Description
FMS ADVANCED RADARS STUDY (BAR50)
Score Rationale
Award title 'FMS Advanced Radars Study' contains zero explicit AI/ML language and framing suggests a feasibility or analysis contract rather than AI system development—typical of pre-development radar architecture work. Problem articulation is purely administrative (FMS = Foreign Military Sales pathway); no operational problem or end-user need is named. Johns Hopkins APL is a large federally funded research center (FFRDC), representing legacy institutional defense research rather than AI-native startup procurement.
