The award goes to: the United States Navy, for their Fusion Tender.
The technology refers to Inertial Electrostatic Confinement, a technique which Robert Bussard* used in experiments with the original wiffle ball. Bussard died in 2007, but you can see that his work continues, in part in The Emc2 Fusion Development Corporation. I presume that they will be bidders in the naval tender.
