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. 2-D Hyperspectral Imaging for High Speed Target Engagement and Identification

    SBC: KESTREL CORP            Topic: MDA12014

    The objective of this proposal is to describe the design and technique behind a novel framing 2-dimensional (2-D) hyperspectral imager system that overcomes the limitations of traditional hyperspectral systems when tracking high speed targets and is capable of placing a 2-dimensional spatial grid on the target with enough pixels for shape-based target detection, while simultaneously and instantane ...

  2. Atmospheric Characterization for Directed Energy Applications

    SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORP            Topic: MDA12017

    MZA partnered with the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) propose the development of an integrated satellite-derived numerical weather prediction (NWP) modeling and optical sensor measurements technique to provide comprehensive atmospheric characterization for modeling of directed energy (DE) weapon performance. We will build on an existing technique for temperature and wind modeling using ...

  3. Hypervelocity Impact Damage Assessment

    SBC: INVOCON, INC.            Topic: MDA12030

    Invocon, Inc. proposes the development and testing of a Hypervelocity Impact Damage Assessment system that can track the electrical charge dispersion created when a hypervelocity impact (HVI) occurs between two entities with a closing velocity greater than 1 km per second. This same system can measure the time of arrival (TOA) of the charge wave front at transducers placed throughout the vehicle. ...

  4. Innovative designs for reliable Electro-Explosive Ordnance Devices

    SBC: TEXAS RESEARCH INSTITUTE , AUSTIN, INC.            Topic: MDA12031

    Issues with electro-explosive device (EED) initiators on interceptors have caused the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to investigate novel ideas to increase EED reliability. TRI/Austin proposes designing, fabricating, and testing novel electro-explosive devices utilizing magnetic saw initiators to increase reliability by incorporating a single point, insensitive failure mechanism. TRI/Austin will t ...

  5. Long-Term Missile Aging Assessment&Reliability Predictions for Polymer Materials and Electronic Parts

    SBC: TEXAS RESEARCH INSTITUTE , AUSTIN, INC.            Topic: MDA12032

    Methods have been recently developed by TRI/Austin Inc. that permit accelerated life testing (ALT) exposures at lower temperatures which are more realistic and that reduce the risk of introducing failure mechanisms that are not representative of actual service conditions. The feasibility of using these methods for ALT of missile subsystems will be investigated by the research team assembled, whic ...

  6. Anti-Tamper Technology for Missile Defense

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: MDA12006

    Anti-Tamper systems are designed to prevent and/or delay the exploitation of critical technologies. One of the major tools for reverse engineering is x-ray imaging, often used with computer-aided tomography to enable 3-dimensional information gathering of an IC structure. Thus, a device which can be built into the IC, and/or placed on the circuit board, that detects x-rays due to attempts at rever ...

  7. Antenna Design in the Plasma Environment Using Coupled CEM and CFD Modeling

    SBC: VIRTUAL EM INC.            Topic: MDA12010

    A coupled CEM and CFD modeling is proposed for prediction of antenna performance in plasma environment with particular application to reentry vehicles. The degree of coupling between the fluid dynamics and the electromagnetics will be investigated as well as identification of the parameters that relate the two modeling processes. End product is a hybrid computational tool with a complete GUI that ...

  8. Antenna design in the Plasma Environment

    SBC: STELLAR SCIENCE LTD. CO.            Topic: MDA12010

    Development of the ballistic missile targets is a complex undertaking, particularly since radio-frequency (RF) blackout caused by plasma formation during re-entry complicates antenna designs for Global Positioning System (GPS) and telemetry signals. To minimize the cost of the design/build/test process, proposed designs should be first simulated and refined in a virtual prototyping environment bef ...

  9. RF Material Property Characterization

    SBC: TEXAS RESEARCH INSTITUTE , AUSTIN, INC.            Topic: MDA12011

    The research team proposes to expand the capabilities of an existing microwave nondestructive evaluation (NDE) system that measures thickness, quantifies dielectric properties (e.g. loss tangent, phase shift, dielectric constant, conductivity), and detects flaws in composite materials. The prototype system has been successfully used on military aircraft sandwich and single layer composite structu ...

  10. 3D IMAGING OF OPAQUE OBJECTS BY USING PHASE RETRIEVAL

    SBC: ADVANCED MODULAR POWER SYSTEMS            Topic: N/A

    As an alternative to holographic laser radar, AMPS will develop a 3-D imaging concept that collects far-field intensity speckle patterns. This kind of measurement greatly relaxes the tolerances on vibration and coherence length. However, phase retrieval will be required to retrieve a 3-D image. Phase retrieval algorithms typically utilize some type of prior knowledge about the object. In industria ...
