Reservoir Labs, Inc. — Department of Defense STTR Phase I: A20B-T018

Reservoir Labs, Inc. — STTR Phase I award from Department of Defense.

Phase I STTR feasibility signal

  • Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense in a technical approach.
  • Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
  • Obligated amount $171,495. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
  • Topic code A20B-T018 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description

Reservoir Labs, the University of California, Merced, and Prof. Eric Darve and Prof. George Papanicolaou (Stanford University) propose GEO-M2M (GEOmaterials; Microstructure To Macroscopic), an STTR effort that will develop, implement and deploy computational tools for simulating and predicting the 3D bulk electromagnetic response of geomaterials to remote sensing modalities from microstructural information. With a focus on concrete, GEO-M2M will develop high-performance simulation tools and algorithms for broader and more accurate geomaterial characterization at lower cost (time, low-SWAP) than existing techniques.  GEO-M2M’s increased accuracy and performance in characterization will have a direct impact on the establishment of weapon efficiency/penetration for combat purposes, where better models are needed to more rapidly predict physical properties using remote sensing. GEO-M2M will also lead to a measurable impact on maintaining the safety and improving combat capabilities of US Armed Forces.
