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. Asynchronous Multi-transmitter Multi-aperture Synthetic 3D Imaging System

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: NGA183001

    Traditional active 3D imaging systems, such as airborne and terrestrial lidar scanners, use a transmitter and receiver typically co-located on the same platform and connected in synchronous communications. However, recent advances in laser, detector, and airborne systems technology have opened the door to smaller, higher-performance and significantly lower-cost airborne lidar systems in which it i ...

  2. Automating Procedural Modeling of Buildings from Point Cloud Data

    SBC: DIGNITAS TECHNOLOGIES, LLC            Topic: NGA183002

    Newer techniques in data collection such as Lidar and photogrammetry can provide large quantities of accurate and up-to-date source data models in operational areas, but transforming this often massive amount of raw source data into a lightweight 3D representation that can be quickly consumed by defense customers using a web browser or mobile devices remains a challenging problem. While point clou ...

  3. SURFER: SAR Unsupervised and Robust Feature ExtractoR

    SBC: THE DESIGN KNOWLEDGE COMPANY LLC            Topic: NGA191001

    The NGA requires an automatic, unsupervised SAR feature extraction (AUFE) technique, that can ultimately be deployed for geospatial analysis, modeling, and target detection. Our proposed “SAR Unsupervised and Robust Feature ExtractoR” (SURFER) solution includes in Phase I: (1) a sound and deterministic assessment of the underlying RF phenomenology and SAR processing theoretical basis for effec ...

  4. Collaborative Recommender System for Spatio-Temporal Intelligence Documents

    SBC: RAJI BASKARAN LLC            Topic: NGA191005

    NLP pipelines available today are getting robust for general language modeling purposes. But domain-specific data, abbreviations and lingos, and text about time or space still need a lot of tuning and training that are well beyond application of standard tool sets. Deep learning for recommendation engines is quite new, and all recommender systems, in particular for specially trained users, tend to ...

  5. A User-Centric Gamified Crowdsourcing System for Geospatial Analysts

    SBC: 361 INTERACTIVE LLC            Topic: NGA191007

    Creating comprehensive geospatial datasets requires that National Geospatial Agency (NGA) analysts spend large amounts of time searching for, delineating, and labeling non-moving features in overhead imagery. This tiresome and tedious task can negatively impact not only the analysts’ work satisfaction but also the resulting data quality. Fortunately, recent advances in gamification and crowdsour ...

  6. Multi-hop processing for OTHR range extension

    SBC: DECIBEL RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: NGA191011

    The development of sophisticated anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities by our adversaries requires us to develop long range capabilities to mitigate this A2/AD threat. Extending the range of Over The Horizon Radars beyond their conventional single hop operating mode will potentially provide coverage out to 10000 km and beyond. We propose combining existing state-of-the art HF radar ray prop ...

  7. Enhanced Canine Performance, Protection and Survivability

    SBC: Metro International Biotech, LLC            Topic: SOCOM172002

    Given the benefits of exercise on general health, orally active compounds that can mimic or potentiate the effects of exercise have been of keen interest as therapeutic and dietary ingredients. Our proposed approach for enhancement of USSOCOM Multi-Purpose Canine (MPC) endurance and sensory performance using an exercise mimetic is based on the observation that age-related decline of nicotinamide ...

  8. Foreign Like Weapon Production Capability

    SBC: KNIGHT'S ARMAMENT COMPANY            Topic: SOCOM172003

    In the proposed effort, KAC will establish a process for reverse engineering and redesigning foreign weapons, primarily the 7.62x54R PKM and the 12.7x108mm NSV. Our engineers will use laser scanning to reverse engineer weapons from our on-site museum. We will reverse engineer the bolt from the PKM in order to demonstrate the viability of the laser scanner, our engineers, and our machine shop to co ...

  9. Group 2 (<55lbs) Unmanned Aerial System for Special Operations Forces Tactical-Level Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Operations

    SBC: SEALANDAIRE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: SOCOM172005

    SeaLandAire Technologies, Inc. (SLA) proposes to meet this Group 2 need with an electric drive concept that will be capable of a 20-30 lbs. modular payload, with comparable range and endurance to current grp 2 ISR UAS, while still maintaining sufficient ISR capabilities. This UAS concept is able to covertly and safely deliver payload to within 1 meter accuracy, then extract a different payload an ...

  10. Group 2 (<55lbs) Unmanned Aerial System for Special Operations Forces Tactical-Level Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Operations

    SBC: Knight Technical Solutions, LLC            Topic: SOCOM172005

    The proposed Group 2 UAS is a long endurance fixed wing aircraft, a secure communications system and a portable ground station. The light weight aircraft features a high aspect ratio wing and is powered by an electric ducted fan for maximum efficiency. The modular aircraft system is one man portable and designed to be packed out on a molle backpack configuration. The conceptual airframe design ...
