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. Dual-Band SWIR/MWIR Cameras for Targeting Applications

    SBC: ATTOLLO ENGINEERING, LLC            Topic: N191039

    Attollo Engineering is proposing a compact dual-band SWIR/MWIR camera using an FPA with unique detector and ROIC capabilities. The camera will be HD (1280x1024) and have applications for targeting applications such as seekers and rifle scopes. The camera is capable of wide dynamic range to handle starlight flux up to high thermal flux. In Phase I, Attollo will perform trade studies and experimenta ...

  2. Open-Path, Self-Calibrating Cavity Ringdown System for Multi-Wavelength Optical Extinction Measurements

    SBC: NIKIRA LABS INC.            Topic: N191040

    In this Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, Nikira Labs Inc. proposes to develop an open-path, self-calibrating cavity ringdown system (CRDS) that can measure optical extinction at multiple visible and near-infrared wavelengths. The resulting instrument will supplant existing, scattering-based visibility sensors, and be used by the Navy for directed energy weapons (DEWs) and free-sp ...

  5. A Multi-Branch Network for Automated VNIIRS Assessment of Motion Imagery

    SBC: TOYON RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: NGA191003

    Due to the lack of consistency in existing automated methods for assigning VNIIRS levels to motion imagery, and the overwhelming human resources required to manually assign levels, a new method of automated/semi-automated VNIIRS assessment is needed. In recent years, advancements in deep learning have provided solutions to previously intractable computer vision problems. In many cases, automated d ...

  7. Low-Shot Detection in Remote Sensing Imagery

    SBC: TOYON RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: NGA172002

    Toyon Research Corporation proposes to develop algorithms that improve the precision and recall of neural networks for low-shot object classification and detection. Our approach is based upon developing a descriptive multi-domain feature representation of the low-shot target as well as the surrounding context. A multi-branch neural network merges the various domains of information to perform accur ...

  8. Generalized Change Detection to Cue Regions of Interest

    SBC: TOYON RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: NGA181006

    Toyon proposes to research and develop algorithms for generalized salient change detection, and to incorporate these algorithms into software tools implemented on the cloud. Our approach leverages the two most promising methods from Phase I, both based on supervised learning. The first method is the entropy-based feature vector and corresponding neural network, which we will apply at a coarse sear ...

  9. Optical Engine Bleed Air Detoxification System

    SBC: Physical Optics Corporation            Topic: N182098

    The Navy is seeking the development of a non-chemical/non-electrical discharge means to break down toxic hydrocarbons in aircraft breathing air systems. To address this need, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a novel Optical Engine Bleed Air Detoxification (Opti-BLADE) system based on photolysis and photocatalytic oxidation. This novel combination allows for efficient detoxific ...

  10. Internal Antireflection Coatings for Aerodynamic Missile Domes

    SBC: SURFACE OPTICS CORP.            Topic: N182105

    The use of an antireflection coating can potentially increase the 85% MWIR transparency of polycrystalline alumina ogive missile domes to further transmit IR radiation while protecting the sensor from heat. However, the unique structure of the dome creates a coating challenge for traditionally line of sight physical vapor deposition processes. Additionally, the usage profile dictates high durabili ...
