Trusted Foundry

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) supports activities to ensure critical and sensitive integrated circuits are available to meet the DoD’s needs. It refines strategies and management planning activities that will (1) provide support to acquisition programs to address trusted microelectronics supply needs; (2) improve capability to evaluate and validate trust of microelectronic parts and advance standards to incentive the commercial marketplace to recognize trust as a competitive design standard; and (3) develop and demonstrate alternative approaches to the current DoD Trusted Supplier accreditation process and criteria to assuring the trust of the microelectronics supply chain in order to enable broader DoD access to commercial state-of-the-art (SOTA) microelectronics technology. This activity will be coordinated by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, and will include performers from the DoD Components, the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA), the Joint Federated Assurance Center (JFAC), the Defense Advanced Research Programs Agency (DARPA), other DoD and Intelligence Community science and technology (S&T) organizations and laboratories, defense industry, and the broader commercial industrial base. It will integrate the functions of the DoD Trusted Foundry Program, the Trusted Supplier accreditation program, JFAC, and related S&T activities. This activity implements, maintains and updates the DoD’s long-term microelectronics strategy. Recognizing that trusted and assured supply of microelectronics is a Government-wide concern, this activity will interface with interagency partners to take into account interagency requirements, opportunities for collaboration, and strategic decisions that can be made to limit the overall cost of these requirements to the government. Funds in the amount of $7M are being reprogrammed in FY 2016; consequently, these funds are not reflected in the current President’s Budget. This add is for preparation activities supporting the initiation of Trusted Foundry activities in FY 2017; a $47.8 million add in FY 2017 supports the initiation of the Trusted Mask Trust Approach, Verification and Validation (V&V) Capabilities and Standards, and New Trust Approach project activities planned across the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP). Total PE funding from FY 2017 - FY 2021 is as follows: FY 2017 = $69.0M / FY 2018 = $91.3M / FY 2019 = $99.3M / FY 2020 = $97.6M / FY 2021 = $96.8M
