## What project EMR-02 buys

The Disruptive Microtechnologies Sciences project supports investigations into materials, devices, and architectures that will enable dramatic improvements versus the current state-of-the-art. This includes developing technology to enable fundamentally new ways of creating useful circuits to enable the next generation of microtechnologies. Areas of focus include photonic circuits that harness the power of light at the chip-scale, quantum circuits that take advantage of the unique properties that quantum offers versus classical computing and sensing, and organic circuits that integrate organic molecules into microtechnologies. Prior to FY 2026, efforts in this Project were funded in PE 0601101E, Project ES-02.

## Activities (R-2A) — 3

| Activity | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 | Move | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compartmentalization and Privilege Management (CPM) | — | 10.8 | 13.5 | +25% | [a0](https://hitchintel.com/programs/0601122E/EMR-02/a0) |
| Joint University Microelectronics Program 2.0 (JUMP 2.0) | — | 26.0 | — | −100% | — |
| Disruptive Microtechnologies Sciences Studies and Concepts | — | 5.9 | — | −100% | — |

> Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. In the request year they partition this project exactly; in earlier years they can under-cover it.

### Compartmentalization and Privilege Management (CPM)

- Produce final processor designs and performance models for enforcing code compartmentalization policies. - Develop enhanced attack campaign test cases for DoW-relevant applications. - Apply compartmentalization and privilege management tools and processor enforcement mechanism to an application nominated by a DoW partner.

### Joint University Microelectronics Program 2.0 (JUMP 2.0)

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The FY 2027 decrease reflects program completion.

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Demonstrate promising materials, devices, and integration and packaging technologies. - Integrate components to demonstrate sub functions of next-generation artificial intelligence, efficient communication, intelligent storage, novel sensing-to-action, and distributed computing architectures. - Perform research on next generation materials, devices, and integration and packaging technologies. - Integrate subfunctions to demonstrate next-generation artificial intelligence, efficient communication, intelligent storage, novel sensing-to-action, and distributed computing architectures.

### Disruptive Microtechnologies Sciences Studies and Concepts

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The FY 2027 decrease reflects the strategic prioritization of concepts and studies investments.

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Examine current and burgeoning technologies for creation of disruptive microtechnologies. - Investigate potential areas for leveraging commercial microsystems scaling for relevant defense applications.
