This year, the CR is being held at the Baltimore convention center. I don't believe that it is a lack of wanting to be a part of FIRST by the USNA, but that security concerns have caused them to pull back.
USNA last fielded Team 165 in 2007.
Construction at Halsey Field House conflicted with FIRST schedules, not security concerns.

Also,
ARL supports Team 1980 in Aberdeen MD home of the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, as well as 1748 in Baltimore and 53 in Greenbelt and 449 in Silver Spring.
There are other teams supported through the NDEP http://www.ndep.us/
