FY10 Small Business
Prime Contracting
Every year DMEA reports
the extent of small
business prime
contracting to the
Department of Defense
Office of Small and
Disadvantaged Business
Utilization, within the
Office of the Secretary
of Defense. Our most
recent report covered
fiscal year 2010, and
for the eighth year in a
row it was very
encouraging for small
business. Small
businesses were awarded
36% of DMEA’s prime
contracts, which far
exceeded our established
goal.
DMEA is accrediting
authority for the
Trusted IC Supplier
Accreditation
Program.
The
Defense
MicroElectronics
Activity (DMEA) has
been designated by
the Department of
Defense through the
Trusted Access
Program Office
(TAPO) as the
accrediting
authority for this
program.

DMEA Transfers to DDR&E
The Honorable Ken Krieg USD (AT&L) has transferred the Defense Microelectronics
Activity to the Director, Defense Research and Engineering. This transfer acknowledges
the increased significance of microelectronics technology to the DoD which has led
to a broadened demand for DMEA’s unique technical and engineering capabilities
in microelectronics and emerging technologies. DMEA’s distinctive resources
are being utilized to meet DoD’s requirements across the entire spectrum of
technology development, acquisition, and long term support. In meeting those needs,
DMEA’s unique services are requested throughout the DoD, other Government
Agencies, Industry, and Allied nations.

knowing they are
being observed or
watch for intruders

to these questions
is unattended

DMEA DIRECTOR SPEAKS BEFORE
BRITISH INDUSTRY & GOVERNMENT GROUP
Mr. Ted Glum (DMEA Director) was the invited speaker at the distinguished Royal
United Services Institute (RUSI) for Defence and Security Studies at Whitehall in
London, UK.
Ground Breaking Integrated Circuit Evaluation Work (Reliability
Construction Analysis)
Provides a quantitative method of predicting the lifetime of COTS IC's when used
in other than commercial applications--especially when used in military applications.
Forecasting Failure: By Determining
Chip Quality at the Nanoscopic Level, DMEA may Avert Disaster.
Wouldn't it be great if a microchip could be analyzed for reliability without all
the messy, lengthy field testing? Maybe, thanks to research being done at DMEA,
it can.
Cool in a Box: COTS goes
rugged quickly with help from DMEA partnership.
How do you get a lot of heat out of a chip?
How can it be done efficiently and inexpensively?
The Department of Defense is asking these questions as it looks for ways to use
advanced Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technology in harsh military environments
without waiting for traditional re-engineering or risking failure of over-heated,
damaged computer-based systems.
