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. Adaptive Guidance Against Maneuvering Targets for Ballistis Missile Defense

    SBC: GUIDED SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: MDA07012

    Existing approaches to guidance and estimation for intercept of maneuvering targets are often dependent on assumed models of maneuvering target behavior. We have shown in Phase I that intercept lethality can be dramatically reduced when an interceptor guidance strategy optimized for a specific maneuvering target type encounters a target whose behavior differs from that of the assumed model. We th ...

  2. Advanced Light-Weight Solid State Laser Cooling System (High Power Solid State Laser)

    SBC: YANKEE SCIENTIFIC INC            Topic: MDA08049

    System and component level advancements will be investigated for the Laser Refrigeration System. Opportunities available for significant performance improvement will be evaluated including, for example, those potentially resulting from the use of a turbodynamic refrigerant compressor, a high speed scroll compressor, a pressure recover expander, and water evaporative cooling augmentation. Li ...

  3. Advanced Space Sensor Components and Concepts

    SBC: PHOTRONIX            Topic: MDA08013

    This proposal describes a revolutionary advancement for space based sensing applications. The research work performed under this SBIR will allow for very large focal plane arrays (FPAs) to be manufactured at reduced costs by a special new technological advancement which will substantially reduce the costs of Read Out Integrated Circuits (ROICs) for these very large focal plane arrays. This new adv ...

  4. A Novel Method for Fast Rendering of Missile Plume Imagery

    SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES INC            Topic: MDA05044

    Since infrared radiation from missile exhaust plumes is a key observable for many satellite sensors and interceptor seekers, considerable effort has been expended in developing and validating high-fidelity plume signature codes. However, their utility for systems studies of missile fly-outs is limited by extremely long run times for each calculation. Spectral Sciences developed a data-driven algo ...

  5. Applications of FLITES-LADAR to Boost Phase Intercept Scenarios

    SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES INC            Topic: MDA08051

    Physics-based models of laser interactions with boosting missiles at long ranges are needed in support of ABL Special Projects Office selection of an optimal ladar system and future simulation of the weapon system. It is highly desirable that ABL programs base their design evaluations on a common, well-validated, and comprehensive ladar model to simulate laser interaction with the missile target, ...

  6. Calibration techniques for very large arrays

    SBC: GMR RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGY, INC.            Topic: MDA08030

    GMR Research & Technology (GMR) proposes to develop real-time digital methods to compensate for analog distortions in large RF arrays. In particular we will address manifold distortions caused by geometry, electronic, and near-field distortions. In this phase of the SBIR effort we will develop this approach for X-band arrays of at least 16 by 16 elements with at least 500 MHz instantaneous bandwi ...

  7. Defect Mapping of Wafers for Increasing Yield and Operability of Infrared Focal Plane Arrays

    SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC            Topic: MDA07026

    Yields and operability of high performance infrared focal plane arrays (IRFPAs), particularly those fabricated in HgCdTe, are severely impacted by material defects introduced during growth and/or processing. Amethyst Wafer Mapping (AWM) is a materials characterization technology which when fully developed will provide FPA manufacturers a critical new tool with which to effect remediation or elimi ...

  8. Development of High Performance AlInN-Based HEMTs

    SBC: Kopin Corporation            Topic: MDA08024

    ransistors (HEMTs) by providing a strain-free alternative to AlGaN as the barrier material. In particular, AlInN lattice matched to GaN should exhibit significantly higher polarization-induced charge and drain current, resulting in enhanced high power and high frequency capabilities for GaN HEMTs. However, AlInN alloys are challenging materials to produce due to the difference in growth conditio ...

  9. Development of Validated Plume Signature Codes at Nontraditional Wavelengths Utilizing Ground Based Simulation Facilities

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: MDA08033

    Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to utilize ground-based simulation facilities to obtain the critical data necessary to validate plume codes extended to include Ultraviolet(UV), Visible(Vis) and Long Wave InfraRed(LWIR) signatures. These plume signatures include both a near-field component at all altitudes and a far-field component at higher altitudes where hyperthermal reactions with the at ...

  10. Genetic Algorithm Allocation and Assignment Tool for Missile Defense Battle Management

    SBC: SCIENTIFIC SYSTEMS CO INC            Topic: MDA07045

    An increasing number of countries are acquiring nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons together with missile systems that enable them to deliver these weapons beyond their borders. Short response times require effective, efficient planning tools for resource and weapons allocation, assignment, and placement so that these tasks can be executed effectively in a highly stressed, uncertain environm ...
