What the grant funds

Semiconductors are critical components in a most of today’s electronic devices. Semiconductors are also a critical input for the development of military technologies, WMD and WMD delivery system related technologies, and technologies with potential dual-uses – such as artificial intelligence. Malign actors continue to undermine global business and research norms to increase access to semiconductor technology to gain undue economic and military advantages. Malign actors exploit gaps in the application of due diligence practices, physical security, and cybersecurity to acquire semiconductors and related manufacturing technology, as well as enhance their abilities to indigenously develop semiconductors. A significant number of international government, public and private research organizations, companies, and manufacturing organizations are unaware of dual-use applications of semiconductors and remain vulnerable to theft and loss of semiconductors, related research, data, IP, knowledge and talent that can be leveraged for military end uses.
