Description
THE UWBGS PROGRAM WILL DEVELOP FOUNDATIONAL, HIGH-QUALITY ULTRA-WIDE BANDGAP (UWBG) MATERIALS AND ELECTRICAL CONTACTS NECESSARY FOR REALIZATION OF PRACTICAL ELECTRONICS THAT ENABLE UWBG APPLICATIONS.
Score Rationale
This award funds materials science and semiconductor engineering (ultra-wide bandgap electronics) with zero AI/ML relevance — no machine learning, autonomous systems, or algorithmic work is described. Problem framing is minimal: 'foundational materials' and 'electrical contacts' is domain-specific but lacks any operational context, end-user, or success metric tied to defense capability. Raytheon is a large prime contractor ($67B+ revenue), the canonical legacy defense integrator, scoring 0 on awardee quality.
