Description
SOLID STATE HIGH POWER ELECTROMAGNETICS (HPEM) - AET TA6
Score Rationale
This award funds solid-state high power electromagnetics research—a physics/materials engineering problem with no mention of AI, ML, machine learning, neural networks, or data-driven decision systems anywhere in the title or description. Leidos is a large legacy prime contractor (>$13B revenue, defense incumbent), not an AI-native firm. Problem framing is vague (appears to be basic applied research in EM technology rather than a specific operational capability gap), suggesting this is traditional R&D procurement rather than AI-native defense modernization.
