Description
DYNAMIC AND REPROGRAMMABLE METASURFACE IMAGER (DRMI)
Score Rationale
The award describes a hardware/optical physics project (metasurface imager design) with no mention of AI/ML techniques, algorithms, or systems — this is materials science and electromagnetics, not machine learning. Problem framing is vague operational language ('imager' for sensing) without specific tactical or operational context. JHU APL is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), a large legacy DoD research institution, not an AI-native company or startup.
