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. Intelligent Variable Emittance Panels Using New, ""True"" Solid Electrolyte

    SBC: Ashwin-Ushas Corporation            Topic: N/A

    This firm has, in ongoing work in collaboration with the Air Force, NASA and JPL, developed a unique Variable Emittance technology based on the electrochromism of unique Conducting Polymers. This comprises thin (< 0.5 mm), flexible, lightweight (0.16 g/cm^2), variable area (0.5 cm^2 to 0.5 m^2), very low cost flat panels. Delta Emittance (DE) of 0.33 in space-qualified devices, and 0.53 in vacuum- ...

  2. Low-Power Aircraft Deicing System

    SBC: CONTINUUM DYNAMICS INC            Topic: N/A

    Two novel approaches for providing de-icing of aerodynamic surfaces are proposed for research and development. The first represents a ?snap through? actuation mechanism that can abruptly and reversibly alter the shape of aerodynamic surfaces in-flight to discrete self-locking positions. The snap-through system is ideally suited for deicing by providing mechanical debonding and removal of accreted ...

  3. Diamonite(TM)-bonded C/C Composite for Thermal Protection of Re-entry Bodies

    SBC: DIAMOND MATERIALS INC            Topic: N/A

    We propose to develop a lightweight, heat-resistant Diamonite(TM)-bonded C/C composite for thermal protection of re-entry vehicles. Our previous work has shown that nanostructured carbon produced by pressure-assisted polymerization of mixed fullerenes creates a new high specific strength carbon material called Diamonite(TM), which has mechanical properties closer to diamond than to graphite. Build ...

  4. Development of Ultra-smooth Diamond Tooling for Machining Lightweight Mirrors

    SBC: DIAMOND MATERIALS INC            Topic: N/A

    DMI has produced functionally-graded nanostructured diamond materials that are able to machine lightweight silicon carbide optics with high precision and with minimal wear of the cutting edge. The goal of this project is to increase the tool life of a diamond cutter and to develop a technique for ultra-smooth polishing of the cutting edge as well as ultra-smooth machining of curved silicon carbide ...

  5. Next Generation Data Management of Large-Scale CFD Simulations

    SBC: JMSI, INC            Topic: N/A

    Large-scale, 3D simulations of complex configurations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have become increasingly critical in the design of aircraft, aerospace vehicles and propulsion systems. The CFD analysis process consists of three phases: pre-processing, solver and post-processing. Multi-disciplinary techniques, which analyze phenomena such as fluid-structure interaction, introduce addi ...

  6. Stochastic Optimization of Aeroelastic Response (SOAR)

    SBC: MECHANICAL SOLUTIONS INC            Topic: N/A

    Modern airfoil design evaluation requires accurate analysis of both structural dynamic as well as fluid oscillatory response. The level of calculation reliability has, in principle, increased significantly, so that now the opportunity exists to optimize aeroelastic behavior in the design stage. This is made possible by new high fidelity structural and CFD tools which predict airfoil steady and tra ...

  7. Integrated Multi-Range Rendezvous Control System

    SBC: PRINCETON SATELLITE SYSTEMS INC            Topic: N/A

    PSS proposes an integrated multi-range rendezvous control system written in our ObjectAgent distributed software architecture. The control system will use different algorithms at different ranges from the rendezvous target. Rendezvous maneuvers are achieved using a Lambert planner with genetic algorithm optimization for large orbit changes and using a Simplex planner with path constraints for mane ...

  8. A Reconfigurable, Decentralized Framework for Formation Flying Control

    SBC: PRINCETON SATELLITE SYSTEMS INC            Topic: N/A

    The paradigm shift of using multiple-satellite clusters to replace large, monolithic spacecraft has been fueled by the objectives of increased robustness, greater flexibility, and reduced cost. It is our belief, however, that these objectives are not automatically met. The operational costs of monitoring and commanding a large fleet of close-orbiting satellites is likely to be unreasonable, unless ...

  9. An Advanced SiC Power Switch for Deep Space Power Systems

    SBC: United Silicon Carbide, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    We propose to design and fabricate advanced SiC power switch aimed at up to several kilowatt power system applications. The power switch is expected to lead to (i) substantially reduced volume and weight of space power systems, (ii) greatly expanded operating temperature range, and (iii) drastically improved power efficiency and enhanced radiation tolerance. In Phase I, we propose to design, optim ...

  10. High energy density Li-ion polymer batteries with nanocomposite cathodes

    SBC: NEI CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    The energy density of Li-ion batteries can be enhanced by utilizing cathodes that have significantly higher energy density than that of state-of-the-art LiCoO2. The proposed program focuses on developing novel nanocomposites with a theoretical energy density of 800 Wh/kg, which is more than 60% higher than that of the practical energy density of LiCoO2. Working in collaboration with a leading deve ...
