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. Eyesafe Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) Laser for Laser Ranging

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: MDA05013

    We propose the development of a high-peak-power pulse fiber laser operating at eye-safe wavelength to be used as transmitter in laser radar (LIDAR) applications. The laser will support long range and high range resolution and will be designed for fast transition to actual field deployment.

  2. Advanced Sensor Materials for Space

    SBC: GALAXY COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTORS, INC.            Topic: MDA05007

    Advanced technology and circuit architecture is under investigation for high performance, infra-red, and low power electronics. GaSb substrates have advantages that are attractive for implementation of very long wavelength infrared (VLWIR) detectors with higher operating temperatures for spaced based and stealth applications. A significant aspect inhibiting widespread commercial application of GaS ...

  3. IGC and Estimation With Theta-D and Higher Order Sliding Mode Techniques

    SBC: IST-Rolla            Topic: MDA05048

    This proposal continues on the successful Integrated Guidance and Control techniques developed through the Phase I effort. A new VIGC formulation has been shown to yield good preliminary results. Research during Phase II will develop IGC algorithms with an optimal approach, with an inner loop-outer loop appraoach and and a heading error approach. IST-Rolla also will develop nonlinear filters to ma ...

  4. High Fidelity Scene Generation for Distributed Hardware in the Loop of BMDS Components

    SBC: KINETICS, INC.            Topic: MDA06048

    The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is currently developing a comprehensive testing environment to test and evaluate the operation of multiple elements operating concurrently within the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). High-fidelity synthetic scene generators are required to be developed to stimulate, in real-time, both radar and optical sensors within the BMDS. These scene generators must ...

  5. Reduced Print Thru in HEL Deformable Mirrors

    SBC: METASTABLE INSTRUMENTS, INC            Topic: MDA06053

    This project will investigate a passive solution to the deformable mirror print through problem. No additional sensor or control subsystems will be required. The high reflector surface will be positioned on the backside of the thin deformable transparent glass sheet. First order theory (uniform temperature through the thickness of the thin glass sheet) indicates that for most glasses there is a ...

  6. Improved Laser Diodes for Space Laser Communications

    SBC: nLight Photonics            Topic: MDA06020

    We propose to perform analytical and empirical studies of laser diode packages in regards to long-term reliability for use in the space environment. Our approach will be to develop a physics based understanding of the failure mechanisms observed due to operation in vacuum and radiation environments. We expect to be able to mitigate these failure mechanisms through nLight’s laser diode design a ...

  7. Optical Turbulence Forecasting for Directed Energy and Laser Communication Systems

    SBC: NORTHWEST RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC.            Topic: MDA05012

    We have designed a state-of-the-art optical turbulence forecasting system for free-space optical (FSO) laser communication and directed energy laser weapons systems applications. Our initial emphasis has been on an improved atmospheric decision aid (ADA) for the Airborne Laser (ABL), but the methods can be equally applied to other laser-weapon systems, high-bandwidth laser-communication appli ...

  8. MKV Restraint And Dispense System Technology Demonstration

    SBC: Systima Technologies, Inc.            Topic: MDA05070

    A critical aspect of the MKV system concept is the restraint and dispense of the individual KVs from the carrier/launch vehicle. The individual KVs need to survive launch and fly out towards incoming targets while the KVs are attached to the Carrier Vehicle (CV). As the CV approaches an incoming group of targets (re-entry vehicles and countermeasures), the KVs must be dispensed on controlled vel ...

  9. Low Shock Stage Separation System For The KEI

    SBC: Systima Technologies, Inc.            Topic: MDA05024

    The Kinetic Energy Interceptor is under severe aerodynamic, thermal, and self induced loading during rocket motor staging events. Aerodynamic forces, propulsion spikes, and explosive separation events can induce unrecoverable pitching moments or damaging shock levels on sensitive payload components. Systima has designed a low-shock, missile stage release system combined with an active (pyrotechni ...
