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. Requirements-Based Cost Models

    SBC: INRAD            Topic: OSD05CM3

    This SBIR Phase II, Requirements-Based Cost Models, will develop software to enable cost managers to extrapolate costs of complex systems with higher fidelity than current approaches. Identifying the true costs of transitioning technologies from concept to production is complicated by many factors, from the lack of a known cost basis from which to estimate new requirements to difficulties in ide ...

  3. Modeling and Simulation for Robust Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) Manufacturing Processes

    SBC: ALTASIM TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: AF081038

    Increasing the power density of current jet aircraft engines requires the replacement of conventional high temperature materials by new materials capable of operating at higher temperatures. Ceramics and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) represent excellent candidates for increased use in hot engine parts due to their ability to withstand temperatures in excess of 2000 C. Due to the complexity of t ...

  6. Develop High-Temperature, Low-Humidity Aromatic Hydrocarbon-based H2/O2 Membranes for Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cells

    SBC: AKRON POLYMER SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: AF071130

    In order to achieve high performance at acceptable cost, PEM fuel cells are required to work at elevated temperature and low relative humidity (near 0 RH) for extended periods of time. However, to date, no commercial PEMs or publicly reported PEMs can meet these requirements. The objectives of this work are: (1) to develop PEMs that have high proton conductivities (50-100 mS/cm) and low area-spec ...

  7. A REGENERATOR FOR INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF LOW TEMPERATURE CRYOCOOLERS

    SBC: Alabama Cryogenic Engineering, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    MANY MATERIALS, SUCH AS DOPED SI AND GE, REQUIRE LOW OPERATING TEMPERATURES FOR OPERATION. ELEMENTAL SUPERCONDUCTORS, SUCH AS NB, MUST BE OPERATED BELOW THEIR TRANSITION TEMPERATURES, WHICH DO NOT EXCEED 9 KELVIN. THE EXISTING CRYOCOOLER CYCLES, EVEN IF THEY CAN REACH THESE TEMPERATURES, ARE VERY INEFFICIENT BECAUSE OF POOR REGENERATOR PERFORMANCE. THE PROPOSED EFFORT COVERS THE DEVELOPMENT, USING ...

  8. DETERMINATION OF EFFECTS OF INTEROPERABILITY ISSUES ON INTRATHEATER AIRLIFT

    SBC: AMERICAN METAL PROCESSING, INC.            Topic: N/A

    BETTER METHODS TO DELIVER AND DISSEMINATE CARGO ARE NECESSARY TO FULLY EXPLOIT THE CAPABILITIES OF FUTURE INTRATHEATER AIRLIFTERS. THE ARMY'S AND AIR FORCE RENEWED EMPHASIS ON MOBILITY WILL REQUIRE GREATER PRODUCTIVITY BY TRANSPORTATION RESOURCES TO ACHIEVE NATIONAL OBJECTIVES. THE NECESSITATES A MORE THOROUGHLY-INTEGRATED TRANSPORTATION NETWORK. ADVANCED TECHNOLGIES, MATERIALS, AND INNOVATIVE ENG ...

  9. Environmentally Friendly Cleaning for Titanium Welds and Brazing

    SBC: APPLICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES CO.LLC            Topic: AF06326

    The first critical step in welding or brazing is cleaning to remove surface contamination. The Air Force has a need for an environmentally cleaning method that has no waste stream, minimal requirements of personal safety protection, and does not impact component integrity. The Arc Scrubber is an emerging non-chemical cleaning technology that utilizes and electrical arc to remove surface contamin ...

  10. Unresolved Resident Space Object Characterization Using Time-Frequency Analysis

    SBC: APPLIED OPTIMIZATION, INC.            Topic: AF071283

    Applied Optimization, Inc. [AO] proposes to demonstrate full feature characterization of unresolved RSOs by performing spectral unmixing and time-frequency analysis of its time and spectrally resolved signature in the visible or infrared spectrum. The characterization will be performed step-by-step by following a taxonomy of feature extraction. Materials identification will be performed via spectr ...
