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. Nanostructured PVD Smart Wear Resistant Coatings for In-Situ Health Prognostics

    SBC: Tribologix Inc            Topic: AF081040

    Having successfully demonstrated the concept of a smart wear resistant coating during our phase I project we shall design and fabricate a smart wear resistant PVD coating and sensor package for 3 distinct commercial applications: (1) jet engines, (2) cutting & forming tools and (3) friction and wear test devices.  Modern PVD wear coatings can protect parts from wear induced failure, however, it i ...

  2. High Temperature Solid Lubricants for Bearings

    SBC: Tribologix Inc            Topic: AF083064

    The goal of this SBIR program is to further develop the technology of i-KOTE® solid film lubricant coatings via well controlled experiments to explore the high temperature capabilities of doped nanostructured films of i-KOTE® using boron compounds as chameleon additives. The i-KOTE® family of solid film lubricants are a complex combination of synergistic nanomaterials capable of changing the ...

  3. Metal Oxide Nanopowders for the Production of Transparent Windows

    SBC: UES INC            Topic: AF07T009

    In the Phase I STTR work, YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) was identified as the superior choice for use as a UV-VIS window in advanced propulsion applications, based on measured properties and literature data.  YAG provides a better combination of retained high temperature strength, creep resistance, optical isotropy and resistance to neutron irradiation.  The Phase II STTR program is focused on t ...

  4. High-Temperature Environmental Barrier Coating for Silicon Carbide Composites

    SBC: UES INC            Topic: AF08BT21

    A key limitation in the use of silicon carbide based composites (SiC/SiC) in the next generation turbine engines is their poor oxidation resistance and SiO2 recession at high temperatures particularly in the presence of water vapor.   The primary objective of an environmental barrier coating (EBC) is to provide the necessary protection to SiC/SiC composites from water vapor attack and to reduce ...

  5. Development of Compact, Lightweight Power Transmission Devices for Directed Energy Applications

    SBC: UES INC            Topic: AF08BT12

    The proposal addresses the issues related to the design of a MW class DC or AC current transmission line suitable for use onboard of an aircraft. The main questions are the amount of losses in such a line and the efficiency, weight and overall size of the whole system. The key issues that are addressed in the proposal are the amount of AC losses in the superconducting line and the heat losses in t ...

  6. Physics-Based Probabilistic Life-Prediction Model for Advanced Hot-Section Turbine Disk Materials With Gradient Microstructures

    SBC: UES INC            Topic: AF083077

    In the proposed Phase I program we intend to develop a physics-based, microstructure-sensitive 3D constitutive model for the prediction of fatigue, creep and resulting damage behaviors of advanced hot-section gradient-microstructure turbine disk materials.  We will interface the proposed fatigue and creep model with an analytical yield-strength prediction model to effectively incorporate microstr ...

  7. Spall Propagation-Resistant Hybrid Bearings for High-Performance Turbine Engines

    SBC: UES INC            Topic: AF073053

    The objective of this SBIR project is to develop spall propagation resistant turbine engine mainshaft bearings for improved reliability, safety, and performance margin of aircraft propulsion systems. New case carburized Pyrowear 675 steel has been developed for bearing races that has been shown to resist surface fatigue initiation and therefore improve fatigue life significantly compared to the cu ...

  8. High Temperature Solid Lubricants for Bearings

    SBC: UES INC            Topic: AF083064

    High mach gas turbine engines will require bearings to operate at high temperatures (900-1200ºF). At such temperatures fluid lubricants will not work. UES Inc. proposes to develop robust high temperature solid lubricant coating systems utilizing commercially viable process. The coating systems will be characterized in terms of adhesion, microstructure, mechanical properties and tribological cha ...

  9. Advanced Ultra-Lightweight Hybrid/Composite Mirrors (ULHCMs)

    SBC: UES INC            Topic: AF073041

    This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II program seeks to develop a pioneering mirror replication technology for producing hybridized ultra-light mirrors for space applications. Current state-of-the art space mirrors do not satisfy the ULHCMs (Ultra-Lightweight Hybrid/Composite Mirrors) concepts that require 1 to 5 kg/m2 of areal density. An innovative new mirror fabrication approach is ne ...
