Award Data
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.

Interactive 3D Display System
SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC. Topic: N/AStandard CRT display technology does not work well in Lofargram analysis. CRTs induce fatigue which reduces user effectiveness. This program proposes use of a new computer interface device which allows both the generation of more effective (data-rich) displays and faster more intuitive interaction between display and operator. The basis of the interface device is location of the operator\'s point ...

INNOVATIVE FERROMAGNETIC SENSORS/INSTRUMENTATION TO MONITOR AIRCRAFT AGING
SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC. Topic: N/ACURRENT OPERATIONAL METAL AIRCRAFT ARE GETTING OLDER AND NEWER ONES USE MORE COMPOSITE MATERIALS. THE DESIGN OF BOTH THE CURRENT AND NEW AIRCRAFT IS BASED ON A DAMAGE TOLERANT PHILOSOPHY. THIS IMPLIES THAT THE AIRCRAFT SHOULD SUSTAIN THE REGULATORY FAIL-SAFE LOADS IN THE PRESENCE OF DEFEATS, UNTIL DETECTED THROUGH INSPECTION OR MALFUNCTION. PRESENT NDE TECHNIQUES TYPICALLY REQUIRE GROUNDING OF THE ...

SMART, REUSEABLE AND ADAPTIVE INSERTS FOR AIRCRAFT FASTNERS
SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC. Topic: N/AA typical aircraft requires extensive amounts of fasteners. Due to the harsh environment to which those fasteners are subjected locking systems for threaded connections are seriously critical to aircraft integrity. The most challenging environmental issue is the timperature range (-65F to +800F) in which the thread locking system must perform. Aircraft of mie-twentieth century design relied heavil ...

Superior Gr/Cu SEM-D Heat Sink
SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC. Topic: N/A1In submarine electronics modules, heat dissipated by electronic devices is typically transported along the length of the heat sink (upon which ICs are mounted) to the water cooled side walls. The current pure copper SEM-D heat sink limits the power dissipation per card to 26W in order to maintain acceptable device junction temperatures. Foster-Miller will demonstrate an innovative Gr/Cu metal mat ...

Holographic Controlled Reflectivity/Emissivity
SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC. Topic: N/AThe ability to continuously change the thermal reflectivity/emissivity of external spacecraft surfaces at will or automatically through a low voltage holographic film with no moving parts would have considerable performance, reliability, and cost impact on military and commercial spacecraft. Encompassing the external spacecraft surface as part of an active thermal management system will enable mor ...

Holographic Multiplexing for 3D Optical Memory
SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC. Topic: N/AOptical 3D data storage research has focussed on developing materials with little consideration given to basic system architecture questions. Basic design choices remain to be made; a key issue is bit versus wavefront recording schemes. These issues can only be resolved by demonstrating real architectures. Foster-Miller's holographic data recording system will be based on 3D optical storage materi ...

Bacteriorhodopsin Films for Sensor Survivability
SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC. Topic: N/AAn advanced laser on the battlefield is no ordinary weapon. Nor is it one that is easily defended against. Intense, coherent radiation from lasers can damage delicate sensors, the so-called "eyes of battle" or blind human eyes in a matter of microseconds -- so quickly that targets are destroyed before they know what hit them. An ideal protection for satellite and battlefield optical sensors would ...

ENHANCEMENT TO STEAM GENERATOR TUBING EDDY CURRENT INSPECTION BY APPLICATION OF THERMALLY INDUCED STRESSES
SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC. Topic: N/ASTEAM GENERATOR TUBES REPRESENT A UNIQUE PART OF THE REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS). LEAKAGE FROM ANY OTHER PART OF THE RCS IS CAPTURED BY THE CONTAINMENT BUILDING, BUT STEAM GENERATOR TUBE LEAKAGE IS TRANSPORTED OUT OF THE CONTAINMENT BUILDING ALONG WITH THE STEAM, WHICH IS NORMALLY UNCONTAMINATED. STEAM GENERATOR TUBES, CONSEQUENTLY, DESERVE, AND RECEIVE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION. THE ASSURANCE OF STE ...

NONDESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATION TO DIRECTLY MEASURE STEAM GENERATOR TUBE U-BEND VIBRATORY RESPONSE
SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC. Topic: N/AON FEBRUARY 9, 1991, AT THE MIHAMA UNIT 2 NUCLEAR POWER STATION, OPEARTED BY KANSAI ELECTRIC CORPORATION, A STEAM GENERATOR TUBE RUPTURED AND RELEASED APPROXIMATELY 9,000 GALLONS OF REACTOR COOLANT INTO THE SECONDARY SYSTEM. THE LEAKAGE CAUSED A RAPID DEPRESSURIZATION OF THE REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM, WHICH RESULTED IN AN AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP AND ACTUATION OF THE HIGH PRESSURE SAFETY INJECTION SYST ...

IN SITU INFARED FIBER OPTIC SENSOR FOR NDI CORROSION AND DISBOND DETECTION IN AIRCRAFT JOINTS/FASTENERS
SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC. Topic: N/AFOSTER-MILLER PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A NOVEL INFARED FIBER OPTIC SENSOR TO NON-DESTRUCTIVELY DETECT CORROSIVE ATTACK AND DISBONDING A BOTH METAL-TO-METAL AND COMPOSITE TO METAL JOINTS AND FASTENERS IN AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES. THIS NEW INFRARED NDI SYSTEM WILL BE A POWERFUL ANALYTICAL TOOL TO DETECT THE ONSET OF DISBONDING AND INTRUSION OF CORROSIVE ELEMENTS INTO THE JOINT LONG BEFORE IT BECOMES VISIBLE B ...
