What project 912 buys
This project promotes microelectronics innovation and creates an evidence-based assured microelectronics pipeline and strategic partnerships for assuring field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices, supply chain awareness and security, and workforce development. It will strengthen workforce expertise and ensure DoW has access to the next generation of advanced technology by utilizing an evidence-based assurance approach. This approach enables management of microelectronics security that is commensurate with program risk throughout the product pipeline and maintain the United States as the global source for high-end, secure, and reliable microelectronics components. In addition, this project will develop new data driven risk-based assurance methodologies for supply chain protection to strengthen security while improving access, without exposing sensitive intellectual property (IP) to the foundry and requiring post-manufacture validation of foundry products. The project will develop evidence-based assured design concepts in manufactured systems, enabling a formal risk-based approach to protection techniques.

Project 912 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.

|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 140.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 139.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 25.6 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 29.2 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 30.9 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 32.2 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 32.2 |

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
Conduct vulnerability analyses of intellectual property, conduct hardware assessments, integrated circuit verification and validation analyses. Conduct microelectronics situational awareness activities. Develop toolkits and establish transitions for developed toolkits for supply chain vulnerability awareness and bitstream analysis.
