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. Bayesian Inference of Spacecraft Geometry and Pose

    SBC: VISION SYSTEMS INC            Topic: AF17AT007

    Space platforms are complex dynamical systems and there are many reasons to model them from ground telescope imagery as well as from space-based sensor platforms. One key motivation is to determine the operational state and configuration of the vehicle. Key questions such as did the solar panels fail to deploy, did the object begin to tumble unexpectedly may be addressed by a sufficiently detaile ...

  2. Flexible Broad-band Optical Device

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: AF17AT010

    Optical characterization of materials has remained an active area of research for many decades. With each advancement in light sources, detector technologies, microscopy, or compact spectroscopic analysis, a renewed effort is made to apply these technologies to material characterization, especially for biological tissues. There is a current need to characterize the details of the interaction of ...

  3. Optical Diagnostics and Analysis for Multiphase Blast

    SBC: PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC            Topic: AF17AT020

    The damage mechanisms induced by multi-phase blast weapons are not well understood. This is due to the complexity of the phenomenologies associated with weapon effects and also the difficulties associated with measuring and quantifying such phenomena under testing conditions. The proposed Phase I effort will develop an optical imaging and image analysis approach to identify and quantify multi-pha ...

  4. Plasmonic Thermal Emitter with Hyperbolic Metamaterial Heat Source

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: AF17AT022

    The development of high-efficiency thermal emitters with high spectral purity will provide a significant advantage for hardware-in-the-loop infrared scene testing. Nanohmics Inc. in collaboration with The University of Texas at Austin, propose to demonstrate a novel hyperbolic metamaterial (h-MM) driven plasmonic thermal emitter (i.e. optical antenna) that provides spectrally-tuned mid-wave and lo ...

  5. Thermal Monitoring of Quantum Cascade Lasers Using Scanning Near-Field Infrared Radiometry With Sub-Wavelength Resolution

    SBC: MAX-IR LABS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF17AT026

    Max-IR Labs, LLC., proposes a Phase I STTR program in conjunction with the University of Texas at Dallas to demonstrate the feasibility of the design, development, and production of scanning near-field infrared temperature sensor for thermal mapping of small heat sources. The specific application of the proposed instrument is targeted towards the optimization of the design of Quantum Cascade Laser ...

  6. Plenoptic Fluid Density Imaging

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: AF16AT06

    Instantaneous volumetric fluid imaging is crucial to high-speed aerodynamic development and testing. Rapid three-dimensional (3D) measurement of fluid density enables accurate capture of dynamic flow phenomena for validation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in wind tunnels. Nanohmics, Inc., teaming with the University of Texas (UT) Flowfield Imaging Laboratory, has developed the f ...

  7. Field Drug Identification Kit

    SBC: SensoDX II, LLC            Topic: A16AT008

    Illicit drug trafficking has increasingly been used to fund terrorist groups since the end of the Cold War. As illicit drugs increasingly finance terrorism, soldiers in the U.S. Army are increasingly playing an active role in identifying these drugs in difficult and demanding environments. Unfortunately, these devices have many shortcomings, such as being too expensive, bulky and heavy, being non- ...

  8. Lithium Ion / Super Capacitor Hybrid System

    SBC: Electro Standards Laboratory, Inc.            Topic: A15AT010

    A scalable hybrid lithium ion battery / super capacitor energy storage device is developed and the technology is matured such that the system reduces battery cell stress, improves temperature range, and increases effective battery lifetime and safety. This is an enabling technology that allows the use of very high energy batteries in applications that would otherwise be unsuitable for them.

  9. High-Altitude Atmospheric Characterization for Validation of Ground Testing Facilities

    SBC: PHYSICS, MATERIALS, AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS RESEARCH L.L.C.            Topic: AF16AT02

    Optimal design and successful operation of high-altitude (near-space range of 100-200kft) hypersonic flight vehicles hinges, among other factors, on accurate characterization of prevailing atmospheric freestream and disturbance conditions. This is due to the fact that drag, heat and structural loads experienced by the vehicle can vary significantly depending upon the nature of the flow over the ve ...
