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. Principal Components for Structural Acoustics Analysis

    SBC: ACTA, LLC            Topic: N/A

    The proposed innovation is a new computational and analytical structural acoustic technique for aircraft interior noise prediction. Its innovative quality resides in the unifying theory by which conventional finite element analysis (FEA) and statistical energy analysis (SEA) are related through the use of Principal Components (PC) analysis. This linking of FEA and SEA methods provides the ability ...

  2. Large-Area, Low-Cost, High-Resolution X-ray Detector and Electron Amplifier

    SBC: ADELPHI TECHNOLOGY INC            Topic: N/A

    This Phase I Small Business Innovation Research proposal will develop porous dielectrics as a low-cost, large-area detector for high spatial resolution x-ray detection. An alternative to microchannel plates, porous dielectric electron amplifiers are formed by a thin layer, generally less than 1 mm, of a low density dielectric. The microscopic pores formed in such material, provide a natural, but m ...

  3. Heatpipe Power System (HPS) In-Space Fueling, A Simplified Approach

    SBC: Advanced Methods & Materials (AMM)            Topic: N/A

    A major objection to the use of nuclear energy for space applications is the perceived risk involved in the launching of a fully fueled nuclear reactor. Even when it is pointed out that the fuel is in fact not radioactive, concerns persist. It is acknowledged that to design a reactor able to withstand all conceivable launch accidents would result in an impractical heavy design. To avoid the above ...

  4. Detection of Corrosion Under Space Shuttle Tiles

    SBC: Aracor            Topic: N/A

    This project will develop a practical, nondestructive inspection technique for the detection of corrosion hidden under the reusable surface insulation tiles found in thermal protection systems. This technique is based on an innovative use of x-ray interactions to discriminate low levels of corrosion from airframe structural materials, such as magnesium, aluminum, and titanium alloys. A second inno ...

  5. Performance Improvements to Dimensionally-Stable Articulated Deployable Mast

    SBC: AEC-Able Engineering Company, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    In SAR and radar interferometric altimeter instruments, the transmit / receiving antennas are separated as far apart as possible to increase resolution in the signal. This requires a stiff and dimensionally stable deployable mast to provide the necessary length between the two radar antennas. Deployable mast length is constrained by available stowage volume, spacecraft platform attitude control co ...

  6. Thin Film PV UltraFlex Solar Array System

    SBC: AEC-Able Engineering Company, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    Thin film photovoltaics (PV) solar array systems offer significant mass and cost saving benefits for current and future space-flight missions. Much progress has been made in the development of thin film CIGS and amorphous silicon PV devices, however their integration into a solar array system has lagged. As these PV devices have evolved, ABLE has spent a significant amount of effort in developing ...

  7. Large Coilable Shape Memory Composite Truss

    SBC: AEC-Able Engineering Company, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    AEC-Able Engineering Co., Inc. (ABLE) has invented a method for inclusion of elastic shape memory composite (EMC) elements in a high-performance ultra-light deployable coilable truss (CT) with ultra-low stowed volume. The performance of the heritage ¿CoilABLE¿ mast system can be increased 100x in bending stiffness and 10,000x in strength, for an equal mass per unit length. The proposed program w ...

  8. Real-Time Centimeter-Accuracy GPS Based Location Revisiting in Open Water

    SBC: AMERICAN GNC CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    In order to research and monitor the ecology or environmental changes of a water area, efforts are involved in the areas of data collection, management, biological communities and habitat, bottom sediment, and air and chemical depositions. To exactly research the ecosystem of a certain water area, the research crew has to return to the same area to collect data. Especially, in an open water area, ...

  9. Java Based Information Exchange Support System

    SBC: AMERICAN GNC CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    This system is intended to develop a novel structure to support the onboard information exchange. This structure is based on Internet related techniques, which are very popular in many areas of applications, and have been proven to be commercially successful. Based on Internet related techniques, the system is modularized, and compatible with the current Internet related standards. Leveraging the ...

  10. Autonomous Docking with the Laser Dynamic Range Imager Optical Sensor

    SBC: AMERICAN GNC CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    This Phase I proposal develops a novel technology to automate the process of docking the Shuttle to the International Space Station (ISS). This technology is based on the Laser Dynamic Range Imager (LDRI) and a cross-plane point tracking algorithm. The LDRI provides the range measurement from the laser unit to the field of view for far or near inspection distances. The LDRI is a dynamic adaptation ...
