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. Reduced Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) Motions For Reliable Recovery

    SBC: Applied Physical Sciences Corp.            Topic: N07205

    Safe and reliable launch and recovery of small offboard assets is important to the concept of operations for the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), as they are deployed to complete a wide range of missions. The LCS design specification requires launch and recovery of watercraft to be completed within fifteen minutes in conditions through Sea State 4. These operations are expected to be difficult becaus ...

  2. Uncertainty Estimation for Atmospheric Acoustic Propagation Prediction

    SBC: Applied Physical Sciences Corp.            Topic: N08096

    The propagation of acoustic signatures from vehicles, aircraft, boats and artillery can have a significant impact on military operations. Specifically combatants need to reliably detect enemy acoustic signatures while at the same time concealing their own. The physical propagation environment, including surface and atmospheric parameters, may drastically alter the range at which an emitting object ...

  3. High Fidelity Clutter Model for Active Sonar

    SBC: Applied Physical Sciences Corp.            Topic: N08056

    Active sonar clutter usually appears on a display as an amalgamation of point scatterers that exhibit both object and individual reflective and kinematic behavior. We propose to demonstrate the feasibility of constructing a realistic active sonar clutter model based on a few generalized concepts to synthesize most clutter types observed on Mid-Frequency active sonars. Realism is achieved by using ...

  4. Efficient, Highly Maneuverable Artificial Fish for Stealthy Surveillance

    SBC: Applied Physical Sciences Corp.            Topic: N08T030

    Experimental and computational studies have indicated the benefits of fish swimming propulsion for efficiency and fast maneuvering capability. The biological paradigm of using unsteady body motion to generate and manipulate flow vorticity for desired hydrodynamic thrust marks a shift from the quasi-steady treatments used in practice for the engineering of vehicle hydrodynamics. A key component to ...

  5. Underwater Marine Species Mitigation System

    SBC: Applied Physical Sciences Corp.            Topic: N07024

    Applied Physical Sciences Corp. (APS) will develop a deployable marine mammal mitigation system. The system will use vector hydrophones to passively detect, track, classify, and localize vocalizing mammals. Wavelet and conventional spectral analysis methods will be coupled to species-specific tracking algorithms. Behavioral clues from the acoustic data will be used to further reduce false alarm ...

  6. Sonobuoy System and Concept of Operations for Time-Reversal-Based Target Detection

    SBC: Applied Physical Sciences Corp.            Topic: N07014

    Existing multistatic airborne ASW systems require high power sources and are unable to exploit the significant forward scattering strength of a submarine target due to the blinding presence of the direct blast. Time reversal (TR) is a recent method for focusing acoustic energy at a point using pairs of source and receive arrays. The TR focus provides a measure of propagation channel stability, al ...

  7. Naval Device Applications of Relaxor Piezoelectric Single Crystals

    SBC: Applied Physical Sciences Corp.            Topic: N07076

    The overall intent of this project is to develop a series of vector sensors for thin-line submarine towed array applications and down-select one for full evaluation via a comprehensive test campaign. Once the sensor is perfected, a production run of eight sensors will be performed so that a thin-line towed array section can be fabricated and tested. Each vector sensor under consideration will co ...

  8. Distributed Sensor System Innovations

    SBC: Applied Physical Sciences Corp.            Topic: N07070

    The overall intent of this project is to develop a triaxial pressure-acceleration vector sensor that is suitable for reliable acoustic path sensing. The sensor is intended to have a nominal size that is commensurate with an AN/SSQ-53 DIFAR sonobuoy wet-end transducer, have a 6 km submergence depth rating, and exhibit a noise floor of nominally 40 dB re 1 micro-pascals-squared per hertz. This is ...

  9. High-Speed, Multi-Spool Fiber Optic Payout for Undersea Communications at Depth

    SBC: CONTRAST OPTICAL DESIGN & ENGINEERING, INC.            Topic: N08095

    An SBIR Phase I program is proposed to research and develop a fiber optic bobbin design that will perform at greater depth and deployment speeds and allow high speed manufacturability. Our unique bobbin design approach will focus on providing high-speed simultaneous winding of two payout spools using a single continuous optical fiber. Computer simulations and hydrodynamic modeling will be perform ...

  10. Mixed Gas Hypoxia Training in Low Pressure Chambers

    SBC: ENVIRONICS, INC.            Topic: N08139

    The objective of this proposal is to improve the safety and effectiveness of hypoxia recognition and recovery training for mask-off aircrew using the 9A9 low pressure chamber or other suitable enclosure to provide mixed gas hypoxia training. This proposal demonstrates the feasibility of providing hypoxia recognition and recovery training using normalbaric mixed gases or a combination of mixed gas ...
