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. Integrated Flight Control Systems for Kinetic Kill Vehicles with Novel Internal Actuators

    SBC: OPTIMAL SYNTHESIS INC.            Topic: MDA04T003

    New internal actuation technologies and integrated design of guidance-control systems for kinetic kill vehicles are proposed. These actuation technologies can be used for KKV trajectory and attitude control in any speed range, both within and outside the atmosphere. Since the actuators are contained entirely within the airframe geometric envelope, and because no mass expulsion is involved, they of ...

  2. Low Cost Composite Structure with Integral Radiation Shield for Hardening of EKV Electro-Optics Subsystems

    SBC: Vanguard Composites Group, Inc.            Topic: MDA04T012

    Future Exoatmospheric Interceptor Kill Vehicle (EKV) system upgrades and Kinetic Energy Interceptors (KEI) are expected to require nuclear radiation hardening of electro-optics subsystems. Lightweight, low cost, producible structural radiation shielding is needed to address this EKV and KEI nuclear radiation hardening issues. A phase I program was successfully completed to demonstrate the feasibil ...

  3. Stratospheric Electrical Environments Applicable To Photovoltaic Arrays On HAA Platforms

    SBC: LIGHTNING TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: MDA04T008

    The objective of this program is to characterize the upper atmosphere electrical environment so that the effects of this environment on high altitude airships (HAA) and other platforms intending to operate in this environment can be determined, and protection methods developed. This includes transient luminous events (TLEs), such as red sprites and blue jets and their associated electrical propert ...

  4. Techniques for Radiation Hardening of EKV through Incorporaton of Shielding in Component Structures Fabricated from Be/Be Alloy Substitute Materials

    SBC: SCIMITAR TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: MDA04T012

    Beryllium has been the material of choice for many Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV) components due to its desirable physical characteristics despite its health hazard concerns and high cost. However, beryllium has poor radiation shielding properties against x-ray, gamma ray and space radiation. Parasitic radiation shielding materials must be used in conjunction with beryllium where radiation sh ...

  5. High Power Vacuum GaN

    SBC: Stellar Micro Devices            Topic: MDA04T013

    The Phase I solicitation asked for novel approaches to power output stages in Transmit/Receive(T/R) modules fabricated from GaN or other wide bandgap semiconductor materials, leading to increased power and efficiency or decreased transmission line loss with proof-of-principle demonstrations or models based on open source X-Band Radar parameters. The SMD/MIT team responded with an innovative high ...

  6. Multispectral Nanoantenna Infrared Sensors

    SBC: EUTECUS, INC.            Topic: MDA04T015

    This 18 months STTR Phase II proposal is based on work completed under the STTR Phase I grant entitled “Multispectral Nanoantenna Infrared Sensors” (Contract No. N00178-04-C-3110). In this Phase II project, we propose the development of multispectral MWIR and LWIR nanoantennas and their integration with an ultra-high speed Cellular Visual Microprocessor operating at 10,000 frames per second. U ...

  7. Phase I Proposal #B045-014-0221: Target Scene Resolution and Calibration Using Innovative Region Based Active Contour Techniques

    SBC: TECHFINITY, INC.            Topic: MDA04T014

    Given the stressing timelines of KEI, there is a need to quickly and accurately determine the precise location of the physical centroid of a ballistic missile hard body in order to find the desired point of intercept for the kill vehicle. During terminal homing, when the interceptor relies on its IR seeker, there are many events within the seeker field of view (FOV) that can contribute to a failur ...

  8. Insensitive Munitions Technology

    SBC: EXQUADRUM INC            Topic: MDA05T006

    It is proposed to qualitatively and quantitatively investigate the `Bonfire' insensitive munition (IM) characteristics of solid rocket motors. The study will focus upon developing fundamental understanding of the transient heat transfer, heat flux and the overall thermal load to and through the motor case's various multi-layered materials at elevated temperatures up to solid propellant bondline ig ...

  9. Full-spectrum Integrated Reaction Evaluation and Synthesis (FIRES)

    SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES INC            Topic: MDA05T017

    Highly energetic chemical processes play a central role in many military and commercial applications. For example, spectral emissions from missile plumes, arising from high-velocity chemical interactions of exhaust gases with the atmosphere, are used to detect, track, and identify threat targets. Detailed, quantitative knowledge of the energy-dependent chemical reaction cross sections and rates i ...

  10. Li Ion Base Battery Model

    SBC: Quallion LLC            Topic: MDA05T014

    A base model will be developed for both lithium-ion cells and a battery of cells. All the important thermodynamic and transport phenomena occurring in an individual cell will be accurately characterized. In Phase I, we will determine the appropriate mathematical equations for the base cell model, determine accurate values for all the thermodynamic and transport parameters, and develop an efficient ...
