DARPAÂ December 22, 2021
DARPA today announced its participation in a new long-term university research collaboration with the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) and a consortium of companies in the commercial semiconductor industry and the defense industrial base called the Joint University Microelectronics Program 2.0 (JUMP 2.0). The program aims to establish seven collaborative, multidisciplinary, multi-university research centers focused on supporting exploratory research with an eight- to twelve-year time horizon for transition to defense and commercial opportunities. To focus the research, each center will define an overarching challenge and a set of specific technical goals by which the center will be evaluated. The seven center research themes found in the SRC solicitation include: Cognition; Communications and Connectivity; Intelligent Sensing to Action; Systems and Architectures for Distributed Compute; Intelligent Memory and Storage; Advanced Monolithic and Heterogenous Integration; High-Performance Energy Efficient Devices…read more.
