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. Low-Shot Detection in Remote Sensing Imagery

    SBC: Next Century Corporation            Topic: NGA172002

    Next Century Corporation proposes the development of Muggsy, a low-shot deep learning detection prototype system that learns to recognize uncommon targets in remote imagery. Our Phase I research extends and leverages an image classification system of our own design called EvoDevo. EvoDevo evolves its own neural network architecture before training to meet the complexity of the data. Muggsy uses le ...

  2. GFNet: Gnostic Fields based Low-Shot Learning for Target Detection in Remote Sensing

    SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc.            Topic: NGA172002

    To detect uncommon targets in remote sensing imagery, it is quite often that very few prior examples are available. This so-called low-shot detection remains a very challenging problem in remote sensing, despite the recent development in state-of-the-art object detection algorithms such as Faster R-CNN and YOLO, and low-shot learning methods such as feature shrinking, model regression and memory a ...

  4. TOFENetTopographic Features Extraction Network

    SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc.            Topic: NGA181001

    Topographic features found in ground-based natural images contain information that is useful for a variety of applications including locationestimation and navigation. Traditionally these features have been manually labeled by analysts which is costly and time consuming, especiallyconsidering the volume of readily available data. We propose a novel method for extracting topographic features from s ...

  5. TopoRobo (Topographical Annotation Robot Software)

    SBC: Next Century Corporation            Topic: NGA181001

    Next Century Corporation proposes to create TopoRobo (topographical annotation robot software) to automatically extract depth-orderedlists of ridge polylines overlaid on an image or video mosaics to feed topography-based geolocation algorithms. TopoRobo will leverage deepneural network machine learning methods optimized for topographical features through EvoDevo, Next Centurys algorithm to grow an ...

  6. CloudVS: Next Generation Video Services In Cloud Computing

    SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc.            Topic: NGA181002

    With the explosive growth of Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile communication technologies, media streaming service and applications basedon video content have gained remarkable popularity and interest from users. When someone is using their device to record a video, then sharethat video with friends through a certain website (e.g. Netflix, YouTube), the process may sound simple from the user sid ...

  7. Small, Low Power Alternative PNT Augmentations for Handhelds

    SBC: TRX SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: NGA07002

    Navigation in GPS denied environments presents a challenge to the war-fighter. Whether accurate GPS locations are unavailable because of jamming or simply because of poor satellite visibility due to manmade or natural structures blocking the signals, it is important to have a reliable alternative precision navigation and time (PNT) augmentation technology. This proposed work addresses the challe ...
