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 Persistent Environmental Measurement System

    SBC: BOSTON ENGINEERING CORPORATION            Topic: N181012

    Proteus is an inexpensive, long duration, expendable profiler that collects ocean data for the Navy. The data, transmitted via satellite and made available via a remote portal, enhances existing and future capabilities by characterizing seasonal changes in ocean properties including salinity, temperature, optical properties, and ocean background noise. Proteus is capable of being air deployed from ...

  3. Physiologically Assessed Ratings of Aircraft Operation and Handling (PHARAOH)

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: N192071

    The Navy relies on handling quality ratings (HQRs) for evaluation of its aircraft to ensure that it can maintain, train, and equip combat-ready forces. The aviator’s perspective is vital for assessing aircraft handling, but can be difficult to obtain from Pilots without distracting them or relying on their memory. Pilot physiological state fluctuates with the amount of workload required to handl ...

  4. SWIFT: Sensors-based Workload Insight for Flight Testing

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N192071

    The assessment of aircraft flying qualities and the resultant impact on pilot workload is critical for the evaluation and tuning of aircraft configurations. A reliance on subjective self-report ratings and an inability to account for cross-pilot variability lead to reliability concerns when evaluating flying qualities for aircraft under specific tasks and conditions. Despite advances in the quanti ...

  5. Secure Communications Link Between Robotics and Autonomous Systems

    SBC: TRITON SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: N192075

    Traditional RF (Radio Frequency) communications are increasingly susceptible to jamming, interception, and even detection. Free space optics can mitigate these issues while adding benefits such as bandwidth and a highly directional nature. In order to make this happen, a highly developed system must be constructed consisting of exceedingly precise control systems and novel beam steering techniques ...

  7. Nano-Hardened Electroplated Coatings for Improved Rotary Cannon Lifespan

    SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP            Topic: N192057

    Rotary cannon type weapons, such as the M197 electric cannon, currently require servicing every 28 days in order to remove abrasive particulate and to relubricate the rotary drum. The Navy is currently seeking a one-time application coating, applied at the time of manufacturing or retrofit, which will at least double the time between servicing to 56 days or more. Mainstream Engineering proposes to ...

  8. Deep reinforcement learning based unManned ARiel VEhicLes (D-MARVEL)

    SBC: ANDRO COMPUTATIONAL SOLUTIONS LLC            Topic: N192062

    The ability to quickly adapt to the multitude of dynamic mission objectives and environments that UAV solutions are subjected to is a key differentiator between autonomous UAV solutions. Furthermore, it is often the case that an operator must team with the autonomous UAV in an effort to maximize the efficacy of the team as a whole. Restrictions such these render more traditional solutions of rangi ...

  9. Two-Dimensional Surface Emitting Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) Quantum Cascade Laser Arrays for High-Power Applications

    SBC: FORWARD PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: N181016

    Significant progress has been made in recent years in improving the efficiency and output powers of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) in the mid-wavelength infrared wavelength range. In order to increase the power output of these devices, and simultaneously reduce the thermal management needs, innovative pathways such as development of broad area vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) could ...

  10. High Dynamic Range Real-Time LIDAR Digitizer and Processor

    SBC: Systems & Technology Research LLC            Topic: N192063

    Current LIDAR systems utilize photon shot noise limited detectors but the overall systems performance and application space is hindered with readout electronics that are lacking in terms of temporal resolution, dynamic range, SWAP or cost. In order to overcome this limitation, Systems and Technology Research (STR) will be applying a novel ADC architecture to create a 2 GSPS, 19-bit digitizer for L ...
