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. Non-destructive Depth Dependent Stress Monitor

    SBC: Advanced Technologies/Laboratories Intl            Topic: N/A

    Aircraft landing gear, and wheels in particular, are subjected to heavy loads during service. Controlled surface compressive stresses help to improve the fatigue life by reducing the probability of crack initiation and propagation from the wheel surface. Manufacturers such as Allied Signal will induce a surface compressive stress by either shot peening or roll burnishing. Acoustic an ...

  2. High Temperature III-V Nitride RF Electronics

    SBC: Advanced Technologies/Laboratories Intl            Topic: N/A

    The III-V nitrides, (Al, In, Ga)N, are promising materials for high temperature, high power and high frequency devices due to the wide bandgaps, high electron saturation velocity and high electronic mobility transistor (HEMT) structures available in this alloy system. These devices would find wide-spread commercial use as power amplifiers in base station transmitters for personal communications ...

  3. AN FT-IR BASED INSTRUMENT FOR THE EVALUATION OF SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS

    SBC: ADVANCED FUEL RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    A typical Air Force base will produce several thousand gallons per year of used turbine engine lubricants. These lubricants can be collected on site and sold at relatively low cost for other uses (e.g., plasticizer). The potential for contamination of the collected lubricants, particularly with halogenated compounds such as degreasing solvents or turbine fuels, reduces the effectiveness of a previ ...

  4. Advanced FT-IR Gas Analysis Instrument for Improved Process Monitoring and on-site Characterization

    SBC: ADVANCED FUEL RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    The Air Force has requirements for site cleanup and environmental compliance related to contaminated groundwater. Remedial operations of water contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) presently utilize technologies such as air stripping, activated carbon treatment, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and pervaporation. All of these methods require an advancement in monitorin ...

  5. Portable Reflectometer

    SBC: ADVANCED FUEL RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    The AF requires a portable instrument to measure thermal reflectance signatures from target surfaces. In the field, measurements include 1) total integrated scatter; 2) retro-reflected scatter; 3) angular scatter from normal incidense to 75 degrees off-normal; and 4) parallel and perpendicular polarization components of reflectance. Advanced Fuel Research, Inc., (AFR) previously delivered a benc ...

  6. Infrared Spectrometer on a Chip

    SBC: ADVANCED FUEL RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Infrared spectroscopy has ong been recognized as an excellent tool for sending and monitoring chemical species and thermal signatures. There is a need for low-cost devices which can be used in these applications. Advanced Fuel Research Inc (AFR) is presently developing a micro-machined graded interference spectral informtion using transform spectrometry, but which requires an array of detectors ...

  7. A Novel Infrared Tag for Accurately Tracking Multiple Targets in Six Dimensions

    SBC: ADVANCED OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: N/A

    The technique for accurately measuring the positions and orientations of targets in relation to a fixed reference is of fundamental importance to a number of military and commercial applications. For example, in the simulation experiments for testing of installed, integrated avionics, the configuration geometry data for hundreds of test assets, each having six-degree-of-freedom must be automatica ...

  8. Adaptive Computing for RF Device and Component Modeling

    SBC: ANSOFT CORP.            Topic: N/A

    While circuit simulation tools have revolutionized the art of RF and microwave design, these tools are only as good as the component values they employ. The increased demand for reduced design cycles and easier to manufacture systems has generated the need for accurate and reliable tools. Current circuit simulation tools use component models that do not always account for parasitic coupling, non ...

  9. Scalable Secure Broadcasting Mechanisms for Satellite Networks

    SBC: Artery Communication            Topic: N/A

    Secure broadcasting mechanisms play an important role in satellite-based communications networks. In this Phase I SBIR project, Artery Communication Technology Inc. proposes a scalable secure data broadcasting architecture that is both bandwidth efficient and as secure as state of the art public key cryptosystems. The major emphasis of this project is to analyze the detailed performance behavior ...

  10. Advanced Structural Concepts

    SBC: Bally Ribbon Mills            Topic: N/A

    Specific mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composites have made them an attractive material for application to many aircraft structures. Today, composite structure is typically made up of laminated layers (plies) of 2-D composite material with the fiber direction of each ply thoughtfully oriented to optimize structural efficiency. The goal of 'continued improvement' in structural efficie ...
