Description
MFB17 FEDERAL ECM PROGRAM
Score Rationale
This is a legacy defense contract with no AI/ML substance. 'Federal ECM Program' (Electronic Countermeasures) describes traditional RF/EW engineering work, not machine learning or autonomous systems—no AI techniques are named or implied in the description. Problem framing is purely administrative (program name only, no operational context). APL is an FFRDC (federally funded research center), the canonical legacy defense institution, disqualifying it as AI-native despite technical competence.
