrupted for more than a brief period (such as during power source transfer, maintenance, or unplanned events), these systems begin warming to temperatures at wh ...
