Address DoD Unique Needs Especially Radiation Hardening - Demonstration

Abstract

This project addresses the dual problems of commanding only a small market share while requiring an expansive range of unique microelectronics needs, from boutique and legacy components to state-of-the-art (SOTA) technologies. The Government must sustain specialty suppliers, given their criticality to national security. In particular, DoD needs access to a diverse microelectronics ecosystem to develop and acquire the application specific integrated circuit (ASICs) and personalized commercial off the shelf (COTS) components required for military radiation hardened and radio frequency and optical needs. The Department frequently relies on commercial suppliers to optimize performance and reduce costs for sophisticated weapon system and secure network functionality. It is critical that DoD has future access to subject matter expertise, technology, and manufacturing.
