Description
USPL TO2 TO ADVANCE AIR FORCE HIGH POWER MICROWAVE CAPABILITIES USING POTENTIALLY GAME-CHANGING APPROACHES TO HPEM GENERATION SUCH AS ULTRA-SHORT PULSED LASER BASED SOURCES.
Score Rationale
No AI/ML techniques or systems are mentioned in the award description; the work is focused on high power microwave and laser-based physics/engineering (HPEM generation), which is materials science and EW hardware, not machine learning. Problem framing is modest—'advance Air Force high power microwave capabilities' names a domain but not a specific operational problem or success metric. Leidos is a large legacy defense prime ($14B+ revenue, traditional systems integrator), not an AI-native company.
