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. Application of Microsystem Technologies in Advanced Aerospace Vehicle Power Systems

    SBC: Johnson Research & Development Co Inc            Topic: AF03164

    The Air Force has identified fuel cells as an "emerging technology of choice for power generation" because of their "supreme fuel efficiency, reduced air emissions and minimal fuel costs". The electrolyte is a critical component of a fuel cell, and no solid electrolyte has been identified that permits fuel cell operation in the intermediate temperature range 200-400°C (although this temperature ...

  2. On-Line Trajectory Optimization for Autonomous Air Vehicles

    SBC: GUIDED SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: AF02T002

    Successful operation of next-generation unmanned air vehicles will demand a high level of autonomy. Autonomous low-level operation in a high-threat environment dictates a need for on-board, robust, reliable and efficient trajectory optimization. The proposed effort will develop and demonstrate an innovative combination of traditional analytical and numerical solution procedures to produce effici ...

  3. Rapid and Robust Dynamics-based Nondestructive Method to Monitor Structural Health

    SBC: Millennium Dynamics Corporation            Topic: AF04T016

    The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of detecting damage in structures using Laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV) and further lead to the development of a robust aerospace structural health monitoring system. The proposed concept is based on use of LDV to measure velocities and displacements associated with high frequency operational deflection shapes as well as lamb waves. ...

  4. Nanoparticle Based Chemical / Biological Decontamination System for Air Force Parts and Components

    SBC: NanoScale Materials, Inc.            Topic: AF04258

    Although the surface decontamination of parts / equipment exposed to chemical and biological warfare agents takes place at forward operating areas, there is need for a system to eliminate the possibility of exposure to repair depot personnel and facilities from contaminated parts / components (e.g., decon in deep cracks and crevices of the parts). The objective of this program is to develop and ...

  5. Nondestructive Taper-Lok Fastener Hole Inspection Without Fastener Removal for Thick, Multi-Layer Structures

    SBC: POSITRON SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: AF04134

    The ability to detect cracks within Taper-Lok fastener holes associated with thick, multi-layer wing structures without removing the fastener presents significant challenges to existing nondestructive inspection technologies. Critical fastener hole inspections for sections of the B-1B wing structures require removal of the Taper-Lok fasteners followed by eddy current inspection, at a cost project ...

  6. Encapsulated Resin for Non-Autoclave Resin Film Infusion Composites Repair

    SBC: Stratton Composite Solutions            Topic: AF04132

    A new process for repair of composites will be developed for BMI materials. This process will solve the problems associated with Film Infusion by allowing for air evacuation before cure. Material will stabilized so that it can be stored at room temperature for extended periods of time. The process will be suitable for both depot and field repairs. Testing will be completed to demonstrate that t ...

  8. Ionic Liquids: Novel Lubrication for Air and Space

    SBC: SURFACES RESEARCH & APPLICATIONS, INCO            Topic: AF04T018

    The team of Surfaces Research and the University of Florida proposes to study novel ionic liquids as lubricants for space mechanisms, MEMS devices, and electrical contacts. Ionic liquids offer unique properties of great interest to the U.S. Air Force, including ultra-low vapor pressures, extremely low friction, and electrical conductivity. We propose fundamental materials interaction, surface ...

  9. Hybrid Electric MHU-83 Bomb Jammer

    SBC: TCS DESIGN & MANAGEMENT SERVICES            Topic: AF03292

    TCS Design and Management Services (TCS) successfully has completed Phase I of the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) project to study the feasibility of creating a hybrid electric version of the existing diesel MHU-83 bomb jammer. In Phase II, TCS proposes to finalize a design, to procure components, to construct a prototype, and to test a hybrid electric bomb jammer, which will designate ...

  10. Combustion-Based Actuator for Flow Control in Transonic Flight Applications

    SBC: Virtual Aerosurface Technologies, Inc.            Topic: AF03T014

    Combustion powered actuation (COMPACT) technology was developed at Georgia Tech for high-speed flow control applications. COMPACT produces a pulsed jet by the ignition of a mixture of fuel and oxidizer in a miniature (cm3-scale) combustion chamber. The combustion creates a rapid pressure rise in the chamber and the subsequent ejection of a high-speed jet through a single or multiple orifices. C ...
