Potomac Research LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: A18-034
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 $98,291. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code A18-034 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
We propose RADEC: Reservoir-based Anomaly DEtection and Control, a system based on the reservoir computing paradigm of machine learning for model-free timeseries prediction and estimation.Reservoir computing uses fast, efficient training algorithms to learn the dynamics of a timeseries, and can be trained in an online mode to adapt to changing systems.The RADEC system consists of two main components: an anomaly detector that compares actual to predicted system responses to detect when a mechanical system has faulted, and a controller module that learns appropriate control signals to achieve desired operation even in a faulted state.
