Description
F15, ACAT III, IDENTIFY FRIEND OR FOE, RETROFIT OF APX-114 AND APX-119
Score Rationale
This is a retrofit of legacy Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) systems (APX-114/119 variants), a 1970s-era technology with no AI/ML component mentioned or implied. The description is purely equipment designation and procurement language ('ACAT III' is acquisition category); no AI techniques, autonomous systems, or ML-driven capability appear anywhere. Awardee is Raytheon Company, a top-five legacy defense prime, disqualifying it from the 'AI-native startup' signal entirely.
