The Microelectronics Commons: A National Network of Prototyping Innovation Hubs
The Microelectronics Commons is creating a direct pathway to reduce the country’s reliance on foreign microelectronics and safeguard the nation from supply chain risks.
The Microelectronics Commons program was established through the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S²MARTS) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) established by the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division and is managed by the National Security Technology Accelerator (NSTXL).
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Robert Sarkissian, a valued member of the microelectronics community whose contributions and professionalism left a lasting mark on the field. He will be remembered not only for his work, but for his kindness, generosity, and the respect he showed to colleagues and peers.
In honor of Robert’s legacy, those wishing to make a tribute may consider supporting causes that were important to him, including the U.S. Space and Rocket Center – Space Camp Tribute/Memorial Scholarship, the Boy Scouts of America, and St. Mary Armenian Apostolic Church in Livingston, NJ.
His legacy will continue to be felt across the community, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
