DESCRIPTION:Recent headlines exposing automotive electronic shortages that 
 impact production have highlighted escalating U.S. electronic supply chain
  issues and the reliance on foreign design and manufacturing for key compo
 nents. This dependency creates a vulnerability in the availability of adva
 nced and measurably secure electronics components for U.S. critical infras
 tructure needs. The growing concern has been closely monitored by various 
 public\, private\, non-profit organizations and think tanks\, and has resu
 lted in efforts to create innovative solutions to address this issue. In t
 his panel discussion\, the IEEE-USA will discuss the FY2021 National Defen
 se Appropriations Act’s directive to protect access to advanced microele
 ctronics that powers the 4th industrial revolution. Join us to gain insigh
 t from industry leaders into the solutions that will protect our access to
  measurably secure electronics needed to provide critical capabilities.\n\
