Description
MARITIME SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Score Rationale
The award description contains zero explicit mention of AI/ML techniques, algorithms, or ML-native deliverables — 'maritime surveillance systems improvement' is generic modernization language typical of legacy IT contracts. Problem framing is purely administrative (no operational context, end-user need, or success metric articulated). JHU APL is a federally funded research center (FFRDC), which scores 0 on awardee quality — large research institutions anchored to legacy defense procurement, not AI-native startups or modern tech firms.
