Description
SHIP SUBMERSIBLE GUIDED MISSILE NUCLEAR (SSGN) ATTACK WEAPON SYSTEM (AWS) OPERATIONAL EVALUATION PROGRAM FY25
Score Rationale
No AI/ML techniques, systems, or deliverables are mentioned anywhere in the award description; this is clearly an operational evaluation program for existing nuclear submarine weapons systems, which is hardware/platform testing, not AI development. Problem framing is purely administrative ('operational evaluation program') with no articulated warfighting challenge or success metric. JHU APL is an FFRDC (federally funded research center), which by definition is legacy infrastructure, not an AI-native startup — this scores 0 on awardee quality despite technical competence.
