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. Danesfield Courier: Efficient Transmission and Rendering of CORE3D Models

    SBC: KITWARE INC            Topic: NGA183002

    An important application for geospatial 3D models is fast transmission and rendering for disadvantaged users who have only a web browser and a limited bandwidth connection. Point cloud models commonly used within the NGA are too large for efficient transmission and rendering. Kitware’s new research on the IARPA CORE3D program has demonstrated procedural building models from point clouds for more ...

  2. TOFENet – Topographic Features Extraction Network

    SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc.            Topic: NGA181001

    Topographic features found in ground-based natural images contain information that is useful for a variety of applications including geolocation estimation and navigation. Traditionally, these features have been manually labeled by analysts which is costly and time consuming, especially considering the volume of readily available data. During Phase I, we have demonstrated a novel TOFENet framework ...

  3. CloudVS: Next Generation Video Services In Cloud Computing

    SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc.            Topic: NGA181002

    With the explosive growth of Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile communication technologies, media streaming service and applications based on video content have gained remarkable popularity and interest from users. When someone is using their device to record a video, then share that video with friends through a certain website (e.g. Netflix, YouTube), the process may sound simple from the user s ...

  4. Video Tagging and Interpretability Rating (VTIR) Toolkit Assisting VNIIRS Ground Truth Experiment

    SBC: INTELLIGENT FUSION TECHNOLOGY, INC.            Topic: NGA191002

    The Video National Imagery Interpretability Rating Scale (VNIIRS) defines different levels of interpretability based on the types of tasks an analyst can perform with videos of a given VNIIRS rating. DoD users of motion imagery rely on NGA to rate the interpretability of motion image clips and understand the factors affecting the VNIIRS of operational imagery. To develop and validate and verify an ...

  5. VAST-CQA Video Annotation and Statistics Toolkit for Crowdsoucing Quality Assessment

    SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc.            Topic: NGA191002

    Intelligent Automation Inc. (IAI), along with our collaborators propose to develop a video tagging and statistics toolkit called VAST-CQA (Video Annotation and Statistics Toolkit for Crowdsourcing Quality Assessment). The key idea of the proposed approach is to provide a video quality annotation toolkit which reduces the effects of bias, subjective assessment and other human factors using a set of ...

  6. VSIIR: VNIIRS Semantics Inference for Interpretability and Rating

    SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc.            Topic: NGA191003

    Video analysts have to sift through voluminous video data to extract information of interest. The NGA uses the VNIIRS scale to rate videos with subjective interpretability. VNIIRS rating provides a meaningful way of organizing video browsing and search. Manually annotating videos with VNIIRS rating however, is very tedious. We propose to develop an automated tool which uses several cues such as mo ...

  7. Super Resolution of Satellite Imagery using Multi-Sensor Fusion

    SBC: KITWARE INC            Topic: NGA172005

    The commercial small satellite provider Planet is expanding towards global coverage at a daily revisit rate at the cost of lower resolution imagery than satellite providers like DigitalGlobe. The lower resolution diminishes the effectiveness of Planet in many surveillance applications that would greatly benefit from its coverage and revisit rate. We therefore propose a single image super resolutio ...

  8. A Deep Learning Approach for Enhanced Discrimination of Nuclear Weapons Testing

    SBC: Array Information Technology, Inc            Topic: DTRA182005

    Seismic, hydro acoustic, and infrasonic (SHI) analyses possess many desirable properties, such as long-distance wave propagation and attributable spectral characteristics. They have been, by large, relegated to capturing massive explosions, earthquakes, bolides, and space-bound rocket launches. Although machine learning techniques have been employed on various military and commercial projects, rar ...

  9. Autonomous navigation through small, confined spaces

    SBC: ROBOTIC RESEARCH OPCO LLC            Topic: DTRA182002

    As more of our enemies expand the number and complexity of their underground facilities, the need to improve the tools that provide consistent situational awareness (SA) increases accordingly. For complex missions such as these, we require a family of systems (FoS) that have different capabilities, and can address various mission needs. Robotic Research proposes creating a unique, small platform ( ...

  10. Advanced Solutions for Radiation Susceptibility Analysis & Prediction

    SBC: DFR SOLUTIONS, LLC            Topic: DTRA162006

    The increasing complexity of devices, reduced budgets and accelerated program timelines, requires a new approach to predicting radiation of integrated circuit (IC) designs. Most approaches to date require gate level analysis and do not scale easily to device level calculations, leading to methods that are note practical under most program timeline and cost budgets. Previously, DfR Solutions has de ...
