Description
THE OBJECTIVE OF TASK ORDER W31P4Q-19-F-0188: AIR FORCE SECURITY ASSISTANCE TRAINING (AFSAT) REQUIRES THAT GTRI DEVELOP A 4-5 YEAR ROYAL SAUDI AIR FORCE (RSAF) IN-KINGDOM REPROGRAMMING (IKR) ELECTRONIC WARFARE (EW) TRAINING PROGRAM (32 COURSES TOTAL). THE CLASSES WILL BE TAUGHT AT THE UNCLASSIFIED LEVEL AND SHOULD INCORPORATE THE COURSE WORK DESCRIBED IN THE FOUR TRAINING PHASES: BASIC, FOCUSED, SPECIFIC AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT)/INFORMATION ASSURANCE (IA) SECTIONS OF THE RSAF IKR KNOWLEDGE ROADMAP.
Score Rationale
No AI/ML techniques, algorithms, or systems are mentioned anywhere in the award description; this is purely a training curriculum development contract for electronic warfare and IT/IA instruction. Problem framing is vague—'develop a training program' lacks specificity about operational gaps or learning outcomes. GTRI is a research arm of Georgia Tech (a large institution acting as a prime), not an AI-native startup, despite being a university entity rather than a traditional defense contractor.
