The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to integrate advanced security features into Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) electronic components. The overall goal is to improve the maintenance and sustainment of electronics and make high-security technology for electronic components more accessible and affordable.

Specific goals include:

• Integration of advanced security features, including those that can enhance the secure boot framework and cyber mechanisms, into a preselected multi-chip module, and a single board computer.
• Packaging and testing of the above integrations to ensure they meet environmental and ruggedness standards

Interested Submissions Due by 8/20/25.
