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. Direct Performance Evaluation of Additive Manufacturing Process Plans

    SBC: INTACT SOLUTIONS, INC            Topic: 90

    Additive manufacturing is steadily advancing towards fulfilling its promise of customized and on-demand production of functional parts. However, performance of as-manufactured parts can differ significantly from the as-designed parts because the as-manufactured geometry differs from the as-designed geometry and the as-manufactured material properties are unknown. Attempts to predict performance of ...

  2. Transient E-Field Measurements as Test Diagnostics

    SBC: TRITON SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: DTRA202004

    Signals of various types are of interest to DTRA and DOD for conventional explosives testing. Past work has identified various general mechanisms by which the detonation of conventional explosives produces electric and electromagnetic phenomena. These mechanisms include early time ionization, case breakup, piezoelectric effects, lightning in the debris cloud, seismo-electric effects, and movement ...

  3. TRANSIENT ELECTRIC FIELD MEASUREMENTS AS TEST DIAGNOSTICS

    SBC: Integrated Solutions for Systems, Inc.            Topic: DTRA202004

    The potential of explosive energetics has long elicited the need for understanding, control, and optimization. Scientific theory, development, and experimental investigations collaborate to create applications for offensive and defensive strategies. Visual evidence of ionization, subsequent recombination, and shockwave interaction indicate that dynamic electrical potential distributions are intrin ...

  4. Novel silicon based Photomultiplier Chip

    SBC: Lightspin Technologies Inc            Topic: DTRA202006

    Despite being heavily optimized for high operating temperature and high irradiation environments, silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) fail miserably in both high irradiation and high temperature applications. The problem is a fundamental physics limitation of the underlying silicon. No processing tricks or shortcuts exist that can produce a significant improvement in the radiation tolerance of SiPMs. ...

  5. Rugged Ultrafast Radiation Hard Scintillators for Nuclear Battlefield

    SBC: CAPESYM INC            Topic: DTRA20B001

    Scintillator radiation detectors offer high sensitivity and relatively accurate radionuclide detection at a reasonable price. However, most of the available commercial scintillators have long decay times ranging from hundreds of nanoseconds to tens of microseconds. As a result, they have limited performance in high dose rate environments such as nuclear battlefields, robotic nuclear weapons test s ...

  6. Fast and Radiation Hard Scintillators for High Dose Detection

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: DTRA20B001

    The event of nuclear explosion generates harsh radiation conditions, evaluation of which is critical in order to protect the military and civilian personnel from serious harm. Due to these harsh conditions only very simple methods of radiation assessment are employed, such as measurement of equivalent dose. Improvements to current instrumentation are sought that would provide energy resolved dose ...

  7. Awayr Security: Validating the NIST Phish Scale Toward Artificial Intelligence Approaches Toward Human Cybersecurity

    SBC: Awayr, Inc            Topic: 90

    Remote operated social engineering (ROSE) attacks account for a surprising share of successful cyberattack. For example, The Verizon Data Breach Incident Response 2019 report found that approximately 94% of all malicious code was introduced into systems via email. Threat actors, illegally, benefit from knowledge gained from repeated massive remote operated social engineering operations. Defensive ...

  8. An Optical Imaging System to Characterize Mechanical Deformation at Microscopic Length Scale

    SBC: ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING INNOVATIONS LLC            Topic: 90

    Additive Manufacturing Innovations LLC (AM-Innov) in collaboration with Clarkson University and Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) proposes a new optical imaging system to characterize microscopic deformation of materials. The system, named as a Mechanical Testing at Microscale system (MT@micro), uses a micro-tensile testing device to mechanically load the specimen uniaxially and an optical imaging p ...

  9. An Integrated Data System for Machine Learning based Prediction of Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC)

    SBC: HelloMaxwell, Inc.            Topic: 90

    Radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) are key components for wireless communication system. RFIC’s hard-tomodel parasitic effects and poor simulation accuracy require multiple trial-and-error tape-outs (fabrications) to meet product specs. Tape-out is very slow (2 months) and very costly (as high as $2M). In the coming 5G era, this problem gets worse as mmWave frequency parasitic effects a ...

  10. Standardizing Grease Sampling and Characterization By Automated Online Device

    SBC: POSEIDON SYSTEMS, LLC            Topic: 90

    Scheduled grease sampling is one of the more reliable methods for detecting mechanical issues within machinery. Offline laboratory‐based analysis of the grease can indicate component failures, such as spalling via high concentrations of ferrous particulates. However, consistency, costs, and frequency of sampling are less than ideal. Manually collecting grease samples can put personnel in danger ...
