Abstract:

Lack of availability of Integrated Circuits ICs continues to have an adverse impact on the readiness of military systems, and is a significant cost-driver for DoD. The Defense Logistics Agency DLA has two successful IC manufacturing microcircuit emulation programs, which address these issues. The ability to accurately and cost effectively design emulated microcircuits, is a fundamental prerequisite to ensure the successful manufacturing of the Form, Fit, Function and Interface F3I ICs required by DLA to support military weapon systems. Manufacturing technology improvements to the emulation design capability to significantly reduce design cycle-time by as much as 50, significantly increase the ability to address more complex modern ICs by 17X, and provide the isolated design environment required to support a Trusted environment have been implemented into the emulation manufacturing flow. The benefits to the military supply chains are less pressure for life-time buys, reduction in lead-time for spare parts and a long-term source of supply for a larger number of NSNs.
