Advanced Technology Support Program (ATSP)

Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA)

Semiconductor and Electronics Industry Partnerships

DMEA has developed strategic partnerships with:

• Private Industry

• Federal Agencies

• Military

• State and Local Governments

• Academia

• International Groups, including private industry and government

To support microelectronics in Department of Defense weapons systems, it may be necessary to have access to the original contractor who built and may still support DOD weapons systems.

A working relationship with key commercial defense contractors is essential.

Advanced Technology Support Program
The $4.7B Advanced Technology Support Program is a fast, efficient contracting vehicle that gives government organizations streamlined access to state-of-the-art technologies and engineering through outstanding industry resources. ATSP gives program mangers rapid access (4-10) weeks to pre-qualified contractors. More

Cooperative Research and Development Agreements
CRADAs were developed by Congress specifically to promote the timely transfer of technology from government laboratories, such as DMEA, to the private sector. A powerful and flexible vehicle, CRADA allows partners access to many of DMEA’s extensive microelectronics capabilities, including its highly skilled technology workforce and laboratory. More

Semiconductor and Electronics Industry Partnerships
DMEA works closely with the US semiconductor and electronics manufacturing industries. DMEA is a member of the Semiconductor Industry Association. Through its work in this association, DMEA collaborates with key industries that influence military semiconductor development and production.

DMEA works closely with the Government Electronics and Information Technology Association (GEIA; see www.geia.org) and participates in its technical and management forums. More than 2300 companies representing more than 80 percent of the U.S. electronics industry are members of GEIA.
