Description
NEXT GENERATION SURFACE SEARCH RADAR
Score Rationale
The award description contains no explicit mention of AI/ML techniques, algorithms, or ML-driven capabilities — 'next generation surface search radar' signals a hardware/sensor modernization effort, not an AI system. Problem framing is minimal and administrative ('next generation' without articulating operational gaps or end-user constraints). JHU APL is a federally funded research center (FFRDC), a legacy institutional entity, not an AI-native startup or modern tech firm.
