WARFIGHTER FIRST

• All DLA Managed Items• Product Testing• Training• Supplier Qualification Programs• Product Quality Deficiency Reporting (PQDR)• Government Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP)• Investigation & Litigation

• Microcircuit Specific Programs• Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) Program• PROM/ROM Program• DNA Marking• Traceability

Protecting the Supply ChainA Multi-Pronged Approach

WARFIGHTER FIRST

• Mandatory on-line training launched in March 2012• Specific to DLA• Training addresses:

– Acquisition– Legal– Disposal– Testing & Product Verification

• 19K+ personnel trained annually

Counterfeit Awareness Training

Protecting the Supply Chain: Microcircuits

FSC 5962

WARFIGHTER FIRST

Microcircuit Qualification Programs

• Qualified Manufacturer List (QML) for FSC 5962• MIL-PRF-38535, Integrated Circuits (Microcircuits)

Manufacturing, General Specification for• MIL-PRF-38534, Hybrid Microcircuits, General Specification for

• Qualified Suppliers List of Distributors (QSLD)• Local tool to lower risk of buying non-conforming or suspect

counterfeit products for microcircuits/semiconductors• Focus is on full traceability to manufacturer and good quality

program • Qualified Testing Suppliers List (QTSL)

• Similar to QSLD but applies where no traceability exists• Focus on testing/inspection to increase confidence in

authenticity

WARFIGHTER FIRST

Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits

• Use current microcircuit manufacturing technology to emulate obsolete / non-procurable microcircuits • Reverse engineer by characterizing performance

input/outputs• Gov’t funded design system• Gov’t funded foundry• Fully form, fit, and functionally compliant

• Sell parts to DLA, military services, and industry • Over 1,000 part listing on QML (SRI International)

• Digital logic from 1960s, 70s, and 80s (CMOS, TTL, ECL)• Memory devices (SRAMs and ROMs up to 128K)• Over 125,000 units with no reported failures

• Currently developing linear/analog emulation

30 Yearsof Success!

WARFIGHTER FIRST

PROM/ROM Programing Conversions

• DLA buys “blank” Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM)• DLA-PTC programs blanks to new NSN (ROMs)• 283 PROMs convert to over 15,000 ROMs• Over 5,300 conversions since 2011

• Average cycle time 2.3 days• DLA validates/controls programs used for conversion

• All conversions performed within DLA• Prevents introduction of malware

WARFIGHTER FIRST

Traceability of Microcircuits

• Chain of custody documentation to manufacturer (e.g. traceability) required for all microcircuits (FSC 5962)

• In addition--Certificate of Conformance required for military grade microcircuits

• When no trace is available testing documentation from supplier is required

• Refusal to provide trace or testing documentation is basis for rejection of contract award

DNA Marking of Microcircuits

FSC 5962

WARFIGHTER FIRST

Background

• World wide counterfeiting threat• 60 Minutes piece on counterfeiting efforts in China• GAO report• Dept. of Commerce Report• SASC inquiries

• DLA implements DNA marking program in 2012 for FSC 5962• Microcircuits were determined to be our highest risk FSC• Phase 1: Emulated microcircuits in Aug 2012• Phase 2: All 5962 microcircuits in Dec 2012• Marking performed by contractors

• Gov’t paid for contractor’s licensing agreement • Major change to program in Jan 2015

• Contractor licensing agreements were too costly• Marking process moved internally to DLA-PTC

WARFIGHTER FIRST

Procurement of Microcircuits

• Pre-award• Must be from an approved source

• Includes distributors• Traceability documentation required (no exceptions)• All buys must go through DNA marking (no exceptions)

• Post-award• Traceability documentation required

• Authorize shipment to DLA-PTC after verification• Resolves any contractual issues

• Includes results found at DLA-PTC

WARFIGHTER FIRST

DNA Marking Process at DLA-PTC

• Inspect to packaging requirements• Match parts to traceability documentation

• Includes documentation submitted pre and post award• 100% visual inspection to SAE AS6081• Test lead finish using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry • Electrical/environmental testing as requested• DNA mark applied to each device

• Plant based DNA from Applied DNA Science, Inc.• Cannot be replicated

• DNA strand changed quarterly• Over 3,000 contracts since Jan 2015

• Over 200,000 individual devices• Average cycle time is 3 days

WARFIGHTER FIRST

Benefits of DNA Marking

• Field complaints nearly non-existent

• Packaging complaints reduced 3 years in a row

• Stronger vendor relationship

• Improved supplier base• Strengthened confidence

in DLA stock• Elevated quality within the

supply chain

WARFIGHTER FIRST

Conclusion

• DLA has a comprehensive program to prevent counterfeits from entering the supply chain• Policy and procedures in place• Multiple tools in the toolbox

• Microcircuits are the highest risk FSC• Multiple programs in place to mitigate risk

• DNA Marking Program is the most extensive program• 100% of all FSC 5962 microcircuits are included• Other FSC’s under consideration

• DLA will continue to monitor the counterfeit threat• Modify/add new programs as needed
