The security and integrity of the U.S. Department of Defense’s electronic systems are challenged by the presence of counterfeit integrated circuits.

Northrop Grumman is leading a team to develop tiny RFID chips to enable traceability. Learn how the program has a significant ROI, as well as profound security implications.
