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. Automatic Target Recognition from Motion Video

    SBC: ALPHATECH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    We propose a new automatic target recognition (ATR) system that operates on video data, exploiting the inherent redundancy and spatio-temporal coherence of motion imagery to create three-dimensional target signatures. Unlike previous approaches that useshape alone, our method will additionally model and predict object surface appearance properties, in the form of bi-directional reflectance distrib ...

  2. INSIGHT: Interpreting Network Structures to Obtain Intelligence on Groups of Hidden Terrorists

    SBC: ALPHATECH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Detecting and disrupting a terrorist network requires the ability to: link disparate (noisy, deceptive) data and recognize patterns in the underlying networks, estimate where further intelligence would be useful, and predict the network's response topossible attacks.We propose to combine state-of-the-art social network analysis (meta-networks) and statistical inferencing (probabilistic relational ...

  3. Distributed Tracking with Networked, Dynamically Relocatable Sensors

    SBC: ALPHATECH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Organic Air Vehicles have the potential to dramatically improve knowledge of the battlespace by providing persistent networked coverage which can dynamically adjust to changing conditions. These systems require novel algorithms which can address theproblems of positioning, sensor resource allocation, and tracking. Here we propose to define an architecture and create core algorithms which address ...

  5. Modeling Asymmetric Threats to Critical Infrastructure

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N/A

    To predict likely terrorist actions and terrorist targets in the U.S. we need (1) models of how terrorist organizations evolve and learn (2) identification of cultural variables likely to shape the evolution of terrorist organizations within the U.S. and(3) methods for including these cultural context variables in organizational learning models. Our team includes three essential types of expertise ...

  6. Rapid Design & Development of Behaviors for Autonomous Vehicles

    SBC: BLUEFIN ROBOTICS CORP.            Topic: N/A

    Bluefin Robotics proposes (in Phase I) to create a methodology for developing the Bluefin Agent Behavior Language (BABL) and associated tools. BABL will enable the rapid design and development of behaviors for autonomous vehicles. Key features of BABL arethat it:1) Makes a minimal set of assumptions about the capabilities and assumptions of the target UVs.2) Maintains generality without losing the ...

  7. Self-Mobile Trailier

    SBC: IROBOT CORP.            Topic: N/A

    iRobot proposes to design a XTV (eXtreme Terrain Vehicle) to carry significant combat loads for SOF foot patrols to objective areas. The XTV is fully amphibious and has a novel 6WDrive, 6WSteer active suspension/adaptive traction system powered by a runsilent hybrid diesel/electric drive. It can transit mountain paths, fast flowing rivers and cluttered urban alleys, either autonomously or by remot ...

  8. Antenna Enhancements for SOF Applications

    SBC: Megawave Corporation            Topic: N/A

    During Special Reconnaissance (SR) missions, U.S. Special Operating Forces (SOF) require tactical VHF/UHF antennas with physical and electrical characteristics, as well as radiation performance, that significantly exceed those of the antennas currentlyissued with legacy radios. This proposal addresses the design and development of an Enhanced Antenna Suite (EAS) that can be tailored to SOF needs ...

  9. Unconventional Space Power

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: N/A

    Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop new electrochemical supercapacitor materials for high power space applications that will complement current photovoltaic/battery space power systems. PI will synthesize polymeric supercapacitor materialsthat will provide double the energy density of current state-of-the-art supercapacitors by incorporating electron withdrawing substituents along th ...

  10. Hand-held, Standoff Chemical-Biological Hazard Detector

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: N/A

    In this proposal Physical Sciences Inc. outlines the innovative adaptation our tunable filter technology to meet SOCOM's need for a man-portable standoff chemical/biological agent sensor. This technology has been successfully tested by the U.S. Armyduring chemical simulant releases conducted at the Nevada Test Site in 1999, 2000, and 2001 The system passively detects changes in the infrared sign ...
