Description
ZUMWALT CLASS DESTROYER PROGRAM
Score Rationale
No AI/ML techniques, deliverables, or even language appear in the award description—'Zumwalt Class Destroyer Program' is a legacy naval platform modernization contract with no stated AI component. Problem framing is purely administrative (program name only, no operational articulation). JHU APL is a federally funded research center (FFRDC), the clearest signal of non-AI-native institutional procurement; this award appears to be routine platform sustainment, not AI-native defense innovation.
