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. Simulation of Stressing Optical Clutter for Scene Generation

    SBC: ATMOSPHERIC & ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: MDA04154

    This effort will characterize the spatial structure and real world features of stressing atmospheric phenomena and develop techniques to efficiently represent these phenomena in optical/infrared background models. Our approach to this problem involves locating and identifying stressing backgrounds contained in measurements and extracting key clutter characteristics in a form that allows t ...

  2. Photonic T/R Module

    SBC: AGILTRON, INC.            Topic: MDA04182

    Leveraging on Agiltron's recent breakthrough in manufacturing low cost fiber optic digital delay lines and the drastic improvement in cost and performance of commercial optical transceivers, we propose to develop a practical fiber optic variable time delay based T/R integration module for microwave coherent distributed aperture and space-time coded phased array radars. The proposed approach overco ...

  3. Low Cost, Wide Band Infrared Window Technologies

    SBC: Aspen Systems, Inc.            Topic: MDA04114

    Aspen Systems Inc., proposes to investigate the feasibility of developing a protective coating material for ZnS that will have comparable mechanical properties of ALON, Spinel and Sapphire but will retain the extended regime transmission properties of multi-spectral ZnS. However, ZnS being a soft material with relatively poor mechanical strength and erosion resistance, it is essential to develop a ...

  4. Simple Colloid Thruster for Generating Precise Impulse Thrust

    SBC: BUSEK CO., INC.            Topic: MDA04019

    For the Phase I effort, Busek developed a simple, integrated colloid thruster prototype capable of producing thrust of 100 µN at reasonable operating conditions. A unique geometry was chosen from several electrospraying sources tested. This thrust was conservatively estimated from measured beam current, accelerating voltage and could be significantly higher. As this was achieved from an area o ...

  5. New Bonding Process for Joining High Tenacity Fabrics in Airships

    SBC: Cape Cod Research            Topic: MDA04161

    A new generation of high altitude airships (HAA) requires advanced materials and fabrication methods to achieve the weight, strength and durability requirement for long-term deployment. A new fabric joining approach is proposed to form strong, durable seams between textile components without incurring a large weight penalty. The new textile adhesive and application system are designed to perform ...

  6. Sensor Network Optimization using Multi-Agent Negotiation (SNOMAN)

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: MDA04023

    Missile defense takes place in an unpredictable, real-time environment and thus requires an adaptive approach to optimization that dynamically allocates sensors and their supporting resources in response to changing goals and constraints. Here, we propose a system for Sensor Network Optimization using Multi-Agent Negotiation (SNOMAN) to meet the challenge of this real-time resource allocation prob ...

  7. Three-Dimensional Reconstruction for Missile Recognition

    SBC: Energid Technologies Corporation            Topic: MDA02001

    Energid Technologies will create a model-based 3D threat-object identification system. The approach uses 3D models of the threat-object families to automatically construct identification algorithms for ladar and intensity sensor data. Single, dual, and multichannel imagery is supported. The system will identify an unknown object as one of up to 150 family types using three spatial stages: segm ...

  8. High-Pressure, Fuel Cell Flow-Field Design Solution for High-Altitude Airships (HAA)

    SBC: GINER INC            Topic: MDA04002

    High-Altitude Airships (HAAs) are becoming increasingly important for a variety of defense and non-defense oriented missions, including applications for homeland security, missile defense initiatives, surveillance, remote sensing, radar and telecommunications. Providing adequate power for the airship and payloads is a primary concern for long-duration HAAs. Regenerative fuel cell (RFC) systems are ...

  9. Advanced electrode coating method for performance enhancement and lower production costs in Lithium Ion batteries

    SBC: GINER INC            Topic: MDA04113

    An advanced method is proposed for applying very uniform electrode coatings for Lithium Ion batteries. The method will improve distribution of active material in the electrode for enhanced energy and power density and longer cycle life. With increased control of coating distribution and thickness, and elimination of waste, overall battery yield in manufacturing is expected to increase with a conc ...

  10. Lightweight On-Orbit Gimbal Systems

    SBC: HARDRIC LABORATORIES, INC.            Topic: MDA04132

    The Hardric Laboratories' program team for the development of Advanced, Lightweight On-Orbit Gimbal Structures (ALOGS), including of Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) and Brush Wellman, understands that the pointing / line of sight accuracy that a space sensor system can achieve and the repeatability of that performance over time is greatly dependent on the structural and thermal character ...
