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. Doppler Scanning Gas Filters (DSGF): A passive sensor solution to global observation of upper atmosphere dynamics

    SBC: G & A Technical Software Inc            Topic: AF182001

    This proposed effort will establish the ability to observe global upper atmosphere dynamics at the vertical and horizontal resolutions required to dramatically advance weather forecasts and predict upper atmosphere turbulence. We will show this can be accomplished with simple static thermal DSGF imagers looking in both the limb and nadir. The limb measurements, with a sensor called the Doppler Win ...

  2. Enhanced UHSS Casing for Penetrating Munitions

    SBC: Shear Form Inc            Topic: AF191082

    In Phase I, Shear Form, Inc will apply a severe plastic deformation (SPD) processing technology to ultra-high strength steels (UHSS), specifically 4340M and AF 9628, to enable penetration improvement for munitions casings. Equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE), a fully scalable SPD method, will be used to process the steels under ausforming conditions. This will facilitate microstructural enginee ...

  5. Anti-Reflective Surface structures for Infrared Non-linear Materials

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: AF18AT016

    High-power, high-efficiency, broadly-tunable coherent sources in the mid-wave infrared (MWIR, λ=3–5 μm) spectral band are coveted for applications relating to infrared (IR) countermeasures, remote chemical sensing, and free-space optical communication. MWIR sources based on optical nonlinear frequency conversion can generate broadly-tunable kilowatt-level coherent radiation over the e ...

  6. Transparent Polyurethane Nanocomposite for Next-Generation Bird Strike Protection

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF191066

    Bird strike collisions pose a serious hazard for civilian and military aircraft. Air Force rotorcraft, such as the HH-60G Pavehawk, are increasingly susceptible due to their low altitude operation, frequent take-offs and landings, and operation in remote areas. Front facing windscreens are the most vulnerable part of rotorcraft as bird impact can cause windscreen penetration and catastrophic colli ...

  7. Rotary Platform Windscreen Transparency for Bird Strike Protection

    SBC: INTER MATERIALS, LLC            Topic: AF191066

    Some of the Air Force’s greatest concerns are to provide the H-60 rotary platform with full protection against bird strikes with no increase in weight and thickness. INTER Materials is in a unique position to assist the Air Force with the development of a lighter weight concept that provides enhanced bird strike protection to the H-60 helicopter windscreens, is shatterproof and withstands a ...

  8. Multimode Chiroptical Spectrometer for Nanoparticle Characterization

    SBC: APPLIED NANOFLUORESCENCE, LLC            Topic: None

    This project will develop a new scientific instrument optimized for the advanced characterization of near-infrared fluorescent nanoparticles that can exist as left- or right-handed structures (enantiomers). Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are the leading current example of such nanomaterials. Applied NanoFluorescence, LLC (ANF) proposes a novel multi-mode chiroptical spectrometer that can ...

  9. Autonomous Decision Making via Hierarchical Brain Emulation-- 19-009

    SBC: METRON INCORPORATED            Topic: AF19AT009

    The objective of this project is to develop human intelligence-inspired algorithms that exploit multi-modal sources of low and high quality data to achieve a series of objectives such as detection, localization, tracking, and classification. A Bayesian model-based hierarchical adaptive decision making (HADM) algorithm will be developed which includes multiple levels of decision making organized in ...

  10. Ultra-Compact Heat Exchangers

    SBC: MAKAI OCEAN ENGINEERING INC            Topic: AF173006

    Makai Ocean Engineering, Inc. proposes to address thermal management performance shortfalls for 6th generation air platforms by developing a novel heat exchanger technology. Specifically, Makai will develop an ultra-compact thin-foil heat exchanger (TFHX) for air-cooled, two-phase vapor cycle systems. The TFHX will provide at least a 50% improvement in volumetric performance, pressure drops of les ...
