Description
ENGINEERING CHANGE PROPOSAL TO ACQUIRE BORESIGHT TOWERS (BST) TO SUPPORT EACH OF THE ADVANCED RADAR THREAT SYSTEMS-VARIANT 1 (ARTS-V1) SYSTEMS.
Score Rationale
This award funds physical hardware (boresight towers for radar calibration)—a mechanical/electrical engineering procurement with zero AI/ML content. The problem is stated as a narrow logistics/parts need ('acquire boresight towers') rather than an operational capability gap. GTARC is a university research corporation entity, which signals institutional rather than AI-native commercial structure, though it is not a legacy prime.
