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. Simulation of Stressing Optical Clutter for Scene Generation

    SBC: ATMOSPHERIC & ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: MDA04154

    This effort will characterize the spatial structure and real world features of stressing atmospheric phenomena and develop techniques to efficiently represent these phenomena in optical/infrared background models. Our approach to this problem involves locating and identifying stressing backgrounds contained in measurements and extracting key clutter characteristics in a form that allows t ...

  2. Photonic T/R Module

    SBC: AGILTRON, INC.            Topic: MDA04182

    Leveraging on Agiltron's recent breakthrough in manufacturing low cost fiber optic digital delay lines and the drastic improvement in cost and performance of commercial optical transceivers, we propose to develop a practical fiber optic variable time delay based T/R integration module for microwave coherent distributed aperture and space-time coded phased array radars. The proposed approach overco ...

  3. Improved Spectroscopic Gamma Ray Detectors

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: HSB051002

    Spread of the weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons is a serious threat in the world today. Prevention of the spread of radioactive materials and nuclear weapons has reached a state of heightened urgency in recent years, especially since the events on September 11, 2001 and its aftermath. Gamma ray spectrometers are an important tool in homeland defense and monitoring to check the sp ...

  4. High Efficiency, Room Temperature Semiconductor Detectors

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: HSB051002

    Prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons has reached a state of heightened urgency since the events on September 11, 2001. Gamma ray spectrometers are important tools in homeland security to check the spread of nuclear materials and weapons. Important requirements for gamma ray spectrometers used in this application include good energy resolution, high detection efficiency, compact size, light ...

  5. Portable, High Resolution Gamma Ray Imaging System for Radioisotope Detection, Localization and Identification

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: HSB052006

    Preventing the entry of radioactive materials and nuclear weapons into the United States is at a state of heightened urgency in recent years. Detecting and identifying potentially dangerous radioactive sources is difficult and better spectroscopic gamma ray imaging systems would significantly help in securing the borders of the country. The ability of gamma cameras to image radioactive sources pro ...

  6. Low Cost, Wide Band Infrared Window Technologies

    SBC: Aspen Systems, Inc.            Topic: MDA04114

    Aspen Systems Inc., proposes to investigate the feasibility of developing a protective coating material for ZnS that will have comparable mechanical properties of ALON, Spinel and Sapphire but will retain the extended regime transmission properties of multi-spectral ZnS. However, ZnS being a soft material with relatively poor mechanical strength and erosion resistance, it is essential to develop a ...

  7. Simple Colloid Thruster for Generating Precise Impulse Thrust

    SBC: BUSEK CO., INC.            Topic: MDA04019

    For the Phase I effort, Busek developed a simple, integrated colloid thruster prototype capable of producing thrust of 100 µN at reasonable operating conditions. A unique geometry was chosen from several electrospraying sources tested. This thrust was conservatively estimated from measured beam current, accelerating voltage and could be significantly higher. As this was achieved from an area o ...

  8. New Bonding Process for Joining High Tenacity Fabrics in Airships

    SBC: Cape Cod Research            Topic: MDA04161

    A new generation of high altitude airships (HAA) requires advanced materials and fabrication methods to achieve the weight, strength and durability requirement for long-term deployment. A new fabric joining approach is proposed to form strong, durable seams between textile components without incurring a large weight penalty. The new textile adhesive and application system are designed to perform ...

  9. Sensor Network Optimization using Multi-Agent Negotiation (SNOMAN)

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: MDA04023

    Missile defense takes place in an unpredictable, real-time environment and thus requires an adaptive approach to optimization that dynamically allocates sensors and their supporting resources in response to changing goals and constraints. Here, we propose a system for Sensor Network Optimization using Multi-Agent Negotiation (SNOMAN) to meet the challenge of this real-time resource allocation prob ...

  10. Rapid Low Vapor Pressure Chemical Detection Using a Hand-held Artificial Nose

    SBC: CogniScent, Inc.            Topic: HSB041001

    The Phase II SBIR research proposed here extends and expands upon the results from our successful Phase I research to develop a hand-held electronic nose capable of rapid, sensitive, and accurate detection and identification of a broad range of low vapor pressure (LVP) compounds. The overall goal of this R&D effort is to optimize detection of LVP compounds by improving system signal-to-noise throu ...
