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. Hybird 3-D Textile Gradient Density and Fluted Preforms for C-SiC Structural TPS

    SBC: 3TEX, Inc.            Topic: AF04033

    Thermal protection materials have been largely parasitic materials adhered to airframe structural materials beneath. Attachment of such disparate and largely non-load-bearing materials incurs weight penalties and encourages failures. Integrated preforms providing enhanced thermal management, improved shock resistance/integrity and thereby enable more efficient re-entry profiles. This project will ...

  2. 3 Dimensional Nano-Scale Reinforcement Architecture for Advanced Composite Structures

    SBC: 3TEX, Inc.            Topic: AF04T020

    Three-dimensional woven and braided fiber architectures provide important advantages to composites, including suppression of delamination, high damage tolerance, improved through-the-thickness properties, simplicity and cost-effectiveness of manufacturing complex composite structural components. However, in order to diversify applications and reach high volumes of utilization of these materials in ...

  3. Single ply 3Dwoven Functionally Gradient Multi-Fiber / Multi-Matrix Composites with Thermal Management Systems

    SBC: 3TEX, Inc.            Topic: AF04249

    Common screwdrivers graduate from a locally hard tip to a globally ductile shaft. Likewise, hybrid metallic molds have been produced which have conductive alloys in strategic locations leading heat to appropriate sinks. Fiber composite structures have also been made with more brittle high temperature layers and inlays. Unfortunately, lamination of disparate materials in such composites incurs weig ...

  4. Robust Bearings and Gears

    SBC: ARCOMAC SURFACE ENGINEERING, LLC            Topic: AF04142

    Critical gears and engine bearings in our newest vertical thrust aircraft must operate with absolute reliability under high loads, high heat, corrosive salt air and intervals without any lubricant whatever. Current materials and coatings that meet some of these conditions fail when subjected to the others. Now a breakthrough in surface engineering technology can precisely control deposition of c ...

  5. HELIKITE ELEVATED PLATFORM- TEST RELAY

    SBC: CAROLINA UNMANNED VEHICLES INCORPORATED            Topic: AF03243

    The Air Force requires a new cost effective methods of deploying a test relay capability over long ranges. To meet this need Carolina Unmanned Vehicles, Inc. will develop the Helikite Elevated Platform - test Relay (HEP-TR), consisting of a small tethered blimp mounted in a special Carrier that allows operation by only two people. It can be towed by a HMMWV or other small vehicle. Other HEP-TR ...

  6. Advanced Development of a CWDM/TDM Sensor Network for Second Generation Fly-By-Light Systems

    SBC: DIGITAL OPTICS CORP.            Topic: AF03235

    The objectives of this proposed Phase II project are to develop the appropriate optics for an 8 wavelength CWDM system and demonstrate both the multiplexed data link and the integration of the link with an aircraft actuator. Fly-by-light (FBL) systems have been the subject of research for many years; however, there are still several hurdles to overcome before FBL systems can provide the next adva ...

  7. A DNA Taggant Watermarking System

    SBC: EAGLE EYE, INC.            Topic: AF04124

    We address a key challenge in many military and commercial systems: the tracking of materials and/or documents, and the certification of their origin(watermarking). We use libraries of taggants composed of synthetic DNA, where: (i) the number of distinct taggants are scalable to the millions and more, (ii) the taggants are not easily detectable without certain secret information, but (iii) with t ...

  8. Initial Demonstration of High-Brightness IR (1.8-1.9 µm) Strain-Compensated InGaAsP/InGaAs QW Lasers

    SBC: EpiWorks, Inc.            Topic: AF04010

    The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate 1.8 - 1.9 µm high-power, InP-based pump lasers.

  9. Aircraft Corrosion Inspection by Electromagnetic Induction Spectroscopy

    SBC: GEOPHEX, LTD.            Topic: AF04274

    This SBIR Phase I proposal will investigate a new methodology known as electromagnetic induction spectroscopy (EMIS) as a means of detecting and characterizing hidden corrosion in multi-layered airframe structures. This technique, in contrast to traditional single-frequency eddy current methods, records the in-phase and quadrature response of a specimen over a broad range of frequencies. The metho ...

  10. High Power Quantum Cascade Lasers for Terahertz Applications

    SBC: MP Technologies, LLC            Topic: AF03T024

    It is here proposed to investigate quantum cascade laser technology for THz (0.3 - 7.5 THz) applications. Various material systems based on InP and GaAs will be studied theoretically and experimentally with respect to their suitability for laser growth. Material growth, following the design, will be done in-house using gas-source molecular beam epitaxy. Material characterization will be used to ...
