Securing the electronic components of the DOD is a complex challenge. In a global supply chain with thousands of distributed contractors creating high performance systems, it is critically important to ensure counterfeit components are not entering use. Chain of custody of electronic components from the time of manufacture to when the DOD takes delivery of the completed product can involve a multi ...

Geomagnetically induced current (GIC) hazard is a recognized threat to the United States power system. Federal models to support hazard specification and prediction for critical infrastructure are at an advanced state, including models of space weather, the Earth’s conductive structure, and regional geoelectric field. We propose to use existing NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (NOAA-SWPC) mo ...

The machine learning for counterfeit detection research program commences with a study evaluating the feasibility of applying machine learning to detect FPGA counterfeits. The underlying process will be broadly applicable throughout the supply chain. Using a proprietary non-destructive means of gathering data from FPGA devices, we will then make use of the data in a variety of machine learning alg ...
