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. Low-Cost Polymer-Derived Zirconium-Silicate CMC for Rocket Nozzle Applications

    SBC: Composite Factory, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    NASA has identified a need to reduce weight and cost of cooled composite nozzle ramps. A lightweight actively cooled ceramic matrix composite (CMC) system would be lighter than metallic designs and would require significantly less cooling during re-entry. Composite Factory proposes a zirconium-silicate or Zr-Si-O glass CMC with integral ceramic tubes reinforced with a low cost discontinuous cerami ...

  2. Atmospheric Pressure Penning Ionization Detector for Gas Analysis

    SBC: GlimmerGlass Science            Topic: N/A

    A new analytical technique is proposed which will provide direct molecular identification of gas mixture components. This method is based on the measurement of electron energy liberated by Penning Ionization in a gas discharge. Penning Ionization is the same process used in Metastable Ionization Detectors (MID). The proposed approach however, rather than simply counting the number of ions or elect ...

  3. Comet Nucleus Source Sampler

    SBC: Honeybee Robotics, Ltd.            Topic: N/A

    A new type of planetary body sample acquisition tool called a Comet Nucleus Surface Sampler is proposed for development. The initial proposed use of this innovation is for comet surface sampling but the system can be applied to asteroids and Mars too. This invention allows for direct sampling of a comet nucleus surface employing a touch and go spacecraft. By avoiding a landing, the in situ study o ...

  4. Innovative Automated Morse Code System

    SBC: INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONIC MACHINES CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    In the Phase I of the proposed effort, IEM will produce an innovative automatic CW Morse Code system which will operate on a HF radio. The proposed system will be low power, small, light weight and useable by typical personnel. IEM will perform anexhaustive search for all components to look for suitable COTS solutions. Innovative approaches, designs, and solutions will then be combined with COTS s ...

  5. Polyimide Ionomer Nanocomposite for Aerospace Structures and Part Fabrication

    SBC: IMITEC, INC            Topic: N/A

    We propose to modify thermoplastic polyimides by reducing molecular weight, incorporating ionic terminations and nanoparticulate clay to deliver new composite materials with exceptional properties. A clay nanomer will be combined with thermoplastic ionomerically terminated polyimides to produce melt fabricable nanocomposites. Ionomeric polyimides have not previously been available to the composite ...

  6. Crashworthy Seat Cushion Replacement

    SBC: J B DWERLKOTTE ASSOCIATES INC            Topic: N/A

    Dynamically certified seats (16g seats) are being fielded in all jet transports certified since 1988. In addition, the airlines are steadily replacing their older seats with 16g compatible seats in the older aircraft certified prior to that date. The implementation of the dynamic seat requirements has encountered one unanticipated problem. Under normal use, seat cushions must be replaced with iden ...

  7. Compliant Foil Seal for Gas Turbine Engines

    SBC: MOHAWK INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Compliant surface non-contacting foil seals (CSFS) with the ability to operate under large rotor excursions, high temperatures and pressure differentials without loss of performance have the potential to make significant improvements in gas turbine engine performance, operability and reliability. However, high-temperature, long-life coatings, improved design analysis and scalable designs are neede ...

  8. Compliant Foil Hybrid Bearings for Gas Turbine Engines

    SBC: MOHAWK INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY, INC.            Topic: N/A

    MiTi proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of developing a high performance oil-free bearings suitable for application to commercial, general aviation and military gas turbine engines. These novel journal bearings are based on compliant foil bearings and magnetic bearings. Key elements of the bearing system are the increase in compliant foil bearings to sizes approaching 150 mm and the ability t ...

  9. Conceptual Design for Video Rate Pixon Image Processing Hardware

    SBC: PIXON LLC            Topic: N/A

    The astronomical community recognizes the Pixon(TM) method as the highest performance image reconstruction method ever developed. In addition to tremendous performance gains relative to competing methods (factors of several in resolution, orders of magnitude in sensitivity and robust artifact rejection), the Pixon method is much faster than standard non-linear methods (orders of magnitude). By nat ...

  10. Innovative Thermal Protection System Approach to Reduce Parasitic Structures

    SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY, LTD.            Topic: N/A

    An opportunity exists to combine the structural elements of advanced launch vehicles with their thermal protection system (TPS) to create an integrated system, free of parasitic stand-offs and supports. An attractive approach, based on the marriage of two exciting technologies: continuously-brazed aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) and thermally-insulating carbon foam, can result in a more weight e ...
