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. Handheld Multisensor Wand for the Detection of Threat or Illicit Objects on Persons

    SBC: TeraMetrix, LLC            Topic: HSB0102008

    In this Phase I SBIR work, we propose to test the feasibility of enhancing a hand-held wand time-domain terahertz (TD-THz) based sensor with an additional suite of low cost sensor technologies to create a multi-sensor fusion based approach. The feasibility of TDTHz signature based anomaly detection has been demonstrated previously in double-blind testing performed by an independent laboratory. A k ...

  2. SORN-S- Self Organizing Resilient Network Sensing

    SBC: Paradigm Shift International            Topic: HSB0102003

    We propose to develop the Sensing portion of a Self Organizing Resilient Network (SORN-S) by integrating existing natural-system process knowledge with a new affordable, massively-parallel, pattern-detection technology. The biological immune system (BIS) has been offered as a model by many who see its natural fit to cyber networks viewed as organisms, but computational performance limitations have ...

  3. Development HMTD-Containing Porous Materials as Non-Detonable Training Aids for Canines

    SBC: XPLOSAFE LLC            Topic: HSB0102004

    The current practice of training canines for explosives detection utilizing actual explosives requires qualified personnel that are trained to handle explosive materials making the training both manpower-intensive and costly. The expense is further exacerbated by the need to handle and dispose of the explosive material according to local, state, and federal explosives regulations. Finally, the nat ...

  4. Improved Trace Gas Spectrometer

    SBC: SOUTHWEST SCIENCES INC            Topic: S104

    Southwest Sciences proposes development of gas filter correlation (GFC) spectroscopy using non-periodic gratings for spaceborne and airborne deployment. Our proposed technology will result in smaller, lighter weight, lower power, and more rugged instrumentation than is possible using established GFC spectrometers. The approach is based on the development of non-periodic diffraction gratings that ...

  5. Automated NDE Flaw Mapping System

    SBC: CYBERNET SYSTEMS CORPORATION            Topic: A102

    The prevailing approach to non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of aircraft components is to set an inspection schedule based on what is generally known about the component in question. Engineers perform tests on samples, get field reports, and include a safety factor based on criticality. Then, when the schedule dictates, the component is inspected and a binary decision is made: Back in service? O ...

  6. Automated Autonomy Assessment System

    SBC: CYBERNET SYSTEMS CORPORATION            Topic: X1201

    NASA has expressed the need to assess crew autonomy relative to performance and evaluate an optimal level of autonomy that maximizes individual and team performance. For this project, we propose to leverage our Automated Behavior and Cohesion Assessment Tools (ABCAT) system, which we designed for NASA for a recent project. The ABCAT system was designed in part to assess crew performance, which we ...

  7. Fiber-Coupled Spectrometer for TPS Materials

    SBC: Electrodynamic Applications Inc            Topic: A206

    Heat shield technology is a critical component of manned spaceflight. In particular, the new Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) requires thermal protection systems (TPS) beyond the current state of the art. While new TPS shields are under development, a key difficulty is the ability to diagnose TPS performance. In Phase-I SBIR research carried out by EDA and Penn State, we developed a low intrusive ...

  8. Piezoelectric MEMS Microphones for Ground Testing of Aeronautical Systems

    SBC: Baker-Calling, Inc.            Topic: A401

    Improving the acoustical environment is critical in aeronautics. Airports and aeronautical systems manufacturers are facing ever-increasing demands to reduce noise levels. Aeronautical applications require the use of large arrays of high quality microphones with a large dynamic range. These arrays are expensive. The advent of lower cost microphones that meet the users' specifications would dram ...

  9. Trace Contaminant Monitor for Air in Spacecraft

    SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: X203

    A need exists for analyzers that can measure trace contaminants in air on board spacecraft. Toxic gas buildup can endanger the crew particularly during long missions. Some gases are generated by people and emitted through the skin or by exhalation. In addition to carbon dioxide, these anthropogenic gases include carbon monoxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, acetaldehyde, and methanol. Plastics u ...

  10. Molecular Air Data Clear Air Turbulence Sensor: MADCAT

    SBC: MICHIGAN AEROSPACE CORP            Topic: A104

    Clear air turbulence (CAT), often referred to as "air pockets," is attributed to Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities at altitudes generally above 18,000ft, often in the absence of any visual cues such as clouds, making it difficult to avoid. The vortices produced when atmospheric waves "break" can have diameters of 900-1200ft and tangential velocities of 70-85 ft/sec. CAT is dangerous for commercial an ...
