DoD needs to maintain U.S. technological
superiority in warfighting capability

DISTRIBUTION A. Approved for public release: distribution unlimited.

PROGRAM INFORMATION

• Program Name: Microelectronics Innovation for Next-generation System Advancement and Validation (MINSAV)
• Estimated Program Value: $800M
• Program Summary: The objective of the MINSAV effort is to acquire the design and fabrication of commercial and government developed sensor (signal) generation and processing technologies to enhance the US commercial microelectronics ecosystem and align commercial development with DoD needs to maintain US technological superiority in warfighting capability.

Experimentation under the MINSAV ARA will construct prototype systems that demonstrate microelectronics capabilities that yield technical offset for DoD related autonomous, artificial intelligence, position navigation and timing, electronic warfare, data processing, spatial / spectrally agile, and strategic applications.
