Description
THREAT CHARACTERIZATION ENGINEERING
Score Rationale
No AI/ML techniques or deliverables are mentioned in the description; 'threat characterization engineering' is generic systems/engineering language with no algorithmic or machine learning specificity. The awardee is Johns Hopkins APL, a federally funded research center (FFRDC) — the definition of legacy defense establishment, not an AI-native startup. Problem framing is vague ('threat characterization') with no operational context, end-user mission, or success criteria articulated.
