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. Fiber-laser-based Mobile Atomic Sensor (FIMAS)

    SBC: AOSENSE, INC.            Topic: AF20AT002

    Environmental structures of interest like mountains, tunnels, and deposits of minerals, oil or gas produce distortions in the local gravitational field. Sensing gravity anomalies and comparing them to a gravity map can provide positioning immune to the drift of purely inertial navigation systems. Existing gradiometers with sufficient sensitivity are large and heavy, requiring manned aircraft and h ...

  2. Magnetic reference sensor for GPS-free navigation

    SBC: Twinleaf LLC            Topic: AF20AT002

    Magnetic navigation using measurements of the Earth's crustal magnetic field variation is a promising new approach for use by aircraft flying in a GPS-denied environment. The magnetic signature of the crust cannot be masked or jammed. We propose to develop a magnetic field reference sensor ideally suited for magnetic navigation: it must measure the total magnetic field with high sensitivity ...

  3. Integrated Photonic Quantum Frequency Processor for High-Dimensional QIP

    SBC: FREEDOM PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: AF20AT003

    To formulate the ultimate quantum computer, it is likely the case that several technologies will be combined in a hybrid fashion, in which dissimilar and physically separated qubits are joined via universal quantum interconnects – a network dubbed the “quantum internet”. Quantum information processing in the photonic domain allows for information to transmitted over appreciable distances, op ...

  4. LOQI: Leveraging Optimization using Quantum-devices for Internet-security

    SBC: QC WARE CORP.            Topic: AF20AT003

    The Leveraging Optimization via Quantum-devices for Internet-security (LOQI) proposal aims to demonstrate the power of hybrid (quantum/classical) optimization approaches for classes of combinatorial optimization problems that are relevant to several cyber-security settings. In Phase 1 (this proposal) we will conduct a feasibility study to develop an analytical framework and algorithms, and prototy ...

  5. Quantum Entanglement on Drones

    SBC: QUBITEKK, INC.            Topic: AF20AT004

    Devices that make use of quantum phenomena are being developed at an ever-increasing pace as the field of quantum information transitions from ‘understanding’ to ‘control’ in order to harness aspects of quantum mechanics to realize capabilities in computing, sensing, and communication that are simply not possible in the classical world. The growing prevalence of quantum devices will, in tu ...

  6. Systems-Driven Component Development for Photon-Superconductor Multi-Node Quantum Networks

    SBC: Rigetti & Co, Inc.            Topic: AF20AT004

    Large-scale quantum networks require new technologies for coherently routing quantum information between distant quantum memories or processing nodes. Notably, low-noise transducers for coherent microwave-optical signals endeavor to combine two of the most successful quantum platforms together, allowing quantum photonic networks to establish entanglement links between distant superconducting qubit ...

  7. Advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits for Quantum Key Distribution Transmitters

    SBC: FREEDOM PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: AF20AT004

    Quantum technology advances are currently at the forefront of U.S. military interest. In particular, recent developments in quantum communications have successfully demonstrated quantum key distribution (QKD) in space by the Chinese Micius satellite for quantum studies and quantum communication. Freedom Photonics is exploring photonic integrated circuit (PIC) solutions for time-bin QKD satellite a ...

  8. Quantum-Entangled Ensemble Network (QuEEN)

    SBC: AOSENSE, INC.            Topic: AF20AT004

    Robust entanglement of spatially separated particles or ensembles of particles is an enabling technology for quantum networking, quantum communication, and quantum information processing. While a variety of platforms have supported demonstrations of this type of entanglement, room-temperature atomic vapor cells are a particularly attractive implementation because of the relative simplicity of the ...

  9. Reconfigurable/Cognitive Optical Communications

    SBC: VULCAN WIRELESS, INC.            Topic: AF18AT010

    As the number of optical communication terminals proliferate there will be a need to have these terminals interoperate.  In the past, optical terminals were designed with a single purpose in mind.  New space constellations are requiring non-RF crosslink solutions.  It is expected that there will be a large number of both commercial and military systems providing crosslinks and space to earth li ...

  10. Compact Diode-pumped Ultra-broad Wavelength Tunable Fiber Laser Source at 3 Micro

    SBC: TIPD LLC            Topic: AF20ATCSO1

    Compact diode-pumped mid-infrared laser sources with broad wavelength tunability have attracted considerable attention for many years because of their practical and potential applications in laser surgery, spectroscopy, remote sensing, optical pump sources for longer wavelength infrared oscillators, and infrared countermeasures. Based on the current research result of a new codoped glass material ...
