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. Integrated Ultra-High Performance Graphene Optical Modulator

    SBC: OMEGA OPTICS, INC.            Topic: AF18AT003

    This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project aims at developing a commercially viable, ten microns long graphene optical modulator laterally integrated with a silicon waveguide and optical light source for large bandwidth optical communication and computing applications such as supercomputers, data centers and so on. Compared to the conventional optical modulators, graphene modulators h ...

  2. Electronically Dimmable Eye Protection Devices (EDEPD)

    SBC: NANOSONIC INC.            Topic: AF18BT003

    Through the proposed Phase I Air Force STTR program, NanoSonic and Virginia Tech will demonstrate metal organic framework materials and electrospray fabrication methods for the manufacture of eye protection devices that are capable of controlling the amount of light transmitted through the device. The objective of this program is to 1) increase the dynamic range and speed of electronically switche ...

  3. Contour Based Image Segmentation

    SBC: VY CORP            Topic: AF18BT007

    We propose to detect and identify moving objects in airborne imagery and full-motion video in unconstrained environments. Conventional techniques result in too many false positives; a new topology is needed to automatically detect and identify moving targets from a moving platform in airborne imagery. Our software is designed to analyze video imagery and deliver curve metadata that can be organize ...

  4. Multiphysics Modeling of Dynamic Combustion Processes

    SBC: COMBUSTION RESEARCH & FLOW TECHNOLOGY INC            Topic: AF18BT010

    The objective of this effort is to develop a zonal, multi-physics modeling framework for dynamic combustion processes that can capture relevant local physics and simulate system behavior. The primary focus will be on liquid rocket combustors with secondary application to gas turbines. The goal is to obtain an order of magnitude reduction in current simulation time within acceptable error limits. T ...

  5. Lasers Based on Gas Filled Hollow-Core Photonic Crystal Fibers

    SBC: IRFLEX CORP            Topic: AF18BT015

    Current continuous wave (CW) and pulse mid-wave infrared (MWIR) lasers have design and performance limitations that constrain their usability in some critical Air Force applications. There is an important need to create a new class of MWIR laser sources with less drawbacks and higher pulse energies and CW powers. The proposed work will demonstrate the technical feasibility of an innovative MWIR la ...

  6. Rapid Nondestructive Inspection of Traditionally Uninspectable Adhesively-Filled Composite Joints

    SBC: TEXAS RESEARCH INSTITUTE , AUSTIN, INC.            Topic: AF18BT016

    Composite joints with tight radii, such as “pi (π)� or “T� joints, are often manufactured with thick adhesive bondlines and “nuggets/noodles,� that are difficult or impossible to inspect using traditional nondestructive inspection (NDI) equipment. In this Phase I STTR effort, TRI Austin and CNDE propose to develop ultrasonic (UT) NDE techniques, in partcu ...

  7. Methods for the Production and Scale-up of Novel MXene Materials

    SBC: LYNNTECH INC.            Topic: AF18BT017

    MXenes are a remarkable class of 2-D nanosheets that hold promise for use in numerous defense applications including electromagnetic shielding and energy storage. MXenes are produced by selective etching of A element layers from a parent MAX phases - a family of carbides and nitrides with a layered nanostructure and a general formula of Mn+1AXn, consisting of an early transition metal (M), main-gr ...

  8. A Cost-effective, Large Scale and a Novel Synthetic Route for Quasi-2D “MXene� Phase

    SBC: TEXAS BIOCHEMICALS INC            Topic: AF18BT017

    MAX phases are an important class of layered machinable ternary carbides and nitrides that exhibit a unique combination of ceramic and metal properties. In 2011, a new family of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides – called MXenes – was discovered via selective etching of the ‘A’ element from MAX phases. Texas Biochemicals Inc., has ...

  9. Cyber Knowledge Management with Secure Information Transfer for Weapons Systems (CKURITY)

    SBC: KNOWLEDGE BASED SYSTEMS INC            Topic: AF18CT002

    Securing our nations weapon systems is essential to the success of our military. In recent years, cyber securing these systems has become a dire need and priority for the Department of Defense (DoD). This need poses many challenges including (i) securely storing weapon system cyber knowledge, (ii) maintaining vulnerability and risk assessment consistency across number DoD organizations, (iii) prev ...

  10. Intelligent Robot Path Planning System for Grinding of Aircraft Propeller Blades

    SBC: Traclabs Inc.            Topic: AF19AT004

    Grinding, sanding, or buffing tasks (which we generalize as blending tasks) are critical processes for many manufacturers, especially in aerospace. Robotic blending solutions are desired that combine the flexibility and agility of a manual process with the repeatability and safety of a robotic system. This proposal seeks to deliver a robust robotic software suite to address the Air Force's specifi ...
