___________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
Assign internal responsibilities and actions in three major<br />
areas in accordance with DOD’s goals<br />
1. Ensure continuous availability <strong>of</strong> microelectronic components<br />
to meet DOD needs:<br />
Designate a single DOD organization (e.g., DDR&E)<br />
with responsibility to maintain the focus on<br />
microelectronic capabilities available to the DOD.<br />
This lead organization will provide executive<br />
leadership, formally tasking other DOD/OSD<br />
elements to carry out specific activities. It will have<br />
several permanent, ongoing responsibilities:<br />
− Create an annual, moving estimate <strong>of</strong> DOD 5-<br />
and 10-year future microelectronics needs<br />
(including processes and design methods).<br />
Collect and organize known and projected<br />
technology requirements.<br />
− Enhance, shape, and direct DOD<br />
microelectronics S&T budgets and RDT&E<br />
programs to assure projected requirements will<br />
be met.<br />
− Track and analyze microelectronics industry<br />
capabilities, including trusted technology and<br />
production capabilities (DUSD(IP)).<br />
− Perform outreach and industry coordination on<br />
all these tasks via external advisory groups and<br />
industry associations.<br />
− Arrange trusted foundry capacity as needed at<br />
all tier levels and define their funding model.<br />
Also, issue directions and policies for their use.<br />
2. Ensure availability <strong>of</strong> trusted hardware as needed:<br />
USD(ATL) must issue acquisition policy 39 requiring<br />
hardware “trustworthiness” evaluations and<br />
solutions as key, contracted performance criteria for<br />
39. DOD 5000.2 and its Guidebook.<br />
