Description
MILLIMETER-WAVE DIGITAL ARRAYS (MIDAS)
Score Rationale
MIDAS is a hardware/RF engineering program (millimeter-wave digital arrays) with no mention of AI/ML techniques, autonomous systems, or learning-based components in the title or description; the core deliverable is phased-array sensor hardware, not an AI system. Problem framing is purely technical (digital array design) with no articulated operational context or end-user outcome. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation is a quintessential large defense prime integrator, making this a traditional defense procurement despite the modern-sounding acronym.
