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. A fast pulsed, high flux directed neutron source for large stand off detection of special nuclear materials

    SBC: ALAMEDA APPLIED SCIENCES CORPORATION            Topic: DTRA08002

    Alameda Applied Sciences Corp proposes to develop a fast pulse, directed, fast neutron source to detect special nuclear materials at large stand off. Our source offers a

  2. Cost-Effective Gas Flow Data Sensors

    SBC: EXQUADRUM INC            Topic: DTRA08007

    Current high energy, multi-room test facilities operated in support of Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) efforts suffer from a lack of robust sensors that can provide a cost-effective approach to obtaining dynamic-pressure induced gas flow data during internal detonations events. Exquadrum, Inc proposes a new sensor package that utilizes existing piezoelectric sensor technologies, but incorp ...

  3. Heterdyne Interferometer for Triggering Gas Puff PRSs

    SBC: HY-Tech Research Corp.            Topic: N/A

    Large X-ray generators using gas fill loads are a key element in the DTRA simulator program. Consistent relative timing between the injection of the gas shell and the generator current pulse is crucial to producing consistent, high-yield x-ray pulses.To that end HY-Tech proposes replacing existing high voltage trigger pin technology, with a sensitive, all fiber-optic heterodyne interferometer ba ...

  4. High-Z Polymer Composites as a New Category of Gamma Scintillator Materials

    SBC: LC TECH            Topic: DTRA08002

    We propose a radically new approach to gamma scintillator materials based on high-Z polymer composites. These composites contain two key components molecularly dissolved in a polymer matrix that serves as the binder: (1) high-Z compounds for stopping high-energy gamma radiation; (2) luminescent conjugated polymers that functions as the scintillation activator. The molecular-level dissolution ensur ...

  5. GaAs and Higher Z PCDs for Flash X-ray Diagnostics

    SBC: NU-TREK, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Nu-Trek will design, fabricate, and demonstrate 23 models of GaAs PCDs. Technical characteristics include 50-500 ps response time, 10E6-10E12 rad(Si)/s dose rate capability, and a spectral range of < 1 keV through several MeV. The GaAs PCDs will be used asdose rate monitors, flux monitors, and as detectors in spectrometers. They will supplement/replace Si PIN diodes (faster, less sensitive), diamo ...

  6. Directed Mono-Energetic Gamma Source

    SBC: RADIABEAM TECHNOLOGIES, LLC            Topic: DTRA08001

    For long-range detection of Special Nuclear Materials, an intense beam of mono-energetic directed gamma rays is required. In this proposal, a novel, high-energy, high peak- and average-brightness gamma-ray source based on Inverse Compton Scattering is described. Novel techniques are introduced to increase the flux of the source for active photonuclear interrogation at stand-off range. In Phase I, ...

  7. IED neutralization from an airborne platform

    SBC: TECHNOLOGY IN PRACTICE LLC            Topic: DTRA182001

    The Defense Threat Reduction Agency, DTRA, currently uses technologies capable of detecting IEDs using airborne sensors that are demonstrated as reliable. These systems are only used for detection purposes and are not capable of neutralizing the IED. Due to IEDs being located in remote, dangerous, and hostile locations, there is high casualty risk for personnel to manually neutralize the target by ...

  8. Ultra-short Pulsed Off-axis Digital Holography for 3D imaging of Aerosol Evolution

    SBC: METROLASER, INCORPORATED            Topic: DTRA182003

    This is a proposal to develop a unique, Ultrashort Pulsed Off-axis Digital Holography (USPODH) system, enabling the high frequency imaging of detailed 3D structures within aerosol fields under harsh thermodynamic conditions and high optical depths where ordinary imaging is essentially useless. Many powerful imaging methods have failed to provide this capability because noise from multiple scatteri ...

  9. Automated pattern recognition methods to identify nuclear explosions

    SBC: Acorn Science & Innovation, Inc.            Topic: DTRA182005

    Reliable automated pattern recognition in the current system is limited by excessive noise and clutter combined with insufficient and/or ambiguous features. Our team consisting of AcornSI and Leidos thus propose a multi-step approach based on the combined effects of improved detection, feature extraction, phase identification, and global association. A key innovation here is creating a new classif ...

  10. Engineering Perovskite Single Crystals for Gamma Spectrometry

    SBC: CHEMELECTRONICS LLC            Topic: DTRA182007

    In this project, we propose to identify and examine solution growth approaches for engineering perovskite single crystal for gamma spectrometry in a hand-held sensor format. We will demonstrate that the solution growth approach is able to produce perovskite single crystal in sufficient volume and quality to yield a detector crystal whose utilization presents no inherent environmental, health, or s ...
