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. INTUITIVE NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR EFFECTIVE COLLISION-AVOIDANCE TACTICS (INSECT)

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N08T005

    Vertical short takeoff and landing (VSTOL) operators face numerous challenges, particularly during takeoff, hover, and landing operations. Threats take the form of power lines, structures, and—in the case of combat—enemy fire. Often, these threats are obscured when visibility is compromised by dust, sand, or snow. Maintaining awareness of the surrounding environment becomes almost impossible. ...

  2. Optimized Real-time Complex Information Display (ORCID) Phase II Proposal

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N08T004

    Advances in modeling and simulation, networking, and computer graphics technology have made it possible to conduct large-scale, distributed live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) training events, such as the Navy’s Fleet Synthetic Training (FST) exercises, on a regular basis. However, FST exercises are not without room for improvement. Instructors and exercise controllers often confront difficult ...

  3. ADAPT: Adaptive Device for Adaptive Performance Training

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N09T028

    Irregular warfare is increasingly the dominant form of military engagement. It is dynamic and unforgiving of errors, requiring warfighters to adapt fluidly to novel, complex, and ill-defined problems. The goal of this Phase II STTR is to implement and refine a training tool that builds adaptive expertise. The system teaches the learner to recognize and understand the fundamental principles underly ...

  4. Biologically Inspired Scene Estimation (BIS-E)

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: OSD10L04

    Scene understanding is incredibly difficult, as it requires the recreation of a 3D environment from noisy 2D image data. Greedy approaches to estimating scene attributes are computationally expensive and are not sufficient for solving many real-world problems (e.g., detecting a suspect moving through a scene). Further complicating matters, is that different levels of detail/description are require ...

  5. Fidelity in Learning Environments for the Effectiveness of Training (FLEET)

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N08012

    Training professionals recognize the need for more efficient and effective training, and they view simulators as a means to supplement live training at decreased costs. Though skill transfer from simulators to live-fly is likely to be high, there are currently no standard tools available for identifying the minimum level of simulator fidelity required for effective training and no standard perform ...

  6. Medicus- Laparoscopic Sugical Skills Training and Assessment Tool

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N101094

    While on deployment, many surgeons – including those who specialize in obstetric, vascular, cardiac, and orthopedic surgery – spend the bulk of their time performing trauma surgery. Such prolonged lapses in practice can result in the decay of specialized knowledge and skills. This becomes a major problem upon the surgeons’ return stateside, when they are expected to resume their specialty du ...

  7. COUNTER: Contermeasures for Opposing Undersea Naval Threats and Emergency Response

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N093192

    Current combat control systems require human manipulation that may unnecessarily draw the attention of the Commanding Officer (CO) and his team from more pressing matters such as damage control and re-engaging the enemy. There is no automatic method of selecting countermeasures and the CO must rely on crew actions, mental calculations, and approximations without the benefit of automated systems or ...

  8. Similarity Measures for Human Networks

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N092149

    The search for entities of interest (either individuals or groups) in large behavioral datasets has emerged as a key need for irregular warfare, counter-insurgency, and counter-terrorism. This search requires measures of similarity between networks, and the combination of diverse multi-dimensional measures into a single meaningful scalar measure of similarity. To address this challenge, Aptima has ...

  9. FAST-ACTS: Flexible Autonomous Support To Aid Context and Task Switching

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: N092125

    PEO IWS is currently developing the Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS). The USW-DSS will enhance the Combat Information Center (CIC) by providing a "Common Tactical Picture" to operators for shared situation awareness. To help define and improve the USW-DSS concept, solutions are needed that can improve CIC operators'' abilities to switch contexts and multi-task more efficiently. A ...

  10. Thermal Management System for Tactical Airborne High Power Laser Applications

    SBC: Aspen Systems, Inc.            Topic: N092112

    An efficient, compact, and lightweight thermal management system (TMS) is needed to enable integration of a 30kW solid-state high-energy laser (SSHEL) system into tactical airborne applications. Ultimately, the TMS should be less than the final design target of 100 lbs and 8 ft3 in volume. Inherent limitations to state-of-the-art technologies must be overcome to meet program goals. Aspen Systems p ...
