Description
SURTASS PRODUCTION SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (T-AG0S25)
Score Rationale
This is a systems engineering contract for SURTASS (Surveillance Towed Array Sonar System) production—a legacy sonar platform dating to the 1980s. No AI/ML techniques are named or implied; the work is platform maintenance and production engineering. APL is an FFRDC (federally funded research center), not an AI-native company, and the contract language is purely administrative procurement terminology with no articulated operational problem beyond 'production systems engineering.'
