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

    Infrared sensors play an important role in missile defense systems, and continued improvement in their performance is critical as adversary payloads become smaller, cooler, and dimmer. While there can be no substitute for in-situ performance testing, the risks, cost, and development time for future systems can be reduced through accurate scene and sensor simulations. Current scene simulation alg ...

  2. Improved Optical Turbulence Forecasts

    SBC: ATMOSPHERIC & ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: MDA05012

    We propose a Phase I SBIR project to define a forecast system to predict lower stratospheric and upper tropospheric optical turbulence. The application will be designed to be implemented within the Airborne Laser Atmospheric Decision Aid (ADA). The application will utilize as input data from the Air Force Weather Agency's theater numerical weather prediction (NWP) model. During Phase I, several ca ...

  3. ABL (Airborne Laser) Detection Sensor Improvements

    SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC            Topic: MDA06T006

    The first sentinel of ABL’s present target acquisition suite is a passive infrared search and track sensor of 1970s vintage, which we propose replacing with HyPAWS. HyPAWS is a low-cost passive wide-field of view staring sensor. Several such units suffice to provide full 360-degree view coverage. Leveraging revolutionary sensing techniques in ongoing development, HyPAWS offers advanced detect ...

  4. Low Thermal Resistance High Power RF Devices

    SBC: CAPESYM INC            Topic: MDA05034

    The goal of this program is to improve the thermal performance of RF power devices, by reducing their internal thermal resistance. This work will benefit both High Voltage GaAs (HV-GaAs) as well as GaN and SiC RF devices.

  5. High Purity SiC Crystals by the HTCVD Process

    SBC: CAPESYM INC            Topic: MDA05035

    This program focuses on growth of uncompensated semi-insulating SiC crystals by using high purity precursor gases in a novel High Temperature CVD reactor. The crystal growth process is tailored to minimize release of impurities into the growth chamber and incorporation of these impurities into the growing crystal.

  6. Low Defect LWIR Substrates by the Detached Growth Method

    SBC: CAPESYM INC            Topic: MDA05008

    This proposal is focused on the development of a novel method for the growth of low-dislocation-density, high-purity, and low-precipitate-concentration CdZnTe and CdSeTe crystals for use as substrates for MCT detectors. This work is motivated by the observation that II-VI compound semiconductors grown detached from the containment wall in space, as well as other materials grown on earth, have exh ...

  7. Meta-Information Visualization and Processing for C2

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: MDA05058

    Command and control in ballistic missile defense is characterized by large amounts of complex information that must be rapidly processed by the decision-maker. Part of this complexity is due to meta-information, or, characteristics of information such as uncertainty, staleness, etc. that add to the decision-making burden. Knowledge regarding this meta-information, and methods for effectively pro ...

  8. Lightweight On-Orbit Gimbal Systems

    SBC: HARDRIC LABORATORIES, INC.            Topic: MDA04132

    The gimbal elevation ring, also made with AlBeMet 162, It will be manufactured from a Near Net Shape (NNS) Hipped block of material. The technical objectives of this portion of the Phase II are as follows: a. Provide structural analysis of the gimbal elevation ring and drawings revised to reflect wall thickness accounting for the change in material. b. Thermal, Structural, and Pointing & Stabili ...

  9. Wafer-Scale Antenna (WSA) Tile for Low-Power-Density, Phased-Array Radars (9707)

    SBC: Hittite Microwave Corporation            Topic: MDA05033

    Hittite proposes to develop a WSA tile with which to build very large antennas for GMD, BMDS and SBX radars. A 10-GHz, WSA tile with integrated beam forming offers dramatically lower size, weight, power and cost relative to conventional phased-array antennas. The 127-element, 10-GHz ¡O 10% tile contains all of the transmit, receive, and beam forming functions on a single, 8¡" (200 mm) silicon wa ...

  10. Thermal Pyrolytic Graphite Embedded Copper Graphite and Aluminum Graphite Composites for Thermal Management of Phase Array Radar Systems

    SBC: METAL MATRIX CAST COMPOSITES, LLC (DBA M            Topic: MDA04139

    In Phase I, MMCC combined discontinuous graphite fiber preforms with ultra high thermal conductivity (1700 W/mK TPG) inserts and created hybrid composites with thermal expansion matching to GaAs, SiC and GaN semiconductors and thermal conductivities from 800 to 1200 W/mK. A conventional Cu MetGraf skin/encapsulant with high conductivity preforms oriented in the “Z” (through thickness) directi ...
