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. Wave Energy Harvesting to Power Unmanned Surface Vehicles

    SBC: Advanced Mechanical Technology, Inc.            Topic: N05T021

    Recent world events have highlighted the need for timely and accurate intelligence data to assess threats and combat terror. An unmanned surface vehicle (USV ) can potentially perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, provide force protection, hunt for mines in coastal waters or harbors, and provide port security. USVs under development by the Navy are powered by the ...

  2. Vector Hydrophone Torpedo Defense Array

    SBC: Applied Physical Sciences Corp.            Topic: N05T030

    An advanced vector hydrophone towed array is proposed for surface ship torpedo defense applications. Vector hydrophone promise to provide much-needed array gain in aperture-constrained systems. The additional gain results in significant increases in detection ranges and/or decreases in false alarm rates. A physics-based vector sensor array simulator will be developed in a modular architecture. ...

  3. Low Drag, Underwater Acoustic Source for Sea Surface-based Mine Sweeping

    SBC: Applied Physical Sciences Corp.            Topic: N05T029

    A critical design feature for a towed mine countermeasure platform is low drag. In this STTR we propose to integrate an efficient acoustic source within a low drag body to perform influence mine sweeps behind an unmanned surface vehicle. To develop the optimum system a trade-study is proposed during Phase I to examine electronically-powered transducers and novel hydroacoustic concepts. The tran ...

  4. Mission Displays for Autonomous Systems (MiDAS)

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N05T017

    We propose producing the MiDAS (Mission Displays for Autonomous Systems) interface designed to exploit existing automation capabilities of unmanned vehicles and improve future user interfaces in unmanned vehicles using an automated control system. Our technical approach features an innovative concept: using a Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) approach to provide the structure for our design of the Mi ...

  5. Underwater Acoustic Communications

    SBC: BENTHOS, INC.            Topic: N05T022

    This proposal is concerned with the development of very long range acoustic communications (acomms) with submerged submarines with towed arrays . To achieve long ranges, we must move down from our conventional signaling above 10 kHz, to a frequency regime which imposes little attenuation on the signals. Based upon the availability of an extensive, well-documented long-range sonar data base, we p ...

  6. A Profiling Bioluminescence Sensor for use in the Coastal Ocean

    SBC: BENTHOS, INC.            Topic: N05T026

    Collecting and understanding marine bioluminescence (BL) distribution data is an important Navy requirement for strategic operations. Bioluminescence profile, spatial distribution, and temporal data can be used to understand the vulnerability of covert operations or to determine the detection threshold of hostile forces. Additionally, the low-cost collection and cataloging of this information wil ...

  7. Combining Model-based Reasoning with Knowledge Discovery Techniques for Level 2 and 3 Fusion

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: N05T019

    We propose to develop an approach to combine model based reasoning with knowledge discovery techniques for enhanced Level 2 and 3 data fusion, especially suitable for detecting asymmetric threats (e.g. ambush, insurgency) in cluttered urban environments. The knowledge discovery part: 1) deploys evidence filtering of large volumes of intelligence data to detect low-signature significant spatio-temp ...

  8. Plan Understanding for Mixed-initiative control of Autonomous systems (PUMA)

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: N05T017

    Future naval operations in the littoral environment will make use of unmanned vehicles to support a range of operations, including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and mine warfare. Many challenges that arise in pursuing such capabilities are rooted in the need for effective communication between human operators and autonomous mission planning/execution systems, such that the h ...

  9. Shallow Water Acoustic System for Hydro-data (SWASH)

    SBC: CLEARWATER INSTRUMENTATION, INC.            Topic: N05T027

    Scripps Institute of Oceanography (UCSD) with ONR support has developed the methodology to utilize acoustic sensors suitable for incorporation in autonomous drifting sampling instruments for measuring vertical current structure in shallow waters, water depth, bottom sediment characteristics, and acoustically active water column properties. Clearwater Instrumentation has extensive experience in des ...

  10. Hybrid Propulsion Systems for Undersea Weapons

    SBC: DESIGN BY ANALYSIS, INC.            Topic: N05T024

    In response the U.S. Navy's desire to continuously improve its undersea weapons capabilities, Design By Analysis, Inc. of New Britain, Connecticut in conjunction with the University of Connecticut's Global Fuel Cell Center propose an auxiliary electrochemical power system for use in undersea weapon systems. This novel concept modifies an existing thermally propelled torpedo to include Proton Exch ...
