The Export-Import Bank of the United States has launched the Supply Chain Resiliency Initiative (SCRI) to reduce reliance on China for critical minerals and rare earth elements essential to energy storage, semiconductors, and manufacturing. By financing international projects with U.S. off-take agreements, SCRI strengthens supply chains, protects U.S. jobs, and enhances economic security. This initiative aligns with bipartisan efforts to secure critical mineral access and ensure a competitive, resilient U.S. industrial base. #CriticalMinerals #SupplyChain #Manufacturing #Semiconductors #EconomicSecurity #RareEarthElements #EXIM #EmergingTech #DefenseTech #DefenseInnovation #CriticalTech

Researchers at Purdue Applied Research Institute LLC (PARI) are advancing #3Dprinting for hypersonic vehicle components using dark ceramics, known for their extreme heat resistance. Traditional 3D printing methods struggle with these materials due to their UV light absorption. However, the team at Purdue’s Hypersonics Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (HAMTC) is overcoming these challenges with digital light processing (DLP), enabling precise, intricate designs. This breakthrough could significantly enhance hypersonic manufacturing and defense capabilities. #Hypersonics #AdvancedManufacturing #3DPrinting #Ceramics #AerospaceEngineering #MaterialsScience #EmergingTech #DefenseTech #DefenseInnovation #CriticalTech

Navy Secretary nominee John Phelan signals strong support for the service’s sixth-generation F/A-XX fighter, emphasizing extended range, payload, and interoperability with United States Air Force and United States Marine Corps assets. While funding uncertainties remain, the Navy is also collaborating on unmanned Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) and a joint air battle management study. As China’s long-range threats evolve, the Navy faces pressure to modernize airborne command and control, with the E-2 Hawkeye’s future replacement yet to be defined. #NavalAviation #DefenseTech #AirDominance #UnmannedSystems #CCA #NationalSecurity #Pentagon #USNavy #EmergingTech #DefenseInnovation #CriticalTech

#semiconductor design has been one place the United Stated has led the world. Are we taking that for granted? #microelectronics #emergingtech
Silicon Crossroads Microelectronics Commons Hub CTO - SVP of Microelectronics and Advanced Technology Strategy (ARI)
The United States Cannot Take Semiconductor Design Leadership for Granted Yesterday, I attended a compelling panel discussion at the Center for Strategic and International Studies on the critical importance of global leadership in chip design for economic and national security. This issue has long been a key concern of mine, and a primary motivator for the RAMP and RAMP-C programs I initiated at the DoD. #microelectronics #Chipdesign Brooke Pyne Andrew Kossack Todd Young Eric Breckenfeld Falan Yinug Grant Gardner Maryam Cope SUJAI SHIVAKUMAR, Ph.D.
