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. Vertical Cold-Launch System

    SBC: TRITON SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: MDA19001

    Triton Systems will work with the Lockheed Martin Company to develop a method to propel a missile out of a Vertical Launch System (VLS) without using the first stage rocket. This system will permit all of the energy on the first stage rocket to be used for the missile trajectory. Our design will stay within the constraints of the MK-41 VLS launcher and the footprint of current host platforms. The ...

  3. Nontoxic, Environmentally Friendly, Cellulose-Based Carbon Material for Supercapacitor Applications

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: MDA19007

    Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop a high performance biocarbon material for supercapacitor applications using an environmentally friendly process and reagents. Program goal is to provide biocarbon materials with a small carbon footprint and low production cost. Improved performance will be achieved by engineering the porosity, surface area, and conductivity of the biocarbon material ...

  4. Enabling Technologies for Forward Looking Interceptor Seekers/Sensors

    SBC: CERANOVA CORP            Topic: MDA19010

    CeraNova proposes developing and maturing processes to produce high strength, high thermal shock resistant aluminum nitride (AlN) windows for forward looking interceptor seeker systems. AlN is an excellent candidate for hypersonic-seeker windows due to its superior thermal properties, particularly its high thermal conductivity and its ability to be processed to transparency at mid-wave infrared wa ...

  5. Sparse-Aperture Passively-Cooled Window

    SBC: BLAZETECH CORPORATION            Topic: MDA19010

    Propose new window concept that separates optical features from material response issues. The optical part of the window configuration is managed by sparse aperture imaging, wherein small optical ports are strategically placed in a nominal opaque window area to collect the light signatures, combine the signals, and obtain a well-focused image on a seeker detector plane. The primary window area con ...

  7. Continuous Communications Through Plasma During Hypersonic Flight

    SBC: WINCHESTER TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: MDA19014

    Propose development of ultra-compact very low frequency (VLF, 3~30 kHz) mechanically actuated magnetoelectric antennas and communication systems with ultra-low power consumption and ultra-compact size. VLF can penetrate plasma sheath with minimal loss. Novel direct antenna modulation of the mechanical antennas can lead to a high data rate for the proposed VLF communication system. Approved for Pub ...

  8. Lightweight Fins for Enhanced Maneuverability of a High-Speed Interceptor

    SBC: TRITON SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: MDA19016

    Triton Systems and our team proposes to develop a novel, lightweight fin to increase high-speed interceptor maneuverability. We will demonstrate through proven analytical techniques that our fin offers performance benefits over current state-of-the-art systems in the high hypersonic regime and that our design requires less torque to actuate, thus reducing demand on the actuation system. We will al ...

  9. Advanced Conformal Piezoceramic Actuators

    SBC: Active Control eXperts, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    ACX proposes to develop durable and reliable conformal geometry actuator packages. These packages will have the ability to operate as linear actuators for motion control applications as well as to conform to structures with curved surfaces for applications requiring induced strain actuation. These packages provide a protective skin offering electrical isolation, and provide a means for integration ...

  10. Low Cost Avalanche Photodiodes and Photodiode Arrays

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Silicon avalanche photodiodes are among the most sensitive optical detectors available today. It 11as been shown that large area APDs are potentially an excellent alternative to photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) in applications such as LIDAR, nuclear medicine, physics research and nuclear radiation measurement instrumentation. They can offer improved performance based on their compact size, solid state ...
