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. Accurate and Efficient Computation of Electromagnetic Fields and Waves over Unbounded Regions in 3D

    SBC: COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCES LLC            Topic: AF081001

    The proposed project will rectify the current bottleneck in the simulation of 3D magnetic fields around high-current pulsed power devices. In the existing software, fields in the air are approximated by an artificial magnetic diffusion equation, which is both computationally expensive and nonphysical. The proposed solution avoids any nonphysical quantities and relies on exact conditions for the qu ...

  2. Accurate and Efficient Computation of Electromagnetic Fields and Waves over Unbounded Regions in 3D

    SBC: COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCES LLC            Topic: AF081001

    ABSTRACT: The proposed project will remove the computational bottleneck in the currently adopted numerical treatment of exterior 3D magnetic fields around high-current pulsed power devices. Existing simulators introduce computationally expensive and nonphysical magnetic diffusion in the exterior region. In contrast, our approach is physically and mathematically rigorous and dramatically improves ...

  3. Accurate, Stable Clock for Small Low Power Anti-Jam GPS User Equipment

    SBC: Kernco, Inc            Topic: AF06245

    Precision timekeeping is an essential enabling tool for all modern navigation, digital data transmission and telecommunications networks. In particular; rapid direct acquisition of the GPS Y-code in the presence of deliberate jamming is important for a wide variety of weapon systems. Legacy atomic clock solutions are too large and consume too much power to be routinely integrated into stressful ...

  4. Achieving SSA Through Representation of Meta-information and Intelligent Search Technology (ASTROMIST)

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: AF081017

    A critical element of our global military dominance is the overwhelming capabilities afforded by the US military space segment. Successful space operations are dependent upon accurate and actionable space situational awareness (SSA), a concept that goes beyond simple cataloging of the location and orbit of objects in space to include the ability to identify and discriminate natural and man-made ph ...

  5. A Coaxial High Energy Thruster for Defensive Space Applications

    SBC: BUSEK CO., INC.            Topic: AF07T036

    In this program, Busek Co. Inc and Stanford University will develop and demonstrate a multi-mode high power plasma gun that can be used for both space propulsion and as a counter-measure against space debris or potentially hostile spacecraft. Investigations of this Coaxial High Energy (CHENG) thruster in the 1980's showed that it can damage a target. Because it is efficient over a wide range of ...

  6. A Coaxial High Energy Thruster for Defensive Space Applications

    SBC: BUSEK CO., INC.            Topic: AF07T036

    Busek Co. Inc. and Stanford University propose to develop and test an advanced high power plasma propulsion concept referred to here as a Coaxial High EnerGy Thruster, or CHENG thruster.  The thruster is first and foremost a propulsive device.  However, because the device is pulsed, compact, and efficient the plasma beam is highly condensed and energetic. For this reason, the thruster may also b ...

  7. A Comprehensive Modeling Tool for Cold Hearth Melting Processes

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF05130

    CFDRC proposes to develop a comprehensive, high fidelity commercial quality simulation tool for modeling the Cold Hearth Melting (CHM) processing of Titanium alloys. The code will accurately predict the transient temperature distribution, flow patterns, skull shape, species evaporation, and particle fates in the hearth region for a given set of dynamic operating conditions. The foundation for this ...

  8. A Computational Framework for Multiscale Simulations of Weakly Ionized Plasmas

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF07T022

    The goal of the proposed research is to develop a unified computational framework integrating adequate physical models for simulating complex non-equilibrium plasmas. Plasma dynamics is characterized by disparate spatial and temporal scales each described by appropriate physical models. The project aims to classify possible scenarios and develop general recipes for clustering phase space to dynami ...

  9. A Coupled Transport and Fate Model for Health and Environmental Effects

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF05316

    A coupled transport, fate and human effects model is proposed that may be used to better understand and minimize the occupational exposure encountered during the maintenance of aircraft and other associated weapons systems while improving their operational efficiency. In Phase I a Computational Fluid Dynamics-based, micro-scale transport and dispersion model will be integrated with lung deposition ...

  10. Active Calorimetry Development for Testing of Active Thermal Control Coatings and Devices

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: AF04147

    Physical Sciences Inc. proposes to develop a calorimeter designed specifically for accurately measuring the solar absorbance (alpha) to infrared emittance (epsilon) ratio, alpha/epsilon, as well as alpha and epsilon, of spacecraft thermal control coatings that can actively change their alpha or epsilon in response to the thermal environment. Our calorimeter is unique; it is autonomous, incorporati ...
