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-Temperature Metamaterial Emitter For Thermophotovoltaics

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: N13AT017

    Combustion thermophotovoltaics (TPV) has the potential to achieve power and energy densities five to ten times that of rechargeable batteries. To date, however, TPV converter devices have not become commercially viable due to their low conversion efficiencies. The poor conversion efficiencies are primarily attributed to a mismatch between the bandgap of the TPV diode and the spectrum of the emitte ...

  2. Prehensor for one atmosphere diving suit

    SBC: VISHWA ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION LLC            Topic: N13AT010

    The specific research objectives of this program are to develop a rugged and human equivalent (human-sized, multi-fingered with opposing thumb) underwater robotic hand that mimics the dexterity of a gloved diver and that can replace existing 1-DOF pliers on Navy Atmospheric Diving Suits (ADS) and Navy UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicles) without any mechanical seals. Furthermore it is the objective ...

  3. Technologies for Rare Earths Enrichment of a Novel Low-Cost Raw Material

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: OSD12T01

    Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) and the University of Connecticut propose a Phase II program to develop enrichment processes for concentrating the rare earth elements (REE) content of a novel, low cost, and abundantly and readily available industrial waste material in the United States. This material has not previously been considered as a domestic REE source. In Phase I, laboratory scale experiments ...

  4. Development of a Safer Lithium-ion (Li-ion) Battery for Naval Aircraft Applications Through Thermal Management Design

    SBC: EIC LABORATORIES, INC.            Topic: N14AT006

    Rechargeable lithium ion battery systems can provide power throughout the aircraft, including engine or Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) starting, avionics, emergency, and other systems. Because of their high specific energy/power and potential thermal instability, they can present hazards if improperly designed, tested, handled, or stored. To address the thermal safety issue of Li-ion batteries, EIC La ...

  5. A Rapid Optical Approach to Quantitative Composite Bond Quality Assessment

    SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES INC            Topic: N13AT011

    Widely used composite materials reduce aircraft weight and cost, improve structural performance, and boost fuel efficiency. However, composites are susceptible to adhesive bond line quality issues, both in initial fabrication and in service related bonding failures. Detection of weakened bonds requires an easy diagnostic approach to routinely monitor composite aircraft health. Our proposed solutio ...

  6. Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based High Efficiency Switch/Transistor for L-Band RF Power Amplifier Applications

    SBC: Cambridge Electronics, Inc.            Topic: N13AT025

    The goal of Phase II of this STTR project is to optimize the GaN transistor obtained in Phase I to deliver a 100-W power amplifier with 90% power added efficiency (PAE) at 1 GHz. Emphasis will be put on optimizing output capacitances, improving gate control and further improving epitaxial wafers. We will finalize our design of power amplifier circuit module based on the improved device and our pro ...

  7. Modeling the Environment to Train Radar Operators for Littoral Combat Ships (METRO-LCS)

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: N14AT012

    Current systems for training Navy surface ship radar operators cannot simulate the effects of varied environmental conditions on radar performance. Instead, operators must train on these effects during at-sea operations. Such unsystematic training cannot

  8. Electric Field Sensing for UAV-based MAD Noise Mitigation

    SBC: White River Technologies Inc            Topic: N15AT004

    White River Technologies, Inc. and Boston University propose a systematic R&D project that first develops the requirements for an E-field sensing solution based on our physical understanding of UAV-based MAD noise and then tailors design and development activities to those requirements. New Magnetic Anomaly Detection (MAD)-equipped unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems that are organic to the P-8A ...

  9. Towed Magnetic Anomaly Detection (MAD) Aerodynamic Modeling and Simulation for Rotary Wing Platforms

    SBC: Area I, Inc.            Topic: N15AT009

    The Area-I team proposes to leverage its expertise and extensive design, analysis, and simulation tools to evaluate the design space of towed magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) systems with the goal of understanding the design trends and requirements in developing a new, lightweight rotorcraft-towed anti-submarine warfare (ASW) system that is optimized to take advantage of smaller state-of-the-art M ...

  10. Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Diver Thermal Human Interface

    SBC: BOSTON ENGINEERING CORPORATION            Topic: N15AT012

    Navy Special Warfare needs to improve the thermal control subsystems on the SEAL Delivery Vehicle to provide heated or cooled water to the operators during transit in water temperatures from approximately 35F or above 95F. Unprotected operation in these environments, and the resulting core body temperature change of more than ~5F risk serious injury, and lasting muscular-skeletal damage. The curre ...
