Description
HUMAN ELECTRO MUSCULAR INCAPACITATION
Score Rationale
This award funds research into electro-muscular incapacitation devices (likely non-lethal weapons like tasers), with zero mention of AI, ML, algorithms, or autonomous systems in the description. Problem framing is minimal—'human electro muscular incapacitation' states a mechanism, not an operational problem or end-user need. APL is a federally funded research center (FFRDC) operated by Johns Hopkins, a legacy defense research institution, not an AI-native company.
