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. Active Interrogation for Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) Detection Experimental Study

    SBC: ALAMEDA APPLIED SCIENCES CORPORATION            Topic: DTRA07003

    AASC’s objective is to mitigate the risk of implementing an active interrogation system based upon time of flight measurements. A fast pulse neutron source is a critical component of a time of flight system even at large stand off. This program directly addresses means to control the probe radiation pulse in a fast neutron source. In some concept of operations, pulse width is a larger concern ...

  2. Active Interrogation System for Detecting and Identifying SNM

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: DTRA07003

    Active interrogation holds the most promise for detecting heavily shielded materials at a distance. This effort will use pulsed neutron excitation of fission reactions in the target being inspected in conjunction with an imaging detector. Special nuclear material (SNM) that is present will undergo fission reactions that generate prompt and delayed neutrons which will be emitted by the target. Th ...

  3. Scintillation Detector with Fast-Neutron/Gamma ray Discrimination

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: DTRA07001

    The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear missiles and “dirty bombs” are a serious threat in the world today and especially to the well-being of the United States. Preventing the spread of these nuclear weapons has reached a state of heightened urgency in recent years, more so since the events on September 11, 2001 and its aftermath. The presence of nuclear weapons can ...

  4. Improvements in Scintillation Technology for Detection of Nuclear Radiation

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: DTRA07004

    High-resolution scintillation crystals and crystal arrays are important components of current and future handheld and arrayed detectors (used for DOD applications) and scintillation spectrometers (routinely used in high energy physics research, medical imaging, diffraction, homeland security, nuclear waste clean-up, nuclear treaty verification and safeguards, and geological exploration). Unfortun ...

  5. Nanocomposite Scintillator for Detection of Nuclear Radiation

    SBC: BOSTON APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES, INCORPORATED            Topic: DTRA07004

    Recent advances in scintillator materials research have resulted in the development of lanthanum halides detectors. These detectors offer improved energy resolution, faster emission and excellent temperature dependency and linearity characteristics. However, the lanthanum halides crystals have not yet been grown to preferred large sizes. Moreover, this material possesses a fatal drawback of being ...

  6. High Efficient Photodetectors

    SBC: CERMET, INC.            Topic: DTRA07004

    The goal of this effort is to demonstrate an high efficient photodetector to replace the conventional photo multiplier tubes (PMT) in gamma radiation detection process. In the proposed effort. Cermet will grow and fabricate ZnO based photodetectors for the detector of scintillated light in the wavelength region between 340 and 430nm. The proposed technology will bring an improved, high efficient p ...

  7. SiC Arrayed Detectors for Fast Neutron Detection

    SBC: GENESIC SEMICONDUCTOR INC.            Topic: DTRA07001

    Fast neutron radiography is targeted towards detection of explosives, contraband and for the screening of cargo. The energy discrimination of conventional neutron detection methods is poor and the presence of a gamma-ray background is a major source of interference. In this program, GeneSiC Semiconductor proposes the development of unique and innovative Silicon Carbide neutron detectors using thic ...

  8. Measuring Residual Concrete Strength After Penetration and Blast

    SBC: INTELLIGENT FIBER OPTIC SYSTEMS CORP            Topic: DTRA07010

    Intelligent Fiber Optic Systems (IFOS) proposes to investigate the feasibility of developing an innovative high-speed low-cost real-time monitoring solution based on embedding a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor network in reinforced concrete. The concrete condition can be directly measured and remotely monitored in real time through a fiber link. The primary objective in Phase I is to determine t ...

  9. Real-Time Portable Neutron Spectroscopy

    SBC: MICHIGAN AEROSPACE CORP            Topic: DTRA07002

    One of the critical gaps in homeland security is the inability to efficiently detect and identify kilogram-size samples of Special Nuclear Materials (SNM, uranium and transuranic elements). Unlike other forms of radiation produced by SNM (e.g. gamma rays), penetrating neutron emission is unique to fissionable material and difficult to obscure with passive shielding. The current state-of-the-art ...

  10. SEE Modeling and Mitigation in Ultra-Deep Submicron Microelectronics

    SBC: MICROELECTRONICS RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION            Topic: DTRA07005

    As technology feature sizes decrease, single event upset (SEU), digital single event transient (DSET), and multiple bit upset (MBU) effects dominate the radiation response of microcircuits. Recent test circuits and test methods have quantified the pulse widths of DSETs generated from heavy-ion strikes on critical microcircuit nodes. These pulse widths have proven to be much larger than previousl ...
