The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. Thermal Protective Coatings for Interceptor Missiles

    SBC: Adherent Technologies, Inc.            Topic: MDA09007

    This SBIR project will address the combined effects of aerothermal heating, rain erosion, and moisture and gas diffusion on the degradation of interceptor missile radomes designed for hypersonic travel. A novel method of protecting hypersonic interceptor missiles from the rigors experienced at velocities several times the speed of sound is proposed. The technology is based on the conversion of a ...

  2. High-Emissivity Ceramic Matrix Composites for Hypersonic Airframes

    SBC: APPLIED THIN FILMS, INC            Topic: MDA09007

    New materials and processes are needed to achieve performance requirements of future ballistic missile defense systems (BMDS). Ever increasing demands on achievable speed and performance require thermally stable, lightweight and mechanically robust thermal protection systems to protect underlying structures from aerothermal heating, radiative heating, as well as impact from rain and other particul ...

  3. Creation of a Global UV-VIS-IR Ocean Background Model That is a Function of Time, Location and Sea State

    SBC: COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS, INC.            Topic: MDA09035

    Next generation ballistic missile warning, defense and surveillance systems need to anticipate, through modeling and simulation, the background radiation of the battlespace environment, including geometries that intercept the ocean background. This objective requires prior knowledge of the environmental radiance conditions for development of optimal sensors and detection approaches. Much work has ...

  4. Near-infrared, Linear Mode, Photon Counting HgCdTe Focal Plane Arrays

    SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: MDA09038

    The MDA is developing deployable airborne systems such as the Airborne Laser (ABL) for boost-phase missile defense. The ABL’s mission would significantly benefit from the development of sensors that enhance target detection and ranging capabilities. We propose near-infrared, linear mode, photon counting avalanche photodiode (APD) arrays that are compatible with ABL and based on highly sensitive ...

  5. Novel LWIR Detector Technology for high-yield, large format FPAs

    SBC: EpiWorks, Inc.            Topic: MDA09002

    EpiWorks will demonstrate an MOCVD capability to manufacture of GaSb/InAs strained layer superlattice (SLS) epitaxial wafers for 10um FPAs in a low-cost commercial, production environment. In our proposed effort EpiWorks would initially focus on duplicate state-of-the-art results that have been achieved to date in research labs using MBE growth. This would lay the groundwork for EpiWorks to con ...

  6. Active Sensor Materials and Process Technology Innovations

    SBC: FIBERTEK, INC.            Topic: MDA09011

    We propose novel, more compact and inexpensive active sensors designed to operate interactively with passive IR seekers to provide enhanced performance in a number of important missile defense scenarios. We have identified a new approach to laser radar (ladar) design that exploits emerging monolithic laser concepts to produce a highly integrated, easily manufactured ladar components designed for ...

  7. Innovative Low-Cost Encrypted Mobile Ground Systems

    SBC: LIBRATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT, INC.            Topic: MDA09019

    The development of Libration Management System’s (Libration Systems) SGLS compatible mobile ground station will allow for a low cost solution to support micro and small satellite missions operations, provide 3-D tracking of spacecraft, allow for in-field direct communication to a satellite using DoD approved waveforms, and to allow fusion of multiple data links (K and S/L bands) for these satell ...

  8. Ballistic Missile Defense System Innovative Power Storage Devices

    SBC: INVENTEK CORP            Topic: MDA09010

    An opportunity exists to lower cost and improve thermal battery performance by applying a unique separator material, ceramic fiber separator (CFS), developed by Inventek Corporation. The paper-like material can also serve as a foundation for thin-electrode fabrication and a continuous method for battery/cell fabrication. Additional InvenTek will apply low-temp nitrate chemistry in development by ...

  9. Type-II InAs/GaSb material development for two color focal plane arrays

    SBC: MP Technologies, LLC            Topic: MDA09013

    Tracking and recognition of fast moving targets require fast, sensitive, uniform focal plane arrays (FPAs). However, high performance single band FPAs are sometimes unable to discriminate a target from its background when they present similar infrared radiation at a given wavelength. This may occur even if the temperature of the objects is very different. In such a case, Two Color FPAs offer an ...

  10. Super Lightweight, Rad Hard, Morphing, Synergistic Structures for BMDS Kill Vehicles

    SBC: NANOSONIC INC.            Topic: MDA09004

    NanoSonic has developed Shape Memory Metal Rubber™ (SM-MR) skins that exhibit reconfigurable and durable RF properties and can be repeatedly and severely morphed without loss of EMI shielding (-88dB). Recently, it was found that SM-MR exhibits greater gamma ray attenuation relative to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) radiation shielding materials, and does not emit harmful secondary radiation un ...
