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. Multi-Phenomenology Discrimination for Feature Aided Data Fusion

    SBC: DECISIVE ANALYTICS CORPORATION            Topic: MDA12005

    We propose to apply a proprietary discrimination technique rooted in the manifold learning literature to discrimination of object type through radar and through electro-optical/infrared sensors, and to use the features computed by this technique to help correlate tracks between sensors. Our discrimination technique is data-type agnostic, meaning that we can apply the same basic algorithm in both ...

  2. Techniques for Performing Warhead Characterization

    SBC: McQ Inc.            Topic: MDA12007

    To provide the Armed Forces with accurate lethality assessments for fielded munitions, warhead characterization is performed in ground based arena and sled testing. The current procedures are time consuming and costly, while only producing a fraction of the desired data. In the current method, the device under test is surrounded by switch screens to record fragment impact time and bundles of foam ...

  3. Fast-Running Physics-Based Models for Intercept Debris Aero-heating and Aero-thermal Demise

    SBC: SHEARWATER TECHNOLOGY INC            Topic: MDA12009

    Accurate prediction of aero-thermal demise of post-intercept debris is a high priority for the United States Missile Defense Agency (MDA). Predictive tools for assessing the aero-thermal demise of intercept debris are needed to support BMDS effectiveness evaluations, flight test and range safety operations, and consequence mitigation assessments. During this Phase I effort, Shearwater Technology ...

  4. Antenna design in the Plasma Environment

    SBC: STELLAR SCIENCE LTD. CO.            Topic: MDA12010

    Development of the ballistic missile targets is a complex undertaking, particularly since radio-frequency (RF) blackout caused by plasma formation during re-entry complicates antenna designs for Global Positioning System (GPS) and telemetry signals. To minimize the cost of the design/build/test process, proposed designs should be first simulated and refined in a virtual prototyping environment bef ...

  5. 2-D Hyperspectral Imaging for High Speed Target Engagement and Identification

    SBC: KESTREL CORP            Topic: MDA12014

    The objective of this proposal is to describe the design and technique behind a novel framing 2-dimensional (2-D) hyperspectral imager system that overcomes the limitations of traditional hyperspectral systems when tracking high speed targets and is capable of placing a 2-dimensional spatial grid on the target with enough pixels for shape-based target detection, while simultaneously and instantane ...

  6. Atmospheric Characterization for Directed Energy Applications

    SBC: MZA ASSOCIATES CORP            Topic: MDA12017

    MZA partnered with the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) propose the development of an integrated satellite-derived numerical weather prediction (NWP) modeling and optical sensor measurements technique to provide comprehensive atmospheric characterization for modeling of directed energy (DE) weapon performance. We will build on an existing technique for temperature and wind modeling using ...

  7. High Performance Nanopillar Optical Antenna Avalanche Detector Operating at 1.06um

    SBC: Illinois Applied Research Associates LLC            Topic: MDA12014

    Three dimensional (3D) imaging and single-wavelength active sensors are very effective for distinguishing moving targets, such as missiles, from decoys and for cutting through natural clutter and thermal noise. For systems equipped with ALS to accurately acquire, track and point moving objects, extremely sensitive detectors are required to be able to provide the bandwidth and resolution necessary ...

  8. Light weight Rubidium-Metal Vapor Circulating System

    SBC: Logos Technologies LLC            Topic: MDA12018

    We are proposing a novel architecture for a rubidium-metal vapor circulating system. This system has the benefits of long lifetime, extensive use of COTS equipment, and the ability to provide clean helium gas which could be used as gas curtains to protect optical windows. The system will be designed from lightweight materials and individual subsystems will be designed as LRUs for maintainability ...

  9. Time-Temperature Superposition for Predicting Reliability of Age-Sensitive BMDS Parts

    SBC: NANOSONIC INC.            Topic: MDA12032

    The useful lifespan of emerging state-of-the-art materials, or legacy materials that remain dormant within complex missile systems for long periods, are often unknown when actual lifetime service data is not available. This leads to unreliability, limitations on advancing system technology, and unnecessary maintenance. In support of the MDA"s Stockpile Reliability Program, NanoSonic offers our e ...

  10. Ion-Implanted 2-D MESFET Technology for Wireless Communications

    SBC: Advanced Device Technologies,            Topic: N/A

    This Phase I project has two primary objectives. The first objective is to evaluate the feasibility of a fully ion implanted fabrication process based on the heterodimensional 2-D MESFET. The new device, the 2-D JFET, will have p+ ion implanted sidegates which laterally modulate a thin, highly doped n-type conducting channel. The 2-D JFET should have excellent high speed, low power characteristics ...
