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. Adaptive Integrated Multi-Modal Sensing Array

    SBC: POLARIS SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: AF08BT02

    Polaris Sensor Technologies is proposing to use quantum dot technology that has been  recently developed which has the ability to tune the spectral response of a sensor in real-time.   In the Phase I we will study the feasibility of integrating such a focal plane to either fixed or adaptive polarization capability.  The adaptive polarization capability would be based on dynamically controllabl ...

  2. Spatially Registered Multispectral Polarimetric Sensor

    SBC: POLARIS SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: AF071239

    Polarization imaging has the potential benefit target detection, discrimination, and tracking applications as well as applications for characterizing and identifying short duration phenomena such as muzzle flash and rocket launches. Spectro-polarimetric systems offer the most comprehensive types of data to characterize fast, high temperature events, such as muzzle flashes, missile exhaust plumes, ...

  3. Ultra-wideband (UWB) Over-the-Horizon (OTH) Radar Array

    SBC: Q-Track Corporation            Topic: AF073064

    In Phase I, Q-Track assessed the feasibility of a variety of element and array designs for an Over-the-Horizon (OTH) radar array. Q-Track identified a capacitively coupled, connected curtain array as being most promising for the OTH radar application. This array can be implemented with relatively few towers so it will be simple and inexpensive to implement, yet the array concept appears to have th ...

  4. AM Broadcast Signal-of-Opportunity Location Device

    SBC: Q-Track Corporation            Topic: AF083099

    Q-Track has identified the AM broadcast band as the most promising choice for a signal-of-opportunity to improve navigation in GPS denied areas.  We propose an asynchronous time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) architecture using classical direction finding (DF) to resolve the integer ambiguity in phase comparison between AM band broadcast signals. This architecture will also be able to support a hig ...

  5. Innovative Micro Air Vehicles & Control Techniques for Urban Environments

    SBC: Radiance Technologies, Inc.            Topic: AF081077

    Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) will provide an important capability for both military and civilian uses, including reconnaissance, target identification, search and rescue, and bomb damage indication. The development of effective MAVs for these missions will require the production of a real-time autonomous flight navigation and obstacle avoidance system for operation in complex urban environments wh ...

  6. Micro Munition Adaptive Structure Flight Control Technology

    SBC: Radiance Technologies, Inc.            Topic: AF081050

    Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) provide an important military and civilian capability to very rapidly deploy an aerial platform for surveillance and observation with minimal resources (i.e. single operator).  As a surveillance platform they can be used for reconnaissance, target identification, assessing bomb damage, search and rescue, locating survivors, etc.  The development of effective MAVs for ...

  7. Multimodal Synthetic Aperture Radar (MM-SAR) Exploitation

    SBC: Radiance Technologies, Inc.            Topic: AF083014

    This topic will address the need to increase the image analyst''''s ability to compare SAR images of a common scene taken at different times, also known as change detection.  Within this study pixel level (coherent) and aggregate level (non-coherent) change detection methods will define two dimensions of a trade space to quantify the means and methods needed to enhance AF change detection abiliti ...

  8. GEOINT Open Source Tool

    SBC: Radiance Technologies, Inc.            Topic: AF083020

    The principle goals of this proposed activity, GEOINT Open Source Tool (GOST), are to research and demonstrate innovative exploitation and analysis processes and tools associated with the efficient integration of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) into Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) products.  Increasingly, GEOINT imagery analysts (IA) professionals need to quickly assimilate social, economic, an ...

  9. Legerdemain: An Illusion-based system to thwart covert access and exfiltration

    SBC: SENTAR, INC.            Topic: OSD09IA2

    The integration of software and components from multiple sources, the interconnection of systems via the internet, and the rapid pace of change in the computer industry as a whole virtually guarantee the continued emergence of threats to systems and information via new and undetected vulnerability vectors. Moreover, malicious insiders and social engineering can also be involved in cases of covert ...

  10. TETMAN: Three-dimensional Exploitation Techniques for Moving And Non-rigid targets

    SBC: PHOTON-X, INC.            Topic: AF083172

    The Air Force is seeking a means of using multiple types of sensors (EO, IR, RF) on multiple platforms to perform layered sensing of a large region. The sensors will combine their outputs – including feature extraction/data representation – through a shared GIS system. The multi-sensor, co-registered data will result in improved situational awareness. Human dismounts will be the smallest ob ...
