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. Micro ElectroMechanical Systems Optical Beam Steerers

    SBC: MEMX, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    A collaborative effort between MEMX and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) is proposed to develop an innovative approach to enhancing LIDAR and optical communication transmitter systems and components with Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) beam steering components. The MEMS Optical Beam Steerers (MOBSTERs) will demonstrate a capability that is scalable to space or c ...

  2. An Ultra-Narrow Tunable Optical Bandpass Filter

    SBC: METROLASER, INCORPORATED            Topic: N/A

    MetroLaser proposes to design and develop an innovative ultra-narrow tunable optical bandpass filter (UNTOBF) based on the properties of a dielectric photonic crystal structure with a resonant cavity. Such a structure can exhibit an ultra-narrow high-transmission band in the middle of a wide low-transmission stop-band. During Phase I, we will demonstrate experimentally the proof-of-concept for an ...

  3. Optical Sensor for Detection of Fatigue Damage Precursors

    SBC: METROLASER, INCORPORATED            Topic: N/A

    Reliable and operationally simple methods that can be used in the field are needed for expeditious fatigue damage and corrosion detection. We have developed a strategy for constructing a laser-based nondestructive sensor for fatigue and corrosion damage detection and monitoring in aerospace components. The sensor detects precursors to crack formation occurring as early as the first 10% of fatigue ...

  4. Autonomous Optical Navigation for Planetary Orbiters

    SBC: Microcosm, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    Using standard spacecraft attitude determination sensors, in particular a star sensor and planet sensors, an autonomous navigation system will be developed for planetary orbiters, offering absolute navigation accuracy on the order of ?100 m. This capability directly supports automated rendezvous and docking missions in Earth orbit as well as at other solar system bodies, such as Mars. The navigati ...

  5. Compact X-ray Tube with Carbon Nanotube Cathode

    SBC: Microwave Power Technology            Topic: N/A

    MPT proposes to construct a simple electron beam analyzer specifically for measuring the angular dispersion of the emitted electrons. With this information in hand we will then make the required adjustments in our simulation software to set the initial conditions for electrons emitted for CNT cathodes. We will then use computers to investigate candidate electrode configurations for electron guns a ...

  6. A low-power and high performance stereo vision processor for robotic navigation

    SBC: MOSAIX TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: N/A

    This Small Business Innovative Research Phase I project proposes to develop a novel high performance hardware implementation of the stereo vision algorithm developed at JPL by Larry Matthies and co-workers in the Machine Vision Group. While there have been a number of reported hardware implementation reported to-date, our implementation will be the first such implementation to achieve all four des ...

  7. Novel Identification Tools for Multiresolution Analysis of Aeroservoelastic Flight Test Data

    SBC: NIELSEN ENGINEERING & RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Aeroelastic studies, such as the prediction of flutter boundaries and limit cycle oscillations, play a critical role in aircraft safety and design. To perform these analyses with the required accuracy, nonlinear aerodynamic, and possibly nonlinear structural, effects must be included. Furthermore, these effects must be considered early in the design cycle in order to reduce life cycle costs. The V ...

  8. Acoustic Shear Stress Sensor for Flight Research

    SBC: NIELSEN ENGINEERING & RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Nielsen Engineering & Research (NEAR) is proposing to develop a robust, nonintrusive aerodynamic shear stress sensor for use in aircraft flight testing. This sensor is based on technology developed by NEAR under a previous SBIR contract. In the proposed Phase I contract, NEAR will take this established sensor concept and refine it to create an instrument which can withstand the rigors of the fligh ...

  9. Comprehensive Uncertainty Estimation for CFD

    SBC: NIELSEN ENGINEERING & RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the primary tool of aerodynamic design, and the ability to reduce and quantifyuncertainties in CFD results is essential. Efforts throughout theCFD community are aimed at improving the accuracy of CFD methods. The proposed work will develop computational algorithms and softwarethat yield comprehensive estimates of uncertainty in CFD results. The methods involve ...

  10. Radiation tolerant non volatile memory with Hard by Design Techniques

    SBC: NxGen Electronics, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    MeltroniX Inc proposes to research and rapidly develop radiation hardened non volatile memory microelectronics, based on commercial ferroelectric technolgy. These FRAMs designed by Ramtron exhibit excellent radiation performance in the memory cell but are extrememly sensitive in the peripheral circuitry. We will apply hard-by-design techniques, with the support of Ramtron, to develop a rad hard ve ...
