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. Deep Submicron Radiation Hardened Logic for Communications

    SBC: MICROELECTRONICS RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION            Topic: AF083204

    Micro-RDC will investigate scaling our 90nm Design-Hardened Structured ASIC (DH SASIC) to deep submicron (65nm, with considerations towards 45nm) feature sizes, enabling the design and fabrication of high-performance digital integrated circuits for satellite communications systems, especially for Transformational Satellites (TSATs).  To make our planned DH ASICs affordable we will design a family ...

  2. Coherence Collapse- Speckle Reduction at the Laser Source

    SBC: Microvision, Inc.            Topic: AF083233

    Laser projection systems deliver the highest resolution, contrast ratios, color purity, and screen uniformity as compared to other display technologies used in flight simulation but suffer from an image artifact called speckle that manifests as random variations in the image intensity resulting from interference of many projected and scattered coherent laser light waves.  Contractor proposes a sp ...

  3. Low-Power, Software Defined Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver

    SBC: THE NAVSYS CORPORATION            Topic: AF083163

    Recent improvements in Software Defined Radio technology have resulted in miniaturized, low cost radios for communication applications. Under previous efforts, NAVSYS has shown the capability to also use these SDRs for GPS navigation. We propose to leverage our previous experience with software GPS receivers to develop under this contract a miniaturized, low-power GNSS SDR that has the flexibili ...

  4. Develop low-cost high-speed image processing and visualization techniques for persistent surveillance applications.

    SBC: NEVA RIDGE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: AF083144

    Neva Ridge Technologies proposes techniques to reduce the computational complexity associated with GOTCHA SAR processing through innovative improvements to the GOTCHA processor flow. The proposed approach treats the exploitation chain systemically. Specific improvements include the implementation of a fast back projection algorithm that combines SAR image formation steps with the co-generation o ...

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

    SBC: NEVA RIDGE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: AF083014

    Coherent and non-coherent change detection algorithms produced from SAR imagery have enormous intelligence value due to their sensitivity to change. But they are also difficult to interpret because of high false alarm rates and because of the basic statistical nature of SAR imagery which makes automatic filtering algorithms very difficult to robustly implement. This necessitates man-in-the-loop an ...

  6. Photochemical Tissue Bonding for Military Medical Applications

    SBC: nLight Photonics            Topic: AF07T033

    As described in our Phase I proposal: the overall goal is to develop a complete system for micro-anastomosis of blood vessels. This involves (1) a unique laser system that uses water as the absorbing chromophore, (2) a clinically useful handpiece that is appropriate for microsurgery, (3) a novel albumin stent to support the vessel during anastomosis, (4) in vitro testing of the device to assess th ...

  7. Multi-modal Performance Driven Sensing

    SBC: NUMERICA CORPORATION            Topic: AF08BT02

    To provide complementary data and enable the synergistic gain from the fusion of multiple sensing modalities, there have been recent efforts to incorporate multiple sensors on the same platform. This approach may require vastly different detector material and apertures (optical lenses and antennas) due to the physics involved. However, within a limited spectral range (e.g., visible through infrare ...

  8. Three-dimensional Context and Feature Aided Multitarget Tracking

    SBC: NUMERICA CORPORATION            Topic: AF083172

    Dismount discrimination is often based on static EO or IR target attributes such as height, length, and color. Various algorithms such as gait estimation have been developed to distinguish dismounts from other moving objects. Techniques that build high-fidelity 3D models of dismounts are fragile when applied to real imagery (i.e., video mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with limited comm ...

  9. Multi-Target Track and ID with Persistent Hyperspectral Data

    SBC: NUMERICA CORPORATION            Topic: AF081071

    Military operations in urban warfare provide an added emphasis to effectively detect, track, and ID ground targets in challenging environments.  Given the high dynamic nature of ground targets and the ambiguity that may result from closely spaced targets, incorporation of feature data from sensors such as hyperpsectral imagery (HSI) cameras provides a means to disambiguate the tracking of these t ...

  10. Small, Lightweight, Multimode Ladar for High-ConfidenceTargeting and ISR Missions

    SBC: Ophir Corporation            Topic: AF083149

    The military tactics of our current environment—asymmetric warfare—demand effective targeting and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). Target identification confidence can be greatly enhanced by interrogating and evaluating several, independent, target features. These include: surface reflectivity, surface type (metal vs. organic), target 3D structure, target 2D image and su ...
