Case Studies
The GEM program supports over 560 weapon systems. Here are some of our example case studies.
C - 17
| Application | Landing Gear |
| Device | SCD – EP1810 Erasable Programmable Logic Devices |
| Customer | Crane Hydro Air, a subcontractor for Boeing Delivered a specific programmation, unique to C-17 application |
| Contract Vehicle/Funding | Design/Prototypes - Demo device funded by DLA |
| Benefit to Program | Eliminate system redesign due to one part obsolescence Provided long-term production support |
Bradley, F/A-18, F-15, F-22, C-17
| Application | Multiple- Bradley turret positioner, F-22 ejection seat, etc... |
| Device | SMD - 5962-9052201PA |
| Customer | US Army, Lau Defense Systems/Vista Controls, Northrop, Teledyne Controls |
| Contract Vehicle/Funding | Design/Prototypes - Demo device funded by DLA |
| Benefit to Program | Averted Bradley production and repair line shutdown |
B-2
| Application | Develop wafer fabrication processes and arrays to provide GEM solutions for rad hard requirements |
| Customer | United States Air Force |
| Contract Vehicle/Funding | Cost share DLA/B-2 Program MILSVC |
| Test Results | For the dose rate test, no upset, latch-up or burnout was observed through the highest levels tested
For total dose all samples were through 1Mrad (Si) |
| Benefit to Program | U.S. Trusted source of microcircuits meeting rad-hard requirements for B-2 |
F-15
| Application | Airborne computer |
| Device | Custom MIL-STD-1750 type microprocessor |
| Customer |
Air Force, Boeing, BAE Joint development with Boeing Implemented 3 custom chips with one AME ASIC |
| Contract Vehicle/Funding |
Design/Prototypes – Cost share DLA/F-15 Program Production – Direct contract to SRI |
| Benefit to Program | Eliminate hardware and software redesign |
