DMDC

DMDC, or the Defense Microelectronics Activity, is a United States Department of Defense (DoD) organization. It is located at McClellan Business Park near Sacramento, California. DMDC's primary mission is to provide microelectronics engineering, manufacturing, and testing capabilities to support the DoD's advanced technology needs.

The organization specializes in the design, fabrication, assembly, and testing of integrated circuits and other microelectronic components. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and security of microelectronics used in critical defense systems. DMDC works with various branches of the military and defense agencies to develop and produce specialized microelectronic solutions that meet stringent performance and environmental requirements.

DMDC's capabilities include custom integrated circuit design, radiation-hardened microelectronics, and advanced packaging technologies. They also focus on reverse engineering and supply chain assurance to protect against counterfeit components. The activity is committed to maintaining a sovereign U.S. capability in microelectronics, reducing reliance on foreign sources for essential defense components. Their work directly contributes to the technological advantage and national security of the United States.
