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. Target Discrimination for Subsurface Ordance Characterization

    SBC: BARRON ASSOCIATES, INC.            Topic: N/A

    The Cesium vapor magnotometer and ground-penetrating radar senors currently used to identify subsurface Unexploded Ordnance locations also respond to underground clutter and anomalies. The ultimate objective of this project is to develop a classifier or discriminator that has the potential of providing significantly improved performance on target discrimination for subsurface ordnance ...

  2. Improved Guidance of Autonomous Munitions and Submunitions

    SBC: BARRON ASSOCIATES, INC.            Topic: N/A

    This proposal relates to autonomous guidance of air-to-surface miniaturized munitions and sub-munitions, including (1) a class of I-250 bombs and (2) a class of boosted kinetic energy penetrators. Barron Associates, Inc. proposes to demonstrate the advantages of optimum inverse guidance that minimizes maneuver losses of trajectory specific energy and thereby reduces impact miss distance, increase ...

  3. Reinforcement Learning for Avionics Applications

    SBC: BARRON ASSOCIATES, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Simulation-based optimization techniques that enlist reinforcement learning controllers are ideally suited for complex and multi-objective optimization problems that cannot be solved easily using traditional techniques, especially when the stochastic natures or the environment, resources, and external interactive entities are taken into account. Reinforcement learning based on incremental value i ...

  6. Thermal Fuel Tank Leak Detection Device

    SBC: DCS CORP.            Topic: N/A

    DCS Corporation proposes to build a bench top prototype system to demonstrate the concept of using thermal sensors to visualize the flow of leaking air from a fuel tank. The air would be heated and pressurized in the fuel tank to aid thermal detection. As part of this effort, DCS proposes to determine the basic requirements required for fuel mechanics to detect leaks using this method and to des ...

  9. AN AUTOMATED TRAINING SYSTEM FOR BUILDING EXPERTISE

    SBC: Decision Science Associates            Topic: N/A

    COMPUTER-BASED TUTORIAL SYSTEMS HAVE NOW BECOME EFFECTIVE TRAINERS IN A NUMBER OF DOMAINS. MANY GOOD SYSTEMS ARE MODELED AFTER THEORIES OF HUMAN LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION. HOWEVER, SUCH SYSTEMSTYPICALLY ASSUME A LIMITED VIEW OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE, HENCE LIMITING THEIR APPLICABILITY TO INTRODUCTORY LEVEL MATERIAL. RESEARCH BY THE PROPOSED PROJECT TEAM HAS SHOWN THAT EXPERTS HAVE A BROAD RA ...

  10. SIGNAL PROCESSING ARCHITECTURE FOR A DISTRIBUTED SPARSE ARRAY (DSA) RADAR SYSTEM

    SBC: Decision-science            Topic: N/A

    A PROGRAM IS PROPOSED FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF TECHNIQUES FOR PROVIDING COHERENT OPERATION AND BEAM SYCHRONIZATION IN A DISTRIBUTED SPARSE ARRAY RADAR SYSTEM. THE RADAR SYSTEM CONSIDERED WOULD ADDRESS WIDE AREA SURVEILLANCE MISSIONS AND FUNCTIONS FROM SPACE USING TECHNOLOGY IDENTIFIED IN THE USAF FORECAST II STUDY RECENTLY COMPLETED. THE EFFORT WILL EVALUATE SEVERAL CANDIDATE TECHNIQUES INCLUDING LAS ...
