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. Development lightmap rendering technology to advance infrared simulation capabilities for training applications

    SBC: JRM ENTERPRISES, INC.            Topic: AF17AT012

    JRM Technologies proposes a new CUDA-based 3D thermal signature physics engine which combines real-time raytracing (photon-mapping) and localized temperature maps that together with new GPU shaders will better model the transient interactive coupling of dynamic thermal sources with affected 3D scene elements. To support this new physics engine, JRM proposes to leverage and extend its proven real- ...

  2. High Strain Composite Testing Methodologies

    SBC: MC Technologies LLC            Topic: AF17AT019

    An innovative loading stage design based on the principle of eccentric loading is proposed for mechanical testing of thin composites to impart precise mixtures uniaxial and bending stresses. In contrast to alternative designs, the mechanism is fully compatible with advanced experimental techniques such as three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) strain measurements and in situ micro X- ...

  3. Bayesian Inference of Spacecraft Geometry and Pose

    SBC: VISION SYSTEMS INC            Topic: AF17AT007

    Space platforms are complex dynamical systems and there are many reasons to model them from ground telescope imagery as well as from space-based sensor platforms. One key motivation is to determine the operational state and configuration of the vehicle. Key questions such as did the solar panels fail to deploy, did the object begin to tumble unexpectedly may be addressed by a sufficiently detaile ...

  4. Balloon-Based Disturbance Measurements in the Upper Atmosphere

    SBC: Tao Of Systems Integration Inc            Topic: AF16AT02

    For prediction of hypersonic aerothermodynamics, knowledge of the relevant disturbance levels is required to determine transition locations in flight at the altitudes of interest. Tao Systems and University of Maryland (UMD) propose to develop a flight platform and measurement system capable of acquiring pressure, temperature, density, velocity fluctuations, and particulates using a miniaturized, ...

  5. Sol-gel Based Matrix for Increased Stability of Therapeutic Reagents

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF15AT29

    ABSTRACT: The necessity of cold-chain transport is a critical deficiency for a large number of vaccines, therapeutics, and drugs. More than 17 million people die every year from infectious diseases, particularly in the developing world. Many of these deaths could be prevented by vaccination, however heat-sensitivity and the need for cold-chain transport has resulted in underutilization of vaccines ...

  6. Reverberation Mitigation of Speech

    SBC: VOCI TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED            Topic: AF15AT17

    ABSTRACT: Despite decades of research, machine hearing continues to be far less robust than human hearing. The difference is especially noticeable in reverberant environments which pose a critical limitation on the general utility of Human Language Technology. Voci Technologies Incorporated (Voci) is the leading small business developing accelerated Human Language Technology based solutions. Voci ...

  7. High Quality/Low Dimension Data for Sensor Integration

    SBC: METRON INCORPORATED            Topic: AF15AT16

    ABSTRACT: This project addresses the development and evaluation of high-quality low-dimensional (HQLD) sensor data selection and fusion (SDSF) algorithms. The objective is to develop algorithms that process the data from multiple sensors to reduce dimensionality while retaining the information content of the full-dimension data. An HQLD-SDSF algorithm will be developed within the context of a like ...

  8. Information Geometry beyond the Exponential Family

    SBC: FiskeTech, LLC            Topic: AF15AT16

    ABSTRACT: Information geometry treats families of probability distributions as curves or surfaces in an abstract space of probability distributions. Theoretical results from this field exist in multiple application domains and at least some real systems employ data fusion techniques based on this research. We propose the combination of techniques that have been developed and applied for different ...

  9. Cortical Processing Approaches to Mitigation of Reverberation in Speech

    SBC: IN-DEPTH ENGINEERING CORPORATION            Topic: AF15AT17

    ABSTRACT: Vocal communication in the real world often takes place in complex and noisy acoustic environments. For applications such as mobile communications or use of automated speech/speaker recognition algorithms on recorded data, the presence of noise and reverberation significantly degrades the quality and intelligibility of speech and severely hampers the performance of these systems. Approac ...

  10. Prediction and Measurement of the Carbon Build-Up in Film-Cooled Rocket Engines

    SBC: SIERRA ENGINEERING, INC.            Topic: AF15AT21

    ABSTRACT: Sierra Engineering Inc. (Sierra) believes that existing chemical kinetic models can be efficiently incorporated into commercial CFD codes to predict the mixing, pyrolysis, soot formation and carbon deposition within film cooled rocket engines. During this Phase I STTR effort we will demonstrate that this analysis capability is practical and that we can generate appropriate model validati ...
