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 Multi-Tiered Lithium-Ion Battery Thermal Fault Mitigation Architecture

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N14AT006

    With the continued electrification of military systems, lithium-ion (Li ion) batteries are increasingly targeted for electrical energy storage due to exceptional energy and power density. However, Li ion batteries operating in hostile thermal and mechanical environments typical of military aircraft are prone to catastrophic thermally-induced failures. Hazards including loss of power, fire, and exp ...

  2. A Nanophosphate Lithium-ion Chemistry Source for Crossover Power Sources

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N121067

    The MK-48 torpedo requires a temporary crossover power supply until main engine activation and alternator power becomes available. Due to the high cost and poor availability of presently used thermal batteries, a suitable replacement power source using innovative energy storage concepts is desired. Creare proposes to develop an innovative high density power source based on a nanophosphate lithium- ...

  3. CROSSED FIELD AMPLIFIER TRANSMITTER

    SBC: H6 Systems Inc.            Topic: N122127

    H6 Systems proposes building a transmitter based on a modified coupled cavity TWT from CPI to increase coverage of MIL-STD-464C. Present testing methods are lacking in the coverage of power for frequencies from 3.0 3.3 GHz. The new transmitter will allow testing at both peak and average powers and will fill requirements for fields shipboard not in the main beam.

  4. Modeling of Integrally Bladed Rotor (IBR) Blends

    SBC: Optimal Solutions Software, LLC            Topic: N13AT002

    The main goal of Phase II is to validate the Phase I prototype and develop an integrated design and analysis tool for assessing large damage and blends for compressor IBRs on gas turbine engines and other blade systems. This tool will have at its core the automated analytical modeling of as-measured or as-expected airfoil blends for the structural and aero response to the shape change due to blend ...

  5. Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) for Recrystallized Grains in Single Crystal Superalloys

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N132097

    The single-crystal (SC) structure of modern jet engine turbine blades provides excellent resistance to high-temperature creep, allowing tight tolerances to be maintained over the life of the superalloy part. However, the turbine blade geometry includes complicated features that can promote the growth of discrete recrystallized grains that lower the parts creep resistance and may lead to catastroph ...

  6. Millimeter Thick, Periodically Oscillating Polarity GaN Grown via HVPE

    SBC: KYMA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: N131068

    Gallium Nitride is a wide bandgap, highly transparent material with a second order non-linear susceptibility similar to that of LiNbO3 with high thermal conductivity. As such, it is of interest for use as a quasi-phase matching material for several high power nonlinear devices. Kyma Technologies will grow thick (~1mm) periodically oriented GaN crystals using hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) and ...

  7. Ship Airwake Measurement System

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N13AT015

    Measurement surveys of full-scale ship airwakes are needed to validate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models of these wakes. Airwake computations guide the design of ship superstructures, improve the fidelity of flight simulators, and save time and reduce risk during flight tests to define launch and recovery envelopes for ship and aircraft combinations. Current full-scale test techniques invo ...

  8. Turbo-Rankine Power System for Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vents

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N111071

    Hydrothermal vents emit large amounts of hot water, which has the potential to produce electric power. This type of power source can enable remote sea sensors, recharge autonomous underwater vehicles, and facilitate a variety of deep sea activities. Developing a power system for this application is challenging because the environment is extremely corrosive, mineral precipitation and biological act ...

  9. A Robust Heat Exchanger for Gas Turbine Exhaust Heat Recovery

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N111078

    Marine gas turbine engines are typically 30 to 40% efficient at full power resulting in 60 to 70% of the input energy being exhausted to the environment as waste heat. These engines are even less efficient at partial power conditions where they often operate. Bottoming cycles, such as organic Rankine cycles, can utilize this waste heat to produce useful work, improving overall efficiency by 10 to ...

  10. Flight Hearing Protection System

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N111011

    Creare proposes a cost-effective upgrade to the Navy"s helmet for helicopter aircrews that will improve the hearing protection provided by this device. The upgrade will be engineered for the higher noise levels expected in the new CH-53K heavy-lift helicopter. We will focus on maximizing the passive attenuation provided by the helmet rather than introducing additional active electronics. We will a ...
