Microelectronics Technology Development and Support (Defense Microelectronics Activity)
Abstract
Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) was established in 1966 by the Office of the Secretary of Defense to act as the joint DoD Center for microelectronics acquisition, transformation, and support. The DMEA mission is to develop, develop, and demonstrate microelectronics concepts, advanced technologies, and applications to provide a pathway to extend the life of weapon systems and to solve operations problems (e.g. reliability, maintainability, performance, and assured supply). DMEA’s capabilities make it a key tool in the intelligent and rapid development and application of advanced technologies to identified military needs. This includes implementation of advanced microelectronics research technologies providing for the development and long-term support structure necessary to ensure rapid design, fabrication, test, insertion, and support of microelectronics technologies. The DMEA provides an in-house capability to support these strategically important technologies within the DOD. DMEA has been singled out as a unique national resource by the warfighters, industry and foreign governments. Funds are required for investments and expenses for personnel, technical and analytical support, facilities, equipment, supplies, travel, publications.
