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. Service Design Accelerator- Phase II

    SBC: SKYLIGHT INC.            Topic: AF20ATCSO1

    Service design is an emerging, but proven discipline for transforming user experiences by designing, aligning, and optimizing an organization's operation (people, processes, technology, etc.) to better support customer journeys. During Phase I, we conducted research and determined the feasibility of using an "accelerator model" to galvanize the rapid adoption of service design across the USAF, sta ...

  2. Electrochemical Machining of Refractory Metals for Aerospace Applications

    SBC: Voxel Innovations, Inc.            Topic: AF19CT010

    Hypersonic systems travelling above the speed of Mach 5 impart intense thermal stress on the airframe, requiring the use of refractory alloys to withstand the heat. The leading edges of hypersonic airframes and scramjet engine intakes are required to be sharp, smooth, and highly accurate to reduce drag and prevent unwanted shock waves due to manufacturing errors. Additionally, rocket engines, both ...

  3. Positioning and Scaling of the CAVEMAN Human Body Model for Pilot Injury Risk Analysis

    SBC: CORVID TECHNOLOGIES, LLC            Topic: AF19CT010

    The proposed project will develop subject-specific FE models of the head and integrate them with a full body finite element model. The combination of patient-specific head geometries with the generalized body model will provide a platform with which to apply improved boundary conditions for the head and neck, including applied muscle tension and the application of appropriate kinematics of the hea ...

  4. Development of Dynamic Weapon with Topology Optimization

    SBC: CORVID TECHNOLOGIES, LLC            Topic: AF20RDCSO1

    Topology optimization (TO) is a versatile structural design tool that can be used to develop new components and materials exhibiting enhanced performance relative to traditionally-designed alternatives. The US Air Force can leverage TO in the development of munitions and selectable effect warhead technologies. The proposed Phase II effort consists of two primary outcomes. The first is delivery of ...

  5. Application of Unmanned Aerial Systems to Generate Low-Cost 4th- and 5th- Generation Threat Replication

    SBC: Blue Force Technologies, Inc.            Topic: AF20RDCSO1

    Today’s aerospace industry struggles to rapidly design, experiment, and field novel aerospace capabilities because of the “lock in” business practices of major prime contractors. The rise of computational tools has not shortened aircraft design and build over the last 50 years because their use has been offset by a “hard tooling” mindset investing in overly durable and complex tooling fo ...

  6. An Energy and Power Dense Air Launched Platform Power Source

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: AF191076

    Air‑launched weapons require high‑power, high‑energy-density power supplies to operate radar, electronic guidance, guidance fin motors, and avionics systems. Due to the high cost and poor availability of existing thermal batteries, a suitable replacement power source using innovative energy storage concepts is desired. Creare proposes a novel high density power source based on an aluminum‑ ...

  7. Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions with a Clear Air Force Stakeholder Need

    SBC: ATHENIUM LLC            Topic: AF192001

    Athenium Analytics’ enterprise decision-support software leverages deep machine learning and AI to measure, mitigate, and manage risk through imagery (its “IRIS” solution )and risk analytics (its “Gauge” solution). The Athenium Analytics’ product suite will allow the Air Force to identify property and roof problems through automated imagery analytics, assess r ...

  8. Rapid Assessment System for Aircraft Repairs

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: AF20RDCSO1

    Depot-level manufacturing systems need to be highly responsive to changing requirements and flexible specifications. Currently, the characterization and localization of damage on the exterior of aircraft at the Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) at Robins AFB is an exclusively manual process using photographs and measurement tools that are difficult to use reliably on curved surfaces. All of this ...

  9. Alternate Corrosion Resistant Coating to be Applied to Magnesium Components

    SBC: UNITED PROTECTIVE TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: AF183018

    Overall, corrosion costs the U.S. over $300 billion annually which represents more than 3% of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product.  Currently, the DoD spends over $10 billion a year on a never-ending battle against corrosion each year to remain airworthy.  In some cases, aircraft maintenance hours can far outstrip flight hours leading to loss of asset readiness.  The primary reason for this is t ...

  10. Focus Area #4: Base of the Future, Passive Performance "NetZero Ready" Autonomous Expeditionary Buildings

    SBC: Modula S Inc            Topic: AF193CSO1

      The Air Force operates in extremely challenging environments worldwide.  Currently, private sector architects and engineers are building cost-effective NetZero buildings for private clients.  The Air Force needs to invest in demonstration projects of these private-sector technologies to evaluate their performance in the field under extreme conditions.  Passive ultra-high-performance building ...
