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. Mixed Elpasolite Scintillators

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: DTRA18B003

    The goal of this program is to develop the mixed elpasolite scintillators in order to achieve an energy resolution of  (≤ 2.5% (approaching 2%) at 662 keV for crystal sizes of up to 2 inch by 2 inch.  In this project we will investigate compositional changes in selected mixed-elpasolite(s) in order to achieve very high energy resolution.  By incorporating 6Li, neutron detection will also be t ...

  2. Materials Engineering of Alkali Halide and Rare Earth Halide Scintillators

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: DTRA182007

    Scintillators are the major components of radiation detection systems used in identification of Special Nuclear Materials. One of their key properties is the energy resolution (ER) that links directly to the isotope identification capabilities. Currently, the materials that provide high energy resolution (such as LaBr3:Ce) are expensive, while the low cost materials (such as NaI:Tl) provide poor e ...

  3. Nanosatellite Payloads for Tactical Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance

    SBC: Systems & Technology Research LLC            Topic: SOCOM193001

    Systems & Technology Research (STR) proposes to design a nanosatellite payload in support of Warfighter ISR via Distributed Satellites (WISRDS), a radio frequency (RF) signals intelligence (SIGINT) solution to rapidly provide actionable information to special operations forces in the tactical theater from satellites in low Earth orbit. The payload consists of a wideband, tunable, miniature antenna ...

  5. Counter-UAS Reinforcement learning Environment (The CURE)

    SBC: BOSTON FUSION CORP            Topic: DTRA192002

    The Counter-UAS Reinforcement learning Environment (The CURE) is a flexible, architecture-agnostic reinforcement learning (RL) training, evaluation, and demonstration environment paired with a state-of-the-art benchmark agent. The CURE is designed to allow researchers and RL experts to design, train, and test groundbreaking deep RL agents to avoid or defeat counter-UAS (C-UAS) challenges while com ...

  6. Semantic Models for the Identification of Laboratory Equipment (SMILE)

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: DTRA19B002

    Military operators must identify and catalogue the equipment they find when inspecting laboratory facilities. This information is used to determine the lab’s capabilities, including the lab’s potential for building weapons of mass destruction. Currently, operators use computer vision algorithms to help them classify equipment in pictures of laboratory environments. Unfortunately, current image ...

  7. Thermal and Fast Neutron Multiplicity Counter

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: DTRA162007

    Neutron multiplicity can provide effective detection and identification of shielded Special Nuclear Materials based on analysis of the time correlated neutron multiplicity distribution. RMD is developing two key materials for such applications: Cs2LiYCl6:Ce (CLYC) scintillator and dual-mode plastics.  CLYC offers efficient thermal neutron detection and excellent separation between gamma and neutr ...

  8. CANTEAN: Cave and Narrow Tunnel Exploration and Navigation

    SBC: SCIENTIFIC SYSTEMS CO INC            Topic: DTRA182002

    In response to the DTRA182-002 solicitation, we propose CANTEAN: Cave and Narrow Tunnel Exploration and Navigation, a flying system that employs the use of low-SWaP sensors and processors using advanced algorithms for rapid navigation and mapping of unknown, subterranean areas as part of a heterogeneous team. Bio-inspired obstacle avoidance and navigation and the efficient exchange and merging of ...

  9. Autonomous navigation through small, confined spaces

    SBC: GREENSIGHT INC.            Topic: DTRA182002

    GreenSight Agronomics (GSAg) is proposing to develop a man-portable, fully autonomous aerial mapping system to satisfy the goal of the solicitation: quickly and completely mapping a confined space with no human guidance. The vehicle will have a 400 mm frame size to provide an ideal balance between maneuverability, flight time, and payload capacity. We have chosen the Pixhawk platform running ArduP ...

  10. Materials Engineering of Alkali Halide and Rare Earth Halide Scintillators

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: DTRA182007

    Scintillators are the major components of radiation detection systems used in identification of Special Nuclear Materials. One of their key properties is the energy resolution (ER) that links directly to isotope identification capabilities. Typically the ER for scintillators varies from 3% (at 662 keV, FWHM) for the best materials to more common 6-7%. At the moment, many detectors use latter mater ...
