... Since then, advances in device speed, increased processing power and throughput, lower electrical power consumption, vast increases in device volume production, and ingenious, complex designs have enabled numerous new applications and enormous improvements. This rate of technological advance is expected to continue and perhaps accelerate as new substrate materials are introduced.6 Because electronic components in many national security systems are designed and intended to last for long periods in sometimes in harsh environments, testing to assure that the parts will indeed function properly and reliably, under all conceivable operational conditions, and function only as designed, becomes 1 National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (P.L.

... One of the issues that was raised repeatedly during presentations was the prohibitive cost associated with dedicated state-of-the-art foundries producing secure and reliable microelectronic components for national security systems. A few participants noted that a main reason associated with the high cost of producing these items is the relatively low volume of items required by DoD and the Intelligence Community in comparison with the commercial marketplace.
