Description
THE OVERARCHING OBJECTIVE OF MJOLNIR IS TO DEVELOP, TEST AND DEMONSTRATE A MATURE PROTOTYPE BASED ON THE FIRST GENERATION TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATOR, HIGH-POWER MICROWAVE (HPM) COUNTER UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEM (CUAS) PLATFORM.
Score Rationale
MJOLNIR is a high-power microwave (HPM) hardware platform for counter-UAS — a physics/RF engineering problem with no mention of AI/ML techniques, autonomous systems, or data-driven decision-making in the description. The problem is moderately clear (countering unmanned aerial threats) but lacks operational context or success metrics. Leidos is a large legacy defense prime ($14B+ revenue, established integrator), not an AI-native startup; the award pattern and scale ($37M) are characteristic of traditional defense contracting.
