Sandia's work in micro and nanosystems/microelectronics is critical for DOE and other national security missions. Collocated REtD and production Is foundational to current and future capabilities as are partnerships, requiring continuous engagement in the following areas: Advanced REtD that deepens our scientific understanding of technologies to meet national needs and address emerging threats; External partnerships that strengthen the US semiconductor science and industrial base and leverage US and global supply chains; and Trusted and low-volume production for NNSA and synergistic national security missions that can't, won't, or shouldn't be supplied by industry. Microsystems are the primary enabler for agile, responsive weapon development and advanced functionality in the non-nuclear domain, and Sandia's MESA Complex is the only remaining US foundry with the proven ability to deliver the custom trusted and strategically radiation-hardened (TSRH) microelectronic components required to sustain the nation's nuclear deterrent. Four key strategies will advance MESA's technological leadership against future mission challenges.

The Integrated Military Systems (IMS) Center at Sandia National Laboratories is a technical systems integrator of high-risk, high-impact systems. It provides cutting-edge technologies, subsystems, solutions, and products that provide a competitive advantage at every point of engagement. Building on more than six decades of experience, IMS seeks to pursue and provide solutions to the most challenging national security issues. We leverage technical capabilities from the Laboratories' core mission and innovatively apply technology to defense problems. IMS' diverse capabilities produce revolutionary technologies in the areas such as precision strike and defense, autonomy, NG&C, directed energy, signal processing/ATR, lethality and threat assessment, and systems engineering. Our talented engineers and staff take a problem from initial design all the way through testing and fielding.

A4H is developing autonomous hypersonic flight vehicles that can intelligently navigate, guide, and control themselves and home-in on targets. Autonomous systems are characterized by the use of closed-loop SENSE-THINK-ACT operations to achieve their desired goals. Closing the SENSE-THINK-ACT loop onboard these systems will provide an improved ability to engage diverse targets in contested environments.
