DARPA 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 will support high-risk, high-payoff research that addresses existing and emerging challenges in information and communication technologies. JUMP 2.0 builds off an earlier iteration of the SRC-led collaboration that was formed in 2018 to support university research centers focused on keeping the United States at the forefront of microelectronics innovation.
