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. Urban Area Blast Wave Analysis using a Hierarchical, Solution-based, Adaptive Mesh Refinement Technique

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

    The magnetic field distribution in a Z-pinch, can be used to infer the currentsflowing in the pinch and study the stability during the implosion phase. Faradayrotation techniques are too insensitive for measurements during the run-in phase.Similarly, it is difficult to infer the Zeeman splitting from spectrally resolvedline profile when the splitting is much less than the absorption line width d.H ...

  2. 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 ...

  3. Capillary discharge source for high fidelity, plasma radiation source loads

    SBC: KTECH CORP.            Topic: N/A

    Science based assessments of the response of systems and material to hostile nuclear environments require detailed verified material response and failure criteria for confident results. Consequently there is a need for the development of experimentaltechniques to measure low pressure equation of state parameters accurately and economically using radiation simulators. The development of a soft x- ...

  4. Large Area Survivable Shield Design

    SBC: KTECH CORP.            Topic: N/A

    The measurement of the variation of fluence from a Plasma Radiating Source (PRS) with polar angle is critical to the definition of the stimuli acting on an effects experiment using PRS diagnostics because in general experiments and diagnostics view thesource from different angles. The polar angle fluence distribution is controlled by the opacity of the pinch, which is a sensitive function of pinc ...

  5. Development of a Soft X-Ray Driven Flyer Plate System for Low Pressure Equation of State Studies

    SBC: KTECH CORP.            Topic: N/A

    Present reflex triode (RT) design performance is limited by debris shield response. The shield designs were derived empirically to satisfy specific experiment requirements. Optimizing the RT design will double target dose. Debris shield deformation definesthe closest permissible location of the test object and therefore determines the maximum dose achievable. The deformation of the debris shield c ...

  6. Reflex Triode Design Optimization

    SBC: KTECH CORP.            Topic: N/A

    Survivable shields are a necessary part of many soft x-ray debris mitigation systems that provide ultra clean test environments for nuclear weapons effects testing. Existing test requirements demand ultra large area survivable shields (12 inch diameter).Existing designs are limited to relatively small areas at low fluences and/or impose severe x-ray attenuation penalties. A methodology for the d ...

  7. Unique High Precision Spectrometer for Warm X-ray Development and Model Benchmarking

    SBC: UTD, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Drilling has been an integral part of defense community weapons effects testing for over 40 years. Hard target defeat programs have required specialized drilling technology in the creation of test targets and in the monitoring of weapons tests, that canonly be accomplished by directional drilling. Unfortunately the cost of conducting directional drilling, the typical use of large volumes of wate ...

  8. A Compact and Fast Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) Spectroscopy System for Aerosol Combustion

    SBC: OPTICSLAH, LLC            Topic: DTRA182003

    To fully understand the combustion dynamics when chemical warfare agents are detonated, fast time-scale diagnostics are needed. While computational modeling may provide insight into the different processes, experimental measurements are needed to verify and validate these models. Since the detonation or combustion of chemical agents can result in optically thick fireballs, innovative techniques mu ...

  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 ...
