... for properly functioning weapons and other defense systems and components. This report of the National Research Council's Committee on Manufacturing Trends in Printed Circuit Technology aims to illuminate the issues related to PrCBs for military use.
From page 2...
... Defense requirements change continuously, and DoD needs to ensure access to sufficient innovation to continue to meet new defense needs for improved PrCBs. DoD has traditionally stimulated innovation to meet emerging requirements by directly funding research and development (R&D)
From page 3...
... DoD is capable of addressing all three of these areas, but it does not now do so in a systematic manner. The results of such reviews could help enable the federal government and the defense industrial base to work together to preserve and build critical systems whose underlying trusted PrCB component technologies ensure desired performance capabilities, with the ultimate goal of ensuring continuity of supply and adequate security.
From page 4...
... In conjunction with this effort, DoD should develop explicit mechanisms to integrate emerging commercial PrCB technologies into new defense systems, even if that means subsidizing the integration. These mechanisms should include more innovative design capabilities and improved accelerated testing methods to ensure PrCBs' lifetime quality, durability, and compliance with evolving environmental regulations for the conditions and configurations unique to DoD systems.
