Description
THE TECHNOLOGIES FOR HEAT REMOVAL IN ELECTRONICS AT THE DEVICE SCALE (THREADS) PROGRAM WILL DEVELOP TECHNOLOGIES TO OVERCOME TRANSISTOR THERMAL LIMITATIONS.
Score Rationale
This award funds thermal management for transistors—a materials science and device engineering problem with zero explicit AI/ML content. The problem framing is generic (heat removal) without connection to any specific operational capability or warfighter need. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation is a signature large prime integrator name, the opposite of an AI-native startup.
