The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. 3-D LADAR Polarimeter

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Polarization will increasingly be an important tool in ballistic missile defense. However, in practice, implementing a robust polarimetric system necessitates addressing a number of complex issues and challenges. Furthermore, polarimetric systems,traditionally have relied on spatial or sequential scanning mechanisms to record the multi-dimensional datacube. Due to spatial and/or temporal aliasing, ...

  2. Radiation Hard, Stacked LADAR Circuits

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: N/A

    To engender future developments in space-based ladar systems, innovative approaches to realizing high-density, radiation-hard readout integration circuits (ROIC) are required. The object of this proposed effort is to support space-based ladar sensingsystems by developing a radiation hard, high-performance, ladar ROIC based on wafer-stacked, rad-hard, SOI CMOS integrated circuits that achieve high- ...

  3. High Reliability, Radiation Hard, Electron Bombarded SOI CMOS Image Tubes

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Electron-bombarded sensors have been researched for over thirty years and the general theory of operation has been proven and prototype devices demonstrated. However thus far, they have yet to be manufactured in a cost effective manner with optimizedperformance characteristics. Furthermore, the state of the art EBCCD device has no proven reliability.In this Phase I program, we propose to develop a ...

  4. Rad Hard, Back-illuminated, SOI CMOS Star Tracker

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: N/A

    To satisfy the demand for a reliable, high sensitivity, radiation hardened imager for space vehicle navigation star tracking tasks, we will design, simulate and optimize a radiation hard, silicon-on-insulator (SOI), fully-depleted, back-illuminatedstartracking sensor with enhanced sensitivity and centroiding capability. The device is unique in its performance and its radiation hardness. Radiation ...

  5. High-Performance Geiger Mode 1.06 micron APD Array

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Conventional InGaAs/InP based APDs have very poor multiplication noise performance. While InGaAs is an excellent infrared absorber, it is a poor signal multiplier. InGaAs/InP APD devices also exhibit poor dark current and afterpulsing characteristics,which result in false signals and makes their utility for Geiger mode detection problematic. In contrast, silicon is an excellent multiplier, but unf ...

  6. Active/Passive Two-color Infrared Focal Plane

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: N/A

    We will optimize the design of a monolithic, highly-integrated, active/passive, two-color infrared detector capable of S/MWIR avalanche photodetection, (S)MWIR passive photodetection, or LWIR passive photodetection. The structure is constructed usingback-to-back photodiodes (one designed for unity gain or avalanche operation) manufactured with well-established, band-engineered HgCdTe heterostructu ...

  8. Secure, high bandwidth telemetry

    SBC: RADIO DESIGN GROUP, INC.            Topic: N/A

    "MVSK provides the ability to realize enhanced data rates over a power-constrained channel at the same or greater distance as a lower-rate, narrowband link without the addition of extensive, signal processing or complex and expensive adaptive antennacapabilities. The benefits include practically jam-proof and interference-proof operation, resistance to many deleterious on-air propagation effects, ...

  9. Carbon Foam Innovative Processing

    SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY, LTD.            Topic: N/A

    "The Missile Defense Agency has a need for innovative processes that will improve manufacturing capabilities, product quality and reliability, reduce unit costs and enhance manufacturing yields and subsystems and component performance. Carbon foam hasdemonstrated numerous properties that make it a candidate material for several MDA-sponsored programs including: space-based mirrors, lightweight s ...

  10. Lightweight Sandwich Structure Panels for Space Applications

    SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY, LTD.            Topic: N/A

    "The U.S. Navy is striving to find ways to build more ships for the same dollar and at the same time improve performance. This requires lower ship acquisition and life cycle costs. To achieve these goals, the Navy and its shipbuilders have implementedvarious initiatives, many under the domain of "Lean Manufacturing." The goal is to lower Navy ship acquisition and life cycle costs and simultaneousl ...
