Description
THE HOMELAND DEFENSE RADAR, HAWAII WILL BE A SINGLE FACED RADAR WITH A PRIMARY MISSION TO PROVIDE AUTONOMOUS ACQUISITION AND PERSISTENT PRECISION TRACKING AND DISCRIMINATION TO OPTIMIZE THE DEFENSIVE CAPABILITY OF THE BMDS AND COUNTER EVOLVING THREATS.
Score Rationale
While 'autonomous acquisition' and 'discrimination' suggest algorithmic decision-making, the core deliverable is a radar system—hardware-centric with embedded autonomy as a feature, not the primary innovation. Problem is operationally clear (BMDS defense against evolving threats) but framed in platform language rather than specific ML technical gaps. Lockheed Martin is a legacy prime contractor, disqualifying any modern AI-native signal; at $374M this is classic large-scale defense infrastructure procurement.
