Strategies to Enable Assured Access to Semiconductors for the Department of Defense

Completed

Semiconductor chips power practically all electronic devices, from cellphones and vehicles to communications and weapons systems essential for national security. The Department of Defense (DoD) uses a wide range of semiconductors for mission systems such as radars, sensors, and high-power-density electronics—but the U.S. is now strongly dependent on other nations for both commercial and defense semiconductor needs. At the request of Congress and sponsored by DoD, our report explores ways to assure U.S. access to microelectronics, including opportunities for investing in leap-ahead technologies, strengthening interagency and industry relationships, and reshoring U.S. microelectronic production capabilities.
