Lead-Free Defense Electronics Project
This project will foster research and actions to accelerate the transition to lead-free electronics in aerospace, defense, and other high-performance electronics.
Lead-free electronics – materials and processes with profound consequences
Materials applied at the microscopic level on commonly used subcomponents critical to the functions of sophisticated defense systems in diverse, challenging environments throughout – and beyond – the planet.
The DEC lead-free team has the deep industry knowledge, innovative research capabilities, and leading-edge facilities required to successfully migrate to lead-free defense electronics.
