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 Compression of Infrared Data

    SBC: NUMERICA CORPORATION            Topic: AF131070

    ABSTRACT: Data compression schemes generally fall into two main categories: lossless and lossy. Lossless schemes promise to provide an uncompressed file which is identical before and after compression. As lossless schemes must be able to reconstruct every feature of the original file they often provide modest compression ratios. In fact, it is easy to show that no lossless compression scheme ...

  2. Compact Radar Antenna

    SBC: FIRST RF CORPORATION            Topic: N132087

    Directed electromagnetic (RF, microwave and millimeter wave) energy offers unique and flexible options for non-lethal weapons, but the technology for these systems needs to achieve smaller and lighter packaging. Of particular interest are the Multi-frequency RF Vehicle Stopper at L-Band and the Active Denial Array at W-Band. The antennas currently employed for these systems are large reflectors th ...

  3. Simultaneous multi-beam high-bandwidth conformal tactical data link antenna systems

    SBC: FIRST RF CORPORATION            Topic: N132089

    n this Phase I effort, FIRST RF will develop and evaluate concepts enabling highly directive multi-beam TCDL communications using phased arrays integrated on the Fire Scout UAV platform. Phased array systems allow for dynamic beam steering with graceful degradation. The use of multibeam arrays will allow the Fire Scout and other UAV platforms to augment fleet communications, supporting information ...

  4. Cost Effective Solar Array based on High Efficiency Thin-Film Technology

    SBC: COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT, INC.            Topic: AF13AT06

    ABSTRACT: This Phase I effort will involve the development of an ultra low cost, high specific power, modular and flexible solar array module using currently available thin-film solar cells, innovative interconnects, and flexible encapsulation. The high efficiency thin-film solar cells will enable high specific power and flexibility in the module. The interconnect scheme and encapsulation will a ...

  5. Improved Estimation Approaches for High-Accuracy Satellite Detection, Tracking, Identification, and Characterization

    SBC: NUMERICA CORPORATION            Topic: AF131076

    ABSTRACT: Numerica is proposing to extend its mature multiple hypothesis tracking (MHT) technology by providing additional estimation and data fusion algorithms to support improved space object detection, tracking, identification, and characterization. An extended program would aim to develop a feature-aided MHT (FA-MHT) capability that (i) exploits both kinematic and feature data including light ...

  6. Liquid Crystal on Silicon Based Compact Multi-Spectral Scene Projector Technology

    SBC: BOULDER NONLINEAR SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: AF131185

    ABSTRACT: The proposed effort will perform a feasibility study on developing a multispectral scene projector from 0.4µm to 5µm, using liquid crystal on Silicon (LCoS) spatial light modulators (SLMs). BNS has successfully developed scene projector technology using this approach previously. A modular approach will be considered in which additional spectral band scene projector arms (SPAs) can be ...

  7. Determining Evaporative Duct and Boundary Layer Refractivity Profile in Optical and RADAR/Radio Wavebands Afloat

    SBC: Dakota Ridge R&D LLC            Topic: N132141

    Oceanic refractivity gradients induce operational and security concerns of naval operations. Continuous passive characterization of refractive effects upon visble, IR, and radio/RADAR electromagnetic propagation through passive relatively inexpensive multiband IR camera observations is enabled with the apparatus and methods proposed herein.

  8. Common Bus Interface Adapter Chip

    SBC: DESIGN NET ENGINEERING LLC            Topic: AF121068

    ABSTRACT: A key problem in the rapid and lower cost development of spacecraft is that the various devices that comprise the spacecraft bus do not typically provide a single standard interface and/or communications protocols. This forces a design-to-order paradigm in which a spacecraft bus is developed on a per-mission basis with little reuse of existing software. Efforts such as SOA have defined ...

  9. A Universal Battery Management System with Advanced Diagnostic Algorithms

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N113177

    Electric ships and other Naval applications employing batteries (and ultracapacitors) for energy storage need a universal battery management system (BMS) that can diagnose device degradation and ensure safe operation. The Navy currently faces a difficult situation; where each energy storage device has a dedicated BMS, often with limited diagnostic abilities. TDA will develop a modular BMS with uni ...

  10. Micro Airborne Relay Technology

    SBC: Airborne Innovations LLC            Topic: AF131175

    ABSTRACT: We propose to develop a compact and very capable micro airborne relay system which will will extend broadband communications range and provide the ability to transfer multiple HD video and data streams beyond the horizon. We can leverage technology we have previously developed which will allow us to easily demonstrate feasibility and specify a new system designed for the relay task, as ...
