Description
IGF::OT::IGF COMPACT SEMICONDUCTOR MID- AND LONG-WAVE OPTO-ELECTRONICS RESEARCH (COSMO)
Score Rationale
This is a materials science and semiconductor optoelectronics R&D contract with no mention of AI/ML techniques, algorithms, or autonomous systems—the deliverable is compact opto-electronic hardware, not an AI system. Problem framing is purely technical (mid/long-wave optoelectronics research) with no articulated operational end-use or warfighter need. Leidos is a large legacy defense prime ($15B+ revenue), not an AI-native firm, making this a traditional hardware R&D award irrelevant to AI-native defense procurement.
