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. Methane Harvesting for Seafloor Generation

    SBC: MAKAI OCEAN ENGINEERING INC            Topic: ST18C005

    Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are critical to DoD undersea missions including the future capabilities for sea and sub-sea forces communication and connectivity. AUV mission lengths are currently limited to 24 hours due to the prohibitive battery storage and AUV energy demands. Makai Ocean Engineering, with the University of Hawaii’s Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI), proposes to dev ...

  2. Multi-Physics Analysis Tool for High-Energy Gas Lasers

    SBC: Material Flow Solutions, Inc.            Topic: MDA16T001

    Based on the results of our Phase I work, one significant barrier to optimizing battery performance lies in understanding the relationship between bulk solids and particle flow properties and the flow into the die. Our hypothesis: an increase in quality batteries production can be achieved if powder preparation process can be optimized and the die filling process controlled. We feel that control o ...

  3. Carbon Nanotube-Based Heater Coatings for Processing of Thermosetting and Thermoplastic Composites

    SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP            Topic: N18BT031

    For this research program, Mainstream will collaborate with Colorado State University (CSU) to develop a nanostructured heater capable of curing aerospace grade composites out-of-autoclave (OOA). The use of autoclaves is the primary cost driver in composite manufacturing due to size limitations, long processing times, and inefficient energy usage. Therefore, the Navy is looking to develop a nanost ...

  4. Process to Mitigate Catastrophic Optical Damage to Quantum Cascade Lasers

    SBC: IRGLARE LLC            Topic: N19AT004

    The development of a catastrophic optical damage model for quantum cascade lasers describing instantaneous laser damage at high optical power levels is proposed. The model will be validated by comparison to experimental data. Based on obtained results, changes to laser design and laser fabrication resulting in an increased damage threshold will be implemented. The work will ultimately result into ...

  5. GECCO: Gecko-gripper for EOD with Cavitation Cleaning Operation

    SBC: VALOR ROBOTICS, LLC            Topic: N19AT011

    The objective of the Phase I proposal is to investigate the application of controlled cavitation cleaning technology in conjunction with gecko-inspired mechanical adhesion and soft elastomeric applicators for use in non-intrusive EOD operations. This investigation requires the proof-of-concept testing and validation of a controlled cavitation cleaning mechanism, and a soft robotic gecko-inspired m ...

  6. Novel Development of an Intelligent Quench Detection (QD) Method for HTS Coils

    SBC: TAI-YANG RESEARCH COMPANY            Topic: N19AT016

    Energy to Power Solutions (e2P) has teamed with quench detection (QD) expert Dr. Yuri Lvovsky (retired GE), Dr. Sastry Pamidi of the Center for Advanced Power Systems (FSU-CAPS), and American Superconductor Corporation (AMSC) to design, fabricate, and test a robust, reliable, and low cost QD system. e2P’s proposed system is a vastly different quench avoidance system that will provide multiple le ...

  7. Information-based Norms on Flow, Operations and Traffic Over Networks (INFOTON)

    SBC: ISEA TEK, LLC            Topic: N18AT027

    The Internet of Things (IoT) connects people, data, and "things" (e.g., software, sensors, platforms), facilitating the translation of information into actions. Although naval platforms’ networks and communication suites have evolved significantly in the past few years to support such required connectivity, one of the greatest technical challenges still facing the military community is the proce ...

  8. Temperature Sensing Submarine ISR Buoy / Surface Ship Sensor Tow Cable

    SBC: MAKAI OCEAN ENGINEERING INC            Topic: N18AT017

    The U.S. Navy currently utilizes a number of towed systems from surface ship and submarines for sensing and communication applications. In a number of these cases, a tow cable extends either down from a surface ship or up from a submarine through the upper part of the water column where seawater temperature can be both highly variable vs. depth and dynamic in time and geographic location. Having a ...

  9. Ultra Wideband Receiver (UWR) – Sample Clock Modulation

    SBC: OCEANIT LABORATORIES INC            Topic: AF18CT003

    Modern electronic warfare (EW) employs agile, dynamic, convert waveforms. It has become challenging for legacy electronic intelligence (ELINT) receivers to intercept such waveforms. To cover a wide frequency band, many frequencies must be scanned rapidly. Therefore, the probability of intercepting by the super heterodyne receiver is limited by the intermediate frequency (IF) bandwidth and tuning s ...

  10. Detection and Recognition of Airborne Chemicals Onboard (DRACO) a Small Unmanned Aircraft System (SUAS)

    SBC: RPX TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: AF19AT016

    This proposal seeks funding to develop a small unmanned air system capable of operating indoors, in confined spaces while detecting and recognizing airborne chemical compounds. All the obstacle avoidance, flight control, chemical detection and chemical recognition are done onboard the small unmanned system, in real-time, providing rapid feedback to the operator. The Detection and Recognition of Ai ...
