Description
TO INVESTIGATE AND ADVANCE COMPACT, PULSED-POWER TECHNOLOGIES SUITABLE FOR DRIVING HIGH-POWER ELECTROMAGNETIC (HPEM) SOURCES.
Score Rationale
This award funds physics-based pulsed-power and high-power electromagnetic source research — no AI/ML techniques, models, or autonomous systems are mentioned or implied in the deliverable scope. Problem framing is generic (advance compact pulsed-power tech) without operational context, end-user, or success criteria tied to warfighter needs. Leidos is a large legacy defense prime ($13B+ revenue), not an AI-native company; the contract type and scale are consistent with traditional hardware/materials R&D contracting, not modern AI procurement.
