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. Reduction in Variability in Liquid Locking Compound Applications.

    SBC: Systems & Materials Research Corporation            Topic: MDA16014

    Liquid locking compounds (LLCs) are often applied to fasteners in missile applications to augment preload in resistance to vibration-induced loosening. The amount of LLC needed to reach a specified locking torque varies greatly depending on the fastening system. There is a need to apply LLCs to fastening systems consistently and with known adhesion characteristics to provide OEMs with a repeatable ...

  2. Aft Looking Spectrometer for Plume Characterization and Waking on Re-entry

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: MDA16016

    We propose a hyperspectral imager for aft-looking wake and plume characterization. The payload is designed to operate with existing COTS components and has no moving parts. The high spectral resolution will provide atomic and molecular emission lines, and the spatial resolution will produce a spatial map of these excitations.

  3. Intuitive User Interface Technology Evaluation for Optimal BMDS Performance

    SBC: KNOWLEDGE BASED SYSTEMS INC            Topic: MDA15006

    The adoption of Human-Machine Interface (HMI) technologies for BMDS planning, test and evaluation, operations, and mission control must be undertaken in a carefully planned manner. Lacking are methods to test the effectiveness of user interface technologies for improved situation awareness and decision-making ability. Knowledge Based Systems, Inc.’s (KBSI) Intuitive User Interface Technolog ...

  4. Solid State High Power Amplifier for Communications

    SBC: ENGIN-IC INC            Topic: MDA15023

    In the Phase 1 program, ENGIN-IC studied the key technologies to develop a Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) to replace the Klystron Tube currently used for the Ground-based Midcourse Defense Element of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). ENGIN-IC demonstrated a GaN Power amplifier MMIC design offering greater than 40-W saturated power with more than 45% efficiency, a 160-W sub module w ...

  5. Multi-Object Deployment System (MODS)

    SBC: LOADPATH, LLC            Topic: MDA15018

    Ballistic missile threats include the potential for complex target scenes including countermeasures and debris in addition to lethal objects. In order to defend against this threat, the Ballistics Missile Defense System (BMDS) has been developed to intercept the targets. The construct of using multiple interceptors on a single target is both costly and taxing on the BMDS command control. However, ...

  6. A Low-Cost, Laboratory-Scale Method to Identify Regions of Microstructural Changes in Response to Dynamic Loading Conditions

    SBC: McConnell Jones Lanier & Murphy LLP            Topic: MDA16T003

    This proposal outlines a plan to develop an innovative and effective laboratory based method to support first-principles modeling of structural material responses under a range of energetic loadings, including explosions and high velocity impact. The range of strain rates posed by these dynamic loadings is similar to that experienced in metals in advance of a cutting tool. This provides a low-co ...

  7. Cost-Effective Measurement for Materials at Extreme Loading Rates

    SBC: PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC            Topic: MDA16T003

    Protection Engineering Consultants (PEC) has teamed with Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to develop and evaluate a novel high-rate loading procedure, that employs pulse energy sources to generate short duration shock waves within solid materials.This approach can be readily used to measure some of the required material properties, while modifications will be required to measure other propertie ...

  8. Active Mode Millimeter Wave Imaging

    SBC: K&c Tech., Inc.            Topic: N/A

    This proposal addresses an approach to millimeter wave imaging called encoded image detection (EID). The concept offers a means of achieving a low cost, all weather seeker for smart munition and submunitions. Its low cost potential makes adaptation of the imager also attractive for a variety of other military applications such as search and rescue, surveillance, and security. Most current devel ...

  9. Ultraspectral Imager

    SBC: KESTREL CORP            Topic: N/A

    This Phase I SBIR demonstrates the underlying technology required to construct an ultraspectral imager that has the ability to spectrally resolve molecular absorption lines while simultaneously creating a two dimensional spatial mapping. The proposed instrument will have a spectral resolution that is better than 2 cm-1 and two dimensional spatial resolution that exceeds 2 milliradian. Based on Fou ...

  10. Type-II Quantum Cascade Lasers for 8-12 Micron IR Sources

    SBC: Qet, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    In the proposed research, we will investigate a new class of long wavelength-IR (8-12 um) lasers which was first suggested by the PI in 1994. These lasers are based on cascaded type-II quantum wells. They maintain the electron recycling advantage of the recently reported quantum cascade laser, while circumvent its limitations. Not only can a population inversion be easily created with a nearly 100 ...
