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. High Z-Conductivity Composite Structures for Low-Observable Aircraft Heat Rejection (1001-951)

    SBC: TRITON SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: AF131009

    ABSTRACT: Triton Systems Inc., in combination with our partner Northrop-Grumman Corporation proposes to develop a high performance composite heat exchanger system that can be integrated into airframe structures of unmanned and manned systems to provide thermal management for aircraft systems and/or mission payload. The key ingredient of the composite heat exchanger is a novel technique for pierc ...

  2. Micromachined Fused Silica Pump Combiners with Signal Feed Throughput

    SBC: TRANSLUME INC            Topic: AF131011

    ABSTRACT: We propose to fabricate a high performance signal and pump combiner for high-power fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers. We will use advanced glass micromachining processes that will alleviate the fabrication challenges associated with either tapered fused fiber couplers or side-pumped fused coupler. A central robust fused silica structure will be micromachined. The pumps and signal fib ...

  3. Ultra-High Density Ion Propulsion From Ionic Liquids

    SBC: BUSEK CO., INC.            Topic: AF11BT10

    ABSTRACT: Busek Co. Inc. and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) propose to explore the physical limits of ionic liquid propulsion via development of new theory to explain effects of close packing emission density and to predict performance limits. The research is motivated by observations and tests demonstrating that emission from 2-dimensional porous surfaces yields order of magnitude g ...

  4. Space Based Hyper-Spectral Imaging Sensor

    SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES INC            Topic: AF131146

    ABSTRACT: Spectral Sciences Inc. (SSI) proposes to address the need for improved battlespace intelligence by developing the Battlespace Large Area Spectral-imaging Transient-event (BLAST) sensor, optimized for space-based target detection. BLAST is a highly efficient, fast framing, Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system with high spatial and temporal resolution. The system will detect, locate and i ...

  5. Multispectral High Dynamic Range DMD-Based Scene Projector

    SBC: Optra, Inc.            Topic: AF131185

    ABSTRACT: OPTRA proposes the development of a three-band visible (VIS), shortwave infrared (SWIR), and midwave infrared (MWIR) high dynamic range digital micromirror device (DMD)-based scene projector incorporating OPTRA"s patented structured illumination technique for achieving low background scene projection and high contrast at high frame rates with the associated short integration times. Thi ...

  6. Cost-effective Operationally Response Membrane Antenna (CORMA)

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: AF121068

    ABSTRACT: ORS requires rapid delivery of low-cost payloads that meet the needs of unplanned and unanticipated spacecraft missions. Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) will provide ORS, the Air Force, and other customers with a low-cost, rapidly-fabricated deployable antenna for use in a wide range of potential RF missions. The PSI team will use a combination of commercially available manufacturing techn ...

  7. Anti-reflective Coating for High-Efficiency Solar Cells

    SBC: Raydex Technology, Inc.            Topic: AF121073

    ABSTRACT: This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project seeks to further develop an AR coating on high efficiency PV device surface that can enable a reflection loss < 3% over the wavelength range from 300 nm to 1800 nm. The proposed effort will optimize the coating design and the coating process of the broadband AR coating so that it can be integrated into PV cell products. Standard t ...

  8. Optical Remote Detection of Low Level Earth Surface Vibrations

    SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES INC            Topic: AF12BT02

    ABSTRACT: Underground facilities can be used by rogue governments to conceal command-and-control and to manufacture weapons of mass destruction, and are an increasingly important operational challenge to U.S. military forces. Our objective is to determine improved methods of detection essential to address this critical intelligence need. Activity below the ground causes seismic surface waves th ...

  9. SAASM Compliant GPS Receiver for GEO (SGR)

    SBC: MAYFLOWER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, INC.            Topic: AF141113

    This Mayflower SRG product addresses the limitations of current SAASM receivers that do not allow for sidelobe tracking required for GEO operations and also do not meet the size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints of the intended Air Force platforms. As such, the SRG proposal when proven successful will meet an urgent Air Force need. Mayflower is proposing to study the feasibility of leveraging ...

  10. Characterizing Resident Space Objects from Photometric Signatures (CROPS)

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: AF141123

    The US is highly dependent on space resources for communications and imaging, as well as positioning, navigation, and timing services that support military operations, government operations, and commercial interests. Because the space environment is both congested and contested, effectively operating space resources is a challenge. The Joint Space Operations Center requires high-quality space situ ...
