The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for the given year is not complete until April of the following year. Annual Reports data is a snapshot of agency reported information for that year and hence might look different from the live data in the Awards Information charts.

SBIR Phase II: Quantum Dot-Tinted Glass Luminescent Solar Concentrator Windows
SBC: UbiQD, Inc Topic: PHThe broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to extend the function of windows by turning them into daytime sources of electricity. The target market for this technology is tall buildings in urban areas, where electricity demand is the highest and the available space for installing solar cells is smallest. This technology utilizes a ...

Fast Beam-Switching Kickers
SBC: Electrodynamic Topic: 29dThe next generation nuclear physics accelerator facility, the Electron Ion Collider (EIC), will accelerate and collide spin polarized electrons and ions focused to an unprecedented density at their point of collision- To achieve the desired electron/ion density at the focal point, random velocity variations in the ions will be reduced using the technique of electron cooling- In this technique, the ...

Fate and Fortune: A Story-Based Algebra Simulator of High Seas Trade
SBC: MidSchool Math, LLC Topic: 99190018R0005Purpose: This project team will fully develop and test Fate and Fortune, an online class-wide intervention where grade 8 students learn algebra within a story-based game. Research demonstrates that students who do not succeed in algebra are more likely to eventually drop out of high school. When students begin Algebra I, a lack of conceptually meaning and understanding can be further reinforced by ...

Prognostics Approaches for Remote Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Propulsion and Vehicle Systems in Harsh Environments
SBC: MANAGEMENT SCIENCES INC Topic: AF121170This is a follow-on SBIR Phase II as a result of a fully executed SBIR Technology Transition Plan to transition MSIs COgnitive Stochastic MOdeling System (COSMOS) in a microsystem hardware to increase reliability of systems and components which would reduce maintenance and increase operational availability, which reduces the number of aircraft needed to complete missions. ACC and the AFRL propulsi ...

Development of an Autonomous Damage Assessment Module (ADAM) for use as an Electronic Battle Damage Indicator
SBC: Voss Scientific, LLC Topic: N181075Future battlefields employing directed energy technologies will require an electronic Battle Damage Indicator (eBDI) tool that can measure the radiated Radio Frequency (RF) emissions from a target before and after a High Power RF (HPRF) attack and determine if target electronics have been significantly disrupted. We propose an innovative eBDI using a system so compact, lightweight and inexpensive ...

Photolithographically Defined Optical Cooling Devices for Electronic Cooling Plane Applications
SBC: PICOTEK LLC Topic: N181081The current exponential growth of energy consumption in supercomputers and data centers has become an ecological and economical problem for simple reasons of power delivery, power dissipation and heat removal. To go on with the exponential growth in the use of information we need to continue reducing the energy required to handle each bit. This reduction, however, becomes an increasingly harder pr ...

Implementation and Demonstration of LUCS, a Live, Ultra-Compact Multispectral USPL Characterization System
SBC: Voss Scientific, LLC Topic: N171085Researchers developing Ultra-Short-Pulse-Lasers (USPLs) need real-time measurements of key parameters, on both single-shot and statistical basis. Based on the Phase I results, we propose to assemble and demonstrate a fully integrated, intuitive and user friendly, Live USPL Characterization System, termed LUCS, using novel methods of data capture, data reduction, and distributed processing. Phase I ...

Verification and Validation of Algorithms for Resilient Complex Software Controlled Systems
SBC: XL Scientific, LLC dba Verus Research Topic: AF17CT05Verification of the Guidance, Navigation and Control (GN&C) algorithms and software utilized onboard spacecraft is of paramount importance to ensure resilient, correct operation after launch. Rather than wait until the GN&C software has been deployed to perform on-orbit verification, offline verification integrated into the design process will improve mission performance, significantly reduce the ...

Optical Cryocooling for Precision Metrology
SBC: THERMODYNAMIC FILMS LLC Topic: AF10BT02Optical cryocoolers, which are compact and produce no vibrations, are ideal for many electronics and sensor applications. In particular, some advanced metrology systems require cooling to around 124 K, the temperature at which the coefficient of thermal expansion for crystalline silicon goes through a null point. Currently, the dominant solid-state cooling technology is thermoelectric cooling, whi ...
