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. Drag Removal by Autonomous Grapple (DRAG)

    SBC: LOADPATH, LLC            Topic: AF173016

    For the entire spacecraft community including current and future developers and operators whose hardware is inherently at risk from catastrophic collisions with space debris, the Drag Removal by Autonomous Grapple (DRAG) is an autonomous payload system that docks to identified space debris and increases drag with a deployable sail to accelerate de-orbit times by at least an order of magnitude.Unli ...

  2. Verification and Validation of Algorithms for Resilient Complex Software Controlled Systems

    SBC: XL SCIENTIFIC LLC            Topic: AF17CT05

    Verification of the Guidance, Navigation and Control (GN&C) algorithms and software utilized onboard spacecraft is of paramount importance to ensure resilient, correct operation after launch. Rather than wait until the GN&C software has been deployed to perform on-orbit verification, offline verification integrated into the design process will improve mission performance, significantly reduce the ...

  3. Detection of Radio Frequency and Magnetic Field Bioeffects in Living Cells

    SBC: SOUTHWEST SCIENCES INC            Topic: AF18AT001

    Radio frequency communications and sensors are everywhere in both personal and military life. RF fields are also used in some medical therapies. However, little is known about the medical effects that result from the routine exposure of tissue to RF fields. To understand such effects, new instrumentation is needed that can quantify the RF radiation amplitude with spatial resolution comparable to t ...

  5. Full Mueller Matrix Characterization of Imaged Samples using Digital Holography

    SBC: TAU TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: AF18AT007

    The Department of Defense relies on a worldwide network of radar and optical sites to maintain Space Situational Awareness.Although careful consideration during site selection process solves some of this mission's challenges, optical sensor imaging of objects at significant ranges is always hampered by many other factors, such as limited-aperture optics and atmospheric turbulence.There remains, ho ...

  7. Application of Hierarchical Memory Models to Automatic Target Recognition Modeling and Simulation

    SBC: NOVATEUR RESEARCH SOLUTIONS LLC            Topic: AF18AT014

    This SBIR Phase I project proposes a visual processing system for automated target recognition. Inspired by biological vision systems and hierarchical memory models, the proposed system is capable of learning hierarchical invariant features from unlabeled data that are independent of object labels. The model exploits these learned features to create hierarchical representations of target memories ...

  9. Surface Activation of High Strength Steels for Electroplating

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF171003

    The Air Force is seeking new methods to prepare and activate high strength steel for electroplating in landing gear applications. The current abrasive activation technique is too aggressive and leaves the possibility for cross contamination of the base metal and the abrasive material, which can cause galvanic corrosion.The Air Force would like a new method of surface preparation that does not over ...
