The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. In-situ Measurement of Marine Lubricant Degradation by X-band Micro-ESR Spectrometry

    SBC: Active Spectrum, Inc.            Topic: N08051

    We propose development and field testing of a high frequency, miniaturized electron spin resonance spectrometer (X-band Micro-ESR) to measure degradation of marine lubricants, gear oils and hydraulic oils in real time. Lubricants and other fluids of interest will flow continuously through the sensor during operation and condition information is transmitted electronically to the end user. The enhan ...

  2. Shaft-Mounted Cryogenic Refrigerator for HTS Motors and Generators

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: OSD08EP8

    Due to their high power density and efficiency, large capacity, high temperature superconductor (HTS) motors and generators offer a number of advantages over conventional electrical machines for ship propulsion and power generating systems. One of the key practical issues with HTS machines and other shipboard HTS systems is the support equipment required to accommodate the required cryogenic opera ...

  3. Compact Turbo-Rankine Bottoming Cycle

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N091072

    Electric generators for military and civilian applications produce large amounts of waste heat. This heat can produce additional electric power via a bottoming cycle. The resulting power would enable the use of more electronic devices and/or reduce fuel consumption and its associated costs and logistical burdens. Large power plants frequently use bottoming cycles, but smaller generators rarely inc ...

  4. Repeatable Release Holdback Bar Health Monitoring System

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N08014

    The Repeatable Release Holdback Bar (RRHB) is critical to the safe and effective launch of carrier-based aircraft. The current RRHB is a purely mechanical device with no integral electronic health monitoring or warning capabilities. All records regarding the use of an RRHB must be maintained manually to guide normal maintenance and calibration activities. In between these maintenance cycles, there ...

  5. Affordable Small Diameter Heading Sensor

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N08213

    One of the key limits to the detection range and bearing resolution of towed array sonar systems is the fact that the towed array cable will bend due to ocean currents and towing vessel maneuvers. There is therefore a need within the Navy for sensors that are able to measure and accurately quantify the cable attitude at regular intervals along the cable length. The sensor has to be accurate enough ...

  6. Long Period Heave Measurement System

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N08058

    Accurate measurements of ship heave are critical to evaluate the dynamic behavior of new vessels being developed for littoral and amphibious operations, as well as improving the accuracy of weapons targeting. Existing methods of heave measurement are based on double integration of measured acceleration to estimate vertical displacement. This approach is fundamentally limited by low frequency accel ...

  7. Automated System for Digital Measurements of Ear Canal Geometry

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N08153

    In order to reduce risks for hearing loss among sailors, the Navy seeks new methods to accelerate widespread deployment and usage of custom earplugs. When properly fitted and worn, custom earplugs can provide consistent, reliable hearing protection. In this project, Creare is developing a new approach for characterizing ear canal and pinna geometry for prescribing custom earplugs. Our completely d ...

  8. Gearbox Load and Life Simulation Software

    SBC: SENTIENT SCIENCE CORPORATION            Topic: N091017

    Gear tooth surface fatigue (pitting) is common precursor failure mode that leads to excessive gear vibration, liberation of debris particles that damage ancillary components (e.g. bearings), and serves as crack initiation sites that lead to eventual catastrophic tooth failure. Current gearbox life estimation techniques commonly underplay the significance of gear tooth surface fatigue due to the co ...

  9. A Universal Tactical Cryocooler Drive

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N07092

    SuperConducting Electronics (SCE) systems are becoming commonplace due to their substantial benefits in performance and cost when compared to traditional, semiconductor-based components. To achieve widespread adoption of SCE systems, low-cost and rugged cryocoolers and associated drives are needed. Creare is developing a universal Tactical Cryocooler Drive (TCD) to address this need. Our TCD provi ...

  10. Development of a Submersible Fish Cage for Open Ocean Aquaculutre

    SBC: JPS Industries, Inc.            Topic: 831

    A need exists to develop cost effective and reliable submersible cage technology for exposed aquaculture. The team assembled as part of this SBIR incorporates JPS Industries, Great Bay Aquafarms and the University of New Hampshire. In Phase I, a design will be developed based on concepts known to work in the industry. Concepts to be investigated include a cage constructed around HDPE pipe, with ...
