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. Novel Resin System for Low-VOC, Chromate Free, Highly Flexible Aircraft Primer

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF07T010

    To meet the need for a high performance flexible primer that is low-VOC, chromate free, and compatible with existing coating systems, Luna Innovations is developing a new class of flexible coating binder, based on novel resin technology. Through a strong fundamental understanding of polymer structure-property relationships, coating formulation expertise, and coatings characterization, the Luna te ...

  2. Self-Assembled Polarizing Material

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF08T027

    Detection and recognition of targets on a scene is the main utility of remote sensing in defense applications. Polarimetric imaging offers significant advantages for remote sensing. Utilization of polarization imaging was hampered by luck of speed, excessive volume, and expensiveness of common approaches. Polarization-sensitive imaging sensor employing micropolarizing plates offer a promising solu ...

  3. Anti-coking additive for ester-based aerospace gas turbine engine oils

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF083075

    Luna Innovations proposes a novel anti-coking additive system for ester-based gas turbine engine oil. The additive package is synthesized and formulated to achieve the objective of a 50% reduction in both liquid and gas phase coking compared to the current MIL-PRF-23699 oils as measured by standard coking test. The additives will increase the high temperature stability of the turbine oil. The hydr ...

  5. Dielectric Reflector Particles for Laser Protection Coatings

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF083090

    The U.S. Air Force faces an emerging threat from high energy laser systems designed to intercept air munitions prior to impact on the intended targets.  A cost effective approach would require that all existing weapons systems be upgraded with a coating that provides some degree of laser protection.  Luna Innovations Incorporated is proposing to develop a novel additive that will allow such a co ...

  6. Quantitative Propellant Diagnostics with Ultrasonic Guided Waves

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF083115

    Given their polymeric and viscoelastic nature, solid propellants are subject to various aging effects that may lead to failure of the asset.  Many of these aging effects relate back to degradation or variation in material properties/behavior over time.  Luna proposes to address this issue with an ultrasonic guided wave approach capable of extracting engineering properties from portions of the pr ...

  7. Dielectric Nanocomposite Films with Increased Energy Storage for Pulsed Power Capacitors

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF083085

    With the increasing requirements for compact, lightweight, high power storage systems, the development of new high energy density dielectric materials is important. Dielectric nanocomposites are hybrid systems that offer the potential to meet the next energy storage requirements by combining the high k performance of ceramics with the high breakdown strength and low loss of polymers. Currently d ...

  8. Quick Release Appliqué Films

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF083078

    Appliqué films are much more attractive than conventional conformal coatings for current and future aerospace applications. Not only can the appliqué function as a zero VOC top coat, but additional functionality can be built into the appliqué, such as embedded sensors and electronics. A major drawback to appliqués is that their high film adhesion makes removal difficult. Either substantial ...

  9. Advanced Oil Filter Load Monitoring for Aircraft Engine Bearing Diagnostics

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: AF081053

    Early indication of impending main engine bearing failure is critical, especially for single engine fighter aircraft such as the F16. Bearing degradation leading to failure is characterized by increasing amounts of bearing spall debris entering the engine lubricant flow. Magnetic chip collectors are widely fielded to capture anomalous debris, but typically suffer low capture efficiency and lack ...
