Description
400-HZ EMI ADAPTIVE CANCELLER
Score Rationale
The deliverable is an electromagnetic interference (EMI) canceller operating at 400 Hz — a signal processing tool addressing a hardware/physics problem, not an AI/ML system. While 'adaptive' suggests algorithmic filtering, there is no mention of machine learning techniques, autonomy, or learning-based approaches; this is classical adaptive signal processing. Johns Hopkins APL is a federally funded research center (FFRDC), which places it in the legacy institutional category despite technical competence. The problem is narrowly defined (EMI cancellation) but lacks operational context or end-user mission articulation.
