Description
ACTIVE ELECTRONICALLY SCANNED ARRAY (AESA) RADAR
Score Rationale
AESA radar is a hardware/RF engineering deliverable with no mention of AI, ML, autonomous systems, or algorithmic work—this is classical signal processing and antenna design. The problem is stated as a capability name rather than an operational need (no end-user scenario, contested environment context, or performance criteria). Raytheon is a legacy prime contractor ($65B+ revenue, defense-focused since Cold War), not an AI-native firm.
