Description
SHIP COUNTERMEASURE WARFARE INTEGRATED DEMONSTRATION (SCWID) EFFORT IS BEING UNDERTAKEN TO DEMONSTRATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CURRENT GEORGIA TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE (GTRI) SCWID ELECTRONIC ATTACK (EA) TECHNIQUES WHEN INTERFACED TO A PLATFORM-SPECIFIC ANTENNA ASSEMBLY, WHILE OPERATING IN A MARITIME ENVIRONMENT
Score Rationale
Award funds electronic attack (EA) techniques and antenna integration in maritime settings — classic RF/EW domain with no mention of AI/ML methods, autonomous decision-making, or learning systems; the work is primarily systems integration and field demonstration of existing techniques. Problem is identifiable (maritime countermeasure effectiveness) but narrowly framed around platform integration rather than a novel capability gap. Georgia Tech Applied Research Corp is an FFRDC-adjacent entity (GTRI is Georgia Tech's research institute), signaling legacy defense research structure rather than AI-native startup capability.
