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. Graphite Fiber Reinforced Mg EKV Sunshade for Be Replacement and Cost and Mass Reduction

    SBC: METAL MATRIX CAST COMPOSITES, LLC (DBA M            Topic: MDA02021b

    In Phase I, we demonstrated that Mg-AZ31 alloy reinforced with graphite fibers has over 27% higher specific stiffness than beryllium. Since EKV sunshade is a stiffness critical application, sunshades manufactured from graphite/Mg could weigh 27% less than the current Be design. Further, testing at MMCC and preliminary results from Raytheon show the material to be gas impermeable. Using MMCC's n ...

  2. Low Expansion Metallic Nanolaminate Replicated Mirrors with CTE Matched High Conductivity Graphite Fiber Reinforced Magnesium Mirror Substrate Structu

    SBC: METAL MATRIX CAST COMPOSITES, LLC (DBA M            Topic: MDA04T005

    Magnetron sputtering of "Invar-like" nanolaminates onto a pre-finished/figured mandrel is proposed to produce strong, stiff, damage tolerant, low CTE replicas. The structural substrate will be a high performance discontinuous graphite fiber reinforced Mg AZ31 metal matrix composite manufactured by pressure infiltration casting. MetGraf Mg composites have the following attractive attributes for s ...

  3. Three-Stage Hybridization of Ultra High Thermal Conductivity Heat Sinks and Spreaders for Advanced Radar and RF Components

    SBC: METAL MATRIX CAST COMPOSITES, LLC (DBA M            Topic: MDA04039

    By combining discontinuous graphite fiber preforms with inserts of ultra high thermal conductivity materials, we will create hybridized composites with thermal expansion matching to GaAs, SiC or GaN semiconductor amplifiers in advanced radar systems. Specifically, we will use a conventional MetGraf 4-230 skin/encapsulant (first stage, thermal conductivity = 230 W/mK) with high conductivity prefor ...

  4. High Conductivity Hybridized Graphite Reinforced Al Heat Sinks for Advanced Interceptor Missile Systems

    SBC: METAL MATRIX CAST COMPOSITES, LLC (DBA M            Topic: MDA04041

    Hybrid metal matrix composites are offered to meet the needs of high thermal conductivity heat sinks for electronic processors in advanced interceptor systems. MMCC's graphite fiber reinforced composite MetGraf 4-230 will serve as a skin to highly conductive cores of advanced graphitic materials. In plane thermal conductivity will be from 560 to 1120 W/mK while high through thermal conductivity p ...

  5. High Dynamic Range, Mulit-Band Scene Generator for Accurate HWIL Testing

    SBC: ION OPTICS, INC.            Topic: MDA04031

    Ion Optics will build on established, successful experience with resistive emitter arrays and add high dynamic range capabilities in two ways. First, Ion Optics is already developing a SiC-based emitter technology which will permit simulation of targets with radiometric temperatures up to 1200,aC. Second, we will add high radiance light (apparent temperature to 3000,aK) from a diode source to th ...

  6. Pultrusion-Based Production of Next-Generation Composite Missile Canisters

    SBC: KaZaK Composites Incorporated            Topic: MDA03054

    Missile defense rounds such as Patriot PAC-3 are stored, transported and launched from rectangular composite canisters. These canisters are currently made by filament winding. In Phase I KaZaK Composites performed work that suggested significant cost savings could result by pultruding the canister rather than filament winding. Pultrusion is a highly automated technology that replaces part by part ...

  7. Stratospheric Electrical Environments Applicable To Photovoltaic Arrays On HAA Platforms

    SBC: LIGHTNING TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: MDA04T008

    The objective of this program is to characterize the upper atmosphere electrical environment so that the effects of this environment on high altitude airships (HAA) and other platforms intending to operate in this environment can be determined, and protection methods developed. This includes transient luminous events (TLEs), such as red sprites and blue jets and their associated electrical propert ...

  8. Lightning and EM Hazards Protection Designs for Photovoltaic Arrays on HAA Platforms

    SBC: LIGHTNING TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: MDA04003

    Provide atmospheric electrical hazards risk mitigation and protection design methodology for large airships. Fill in gaps in existing protection design technology. Enable HAA's to be launched and recovered in a wider variety of weather conditions, and to operate successfully over thunderstorms.

  9. High Performance AlGaN HEMT Devices Grown on Lattice Matched Substrates

    SBC: MAGNOLIA OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: BMDO02003

    AlGaN-based heterostructures have demonstrated versatility in RF electronics applications which is practically unmatched by other material systems. In particular, the AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) constitute a leading candidate for simultaneously realizing ultra-high frequency, low noise and high power amplifiers covering the range from 3-40 GHZ. The main advantage of Al ...
