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, Pressure-Activated, Dynamic Seals for Solid Rocket Motors

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: MDA21011

    Future solid propulsion systems will require higher propellant burn temperatures to achieve improvements in impulse and thrust. We propose to continue development of our novel seal technology that will enable significant increases in temperature at the seal location. In Phase I, we proved the feasibility of our approach through analysis, prototyping, and proof‑of‑concept demonstrations. In Pha ...

  2. High-Temperature, Pressure-Activated, and Infinite-Shelf-Life Dynamic Seals for Solid Rocket Motors

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: MDA21011

    Current dynamic seals in solid rocket motors are limited to relatively low-temperature environments, which limit the compactness and overall temperature capabilities of the motors. We propose to develop a novel seal technology that will enable significant increases in temperature at the seal location, reduce friction and actuation loads, and offer infinite shelf life. In Phase I we will prove the ...

  3. Modeling of High-Power Fiber Laser Performance

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: MDA19019

    Narrow line width fiber lasers have great potential for high-power directed energy applications. The beams of multiple fibers can be combined using spectral or coherent methods for scaling to high power levels. To successfully achieve goals of multi-kW fiber laser system scaling, accurate methods are needed to predict the performance of individual fibers and how their performance is affected by fi ...

  5. Modeling of High-Power Fiber Laser Performance

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: MDA19019

    Creare team will develop a comprehensive physics-based fiber laser analysis tool. The resulting product will be a user-friendly software package that uses as-drawn fiber properties as inputs and provides predictions of the time-dependent kinetics, pump absorption, laser light propagation, and thermal field along the fiber. Approved for Public Release | 19-MDA-10270 (18 Nov 19)

  6. Methodologies for Cost-Effective Measurement of Dynamic Material Properties for Carbon-Carbon Composites

    SBC: MENTIS SCIENCES INC            Topic: MDA18010

    To meet MDA’s need for cost effective dynamic material evaluation techniques, Mentis Sciences Inc. proposes to modify a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus to achieve and gather dynamic material response data at strain rates above 107s-1 and at temperatures up to and exceeding 1000°C to provide data for first-principles hydro-codes modeling in a laboratory environment. The focus in Ph ...

  7. Contamination-Free, Lightweight, Helium-Rubidium Vapor Circulator for DPAL Systems

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: MDA12018

    Diode-Pumped Alkali Laser (DPAL) systems have great potential for missile defense and other applications. These systems require a uniform, steady, flowing mixture of helium and rubidium vapor at elevated pressure and temperature. Significant challenges exist because rubidium is a very reactive material. Our team has developed a contamination-free, hermetic circulator based on gas-bearing turbomach ...

  8. Control Electronics for Space-Qualified Cryogenic Coolers

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: MDA17T003

    Future space missions will utilize small spacecraft with advanced sensor systems. Cooling of these sensors is required to decrease noise and increase sensitivity by maintaining the detector at a reduced operating temperature. The cooling system comprises a mechanical cryocooler and its control electronics, both of which are critical technologies to enable future missions. Creare proposes to develo ...

  9. Control Electronics for Space-Qualified Cryogenic Coolers

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: MDA17T003

    Future MDA space missions will utilize small spacecraft with correspondingly small, advanced sensor systems. Cooling of these sensors is required to decrease detector noise and increase detector sensitivity by maintaining the detector at a reduced operating temperature. The cooling system comprises a mechanical cryocooler and its control electronics, both of which are critical technologies to enab ...

  10. Green Monopropellant Thruster TRL Maturation Scaling Effort

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: MDA12T008

    Diode-Pumped Alkali Lasers (DPALs) have great potential for high-energy lasers. Proper design of these systems is challenging because many interrelated processes impact their performance, and critical kinetic rate coefficients are not well known. In response, our team is developing a comprehensive physics-based analysis/design tool, and experimentally determining key kinetic rate coefficients. The ...
