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. Artificial Intelligence for Refining Multi-Aircraft Testbed Environments

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: A301

    NASA is researching various concepts, procedures, standards, and technologies intended for NextGen Airspace. Complex, distributed airspace simulations that utilize experimental testbeds (e.g., Multi Aircraft Control System, or MACS) are vital research tools for these projects. However, managing the various complexities and coordination of agent-supported separation assurance can be challenging. Th ...

  2. User-Augmented Visualizations for Targeted Evaluation of Systems and Technologies

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: A301

    The operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in the National Airspace System (NAS) is a growing area of research for NASA, but the need for substantial amounts of research on the UAV-in-NAS concept is overwhelming. Furthermore, the quantity and nature of research questions on UAV-in-NAS operations are somewhat unpredictable as this research progresses, thereby requiring NASA to have flexible r ...

  3. In Situ Particle Asymmetry Factor Monitor

    SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC            Topic: S108

    Aerosol particles affect the radiative balance of the earth directly, by scattering and absorbing solar and terrestrial radiation, and indirectly, by acting as cloud condensation nuclei. It is now recognized that the atmospheric loading of aerosols generated through human activities can exert an influence on the earth's radiation budget comparable in magnitude with greenhouse gases. However ...

  4. Frequency Modulated Integrated Cavity Output Spectroscopy: A General Technique for Trace Gas and Isotope Measurements with Unprecedented Sensitivity

    SBC: EOS Photonics            Topic: S108

    A new technique is proposed for improved trace gas detection and measurement that combines the high absorption depths afforded by mid-infrared Integrated Cavity Output Spectroscopy (ICOS) with the added precision and sensitivity of Frequency Modulated Spectroscopy (FMS). To our knowledge, the two-tone FM technique described and prototyped in this proposal is the first demonstration of this combin ...

  5. Q-Deploy-Processor and FPGA Rapid-Deployment Platform

    SBC: QUICKFLEX INC.            Topic: S301

    For NASA and other organizations, development using reconfigurable technologies can be time consuming and difficult, with expensive to over-budget development cycles and longer time-to-deployment. The proposed Q-DeployÂ? Processor and FPGA Rapid-Deployment Platform, with the endorsement of a leading prime who is heavily involved with NASA programs and allocations, will give NASA a standardized an ...

  6. Assessing Human Task Performance When Performing Electronic Procedures

    SBC: Traclabs Inc.            Topic: X1401

    Limited astronaut time can result in high crew workload and fatigue during International Space Station (ISS) operations. Additionally crew skills can decline over extended mission duration onboard ISS. These stressors can impact task performance both in terms of increased errors and decreased efficiency. As humans go deeper into space, these issues will become even more pronounced. Methods are nee ...

  7. Ontological Models to Support Planning Operations

    SBC: Traclabs Inc.            Topic: X601

    Automation and autonomy technologies, such as automated planning software, are key elements in realizing the vision for space exploration. A fundamental requirement for success with these technologies is that they operate using valid models or ontologies of the application domains. Making ontological information available to automated systems is difficult because 1) domain experts reason in doma ...

  8. Ablative Flexible Aerogel TPS Materials for Mars Aerocapture and Entry

    SBC: ASPEN AEROGELS, INC.            Topic: X901

    Renewed interest in missions to explore other planets has created a need for new advanced heat shield systems that will protect spacecraft from the severe heating encountered during hypersonic flight through planetary atmospheres. Both reusable and ablative TPS have been developed to protect spacecraft. Typically, reusable TPS have been used for the Shuttle where the reentry conditions are relat ...

  9. Incremental Sampling Algorithms for Robust Propulsion Control

    SBC: AURORA FLIGHT SCIENCES CORPORATION            Topic: A108

    Aurora Flight Sciences proposes to develop a system for robust engine control based on incremental sampling, specifically Rapidly-Expanding Random Tree (RRT) algorithms. In this concept, the task of accelerating or decelerating the engine is treated as a path planning exercise. The control system actively searches for actuator inputs that allow the engine to traverse power settings without enteri ...

  10. Engineered Materials for Advanced Gas Turbine Engine

    SBC: ADVANCED POWDER SOLUTIONS INC            Topic: A201

    This project will develop innovative composite powders and composites that will surpass the properties of currently identified materials for advanced gas turbine engine applications. Phase I will demonstrate a powder metallurgy technique for fabricating high-temperature, oxidation-resistant composite powders. Once consolidated, the resulting composite will possess high creep and thermal fatigue ...
