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. Fiber Optic Systems for Light Curing Rigidization of Inflatable Structures

    SBC: Adherent Technologies, Inc.            Topic: E201

    Light (UV and visible) curing composite matrix resins are being explored as an attractive means for rigidizing inflatable spacecraft for large space-deployed structures such as solar sails, radar and communications antennas, radiometers, and solar arrays. Light curing provides a controlled, clean, low power rigidization technology to harden these inflatable spacecraft once they have achieved the ...

  2. Precision Constellation Position Determination

    SBC: AVTEC SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: S301

    For a distributed aperture sensor, especially at infrared and optical wavelengths, the relative position of the aperture components must be known and controlled precisely. When the aperture components are on separate independent spacecraft, determining the relative range and bearing is the challenge our proposed innovation addresses. The estimation of the relative range and bearing will be used ...

  4. Analytical and Simulation Framework for Performance Validation of Complex Systems

    SBC: BARRON ASSOCIATES, INC.            Topic: A701

    To remain competitive, the US aerospace industry must continually improve system performance (e.g. increased adaptation and autonomy), enhance safety (e.g., fault tolerant systems), and reduce costs. These improvements demand avionics software that is orders of magnitude more complex than that used in current operational systems. While software complexity is increasing, there is a tremendous (an ...

  5. Slowed Rotor/Compound Vertical Takeoff and Landing Personal Air Vehicle

    SBC: CARTER AVIATION TECHNOLOGIES, LLC            Topic: T701

    slowed rotor / compound (SL/C) aircraft offer VTOL combined with fixed-wing flight-efficiencies. They are safer than any other type aircraft -- with much lower acquisition, maintenance and operational cost than helicopters and tiltrotors. Carter Aviation Technologies began developing SL/C aircraft in 1994 and began flying a prototype, the CarterCopter Technology Demonstrator (CCTD) in 1998. Thi ...

  7. Laser Power Transmission Employing a Dual-Use Photovoltaic Concentrator at the Receiving End

    SBC: ENTECH, Inc.            Topic: F305

    The proposed innovation is a wireless laser power transmission system employing a dual-use photovoltaic concentrator at the receiving end. Specifically, the laser receiver/converter employs thin Fresnel lenses to focus continuous or pulsed laser light onto small photovoltaic cells, thereby reducing cell cost and improving cell conversion efficiency (> 70% near term). The dual-use approach employ ...

  8. High Spatial Resolution shape Sensing for Adaptive Aerospace Vehicles

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: A701

    It is accepted that adaptive aerospace vehicles whose flight avionic systems are reconfigurable are needed to respond to changing flight parameters, vehicle system performance degradation, or external threat environments. To this end shape modification of aerospace structures during flight can provide significant performance improvements derived from matching the aerodynamic shape to particular fl ...

  10. Integrated Fiber Optic Sensor and Modeling System

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: T801

    Advanced space fission systems are being developed as safe and affordable space propulsion alternatives for long-term space exploration. The characterization of non-nuclear test core simulators is limited by the lack of instrumentation options available for temperature and strain measurements. Luna Innovations proposes to develop sensors based on a fiber Bragg grating system for temperature and ...
