The ChallengeThe Challenge

Increased DoD use / reliance on microelectronics (“Smart” weapon systems) Essential technology for all military missions

Strategic, tactical, C4I, special ops “Critical” DoD technology

Enabling technology for transformational opportunities

Extended system life cycles (20 – 40 years) Increased reliability and maintainability issues Rapidly evolving, expanding missions - new capability requirements Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS)

Decreased technology stability Dynamic development drives obsolescence cycles of 18 months or less Over 95% of all DoD DMS cases are electronics

DMEA’s Total Solution ApproachDMEA’s Total Solution Approach

Key: Understand ALL the military requirements Verify System Problems

Reliability and maintainability of system/boards Adequacy of spares Testability and repair issues Existing and projected obsolescence

Develop Solution Options Component

Aftermarket Substitution Emulation Custom

Board / Box / System Technology Compression

TOC savings over chip for chip Increased capability (transformation)

Opportunity for open architecture

Government / Semiconductor Industry partnership New flexible foundry technology New business model

Government-held process licenses No commercial conflicts Prototype / low volume production by DMEA High volume production by industry

Terminal transfer to DMEA upon OEM business decision Transfers industry-developed (commercial) IP & technology COTS as a solution, not a problem Ensures continued DoD supply as industry flexes with market

DMEA B2 SupportDMEA B2 Support

B-2 Defensive Management System (DMS) unsupportable DMSMS plus lack of repair procedures, lack of

tech data, spares, etc

Prime Contractor wanted $54M to redesign system

DMEA Proposed $22M to make supportable for next 10 years

DMEA performing System-level DMS Supportability Improvement Program System level assessment IC / board / box solution strategies Reverse engineering Solution design, prototype, and test

Cost avoidance = $32 Million
