-Barry Birdsong/MDA, We're dealing with a growing problem. We use over 650 suppliers who in turn rely on hundreds more. The Government moves extremely slow. Estimates are that there are 1700-3000 INDY suppliers in the IC market. MDA uses the Navy's CRANE facility to help evaluate new technologies. Believe a number of techniques must be considered so as not to put "all our eggs" into one basket, noting the dangers of any one which potentially could be compromised. Need "cheap, fast, on-site and simple" will not “mandate” and believe market competition is a good thing. We have been working on various methods to address the problem and will be issuing Phase II awards in May.
-Celia Merzbacher/SRA Risk Factors are up! Innovative Partnerships are needed more than ever...
-UCONN Numerous WIP, ie. PUFs, BISA, MICROSCOPY, XRAY, SHIELD/DARPA, and many other developing (future) technologies.
-DHS Everything is connected. Countermeasures not keeping pace with Counterfeits, Tainted (intentional or otherwise), and Defective parts.
-Steve Walters/Honeywell/SAE G19A More Lab tests have been used but more personnel training is needed.
Bill Eklow & Edna Conway/CISCO Has been at the forefront (having been burned before) at every node of the supply chain. Edna BTW is a super supply chain expert with advance degrees from… Colunbia, MIT, Stanford and Carnegie Mellon!
David Brown/Intel More “credible” traceability is needed". 60% of counterfeits are obsolete parts. Suggested that “Fitness for Use” be considered in the test evaluations.
Kristal Snyder/ERAI Critic of industry for not pulling together. Particularly critical of Lee Mathiesen/Lansdale for his comments stating “If you don’t want counterfeits the answer is simple, buy from authorized sources.
Doug Fosnaught/DLA The “Rapid Innovation” program has been evaluating numerous techniques. DNA was selected a couple of years ago as the best solution but its development and alternatives are part of our ongoing efforts.
Again, sorry for the delay and brevity but it’s all I can provide just now…
