Potomac Research LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: HR001120S0019-08

Potomac Research LLC — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Defense.

Phase I SBIR 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 $120,000. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
  • Topic code HR001120S0019-08 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description

Prediction of complex dynamical systems is an important task that has implications in a wide variety of technological and policy domains.  Accurate prediction of processes such as terrestrial and space weather, climate change, financial and economic markets, and pandemics can have profound policy and engineering impacts.  As a result, diverse methods of time series prediction have been developed.  We propose a time series prediction framework based on the reservoir computing formulation of machine learning that is extended to provide accurate forecasts even in cases of nonstationarity and phase changes.
