The Electronics Processing and Fabrication Subpanel seeks abstracts on key electronics issues and solutions directly related to current defense-essential manufacturing activities.  The combined effect of military budget constraints, rapid changes in electronics technology, and the need to deliver superior and affordable weapons to our warfighters continues to challenge the defense manufacturing community.  Compounding the technology challenge is the requirement to sustain many of our existing weapon systems well beyond their original lifetimes.  Papers are sought which address the challenges and offer innovative manufacturing technology solutions which will keep our warfighters second-to-none on any battlefield.  Topics of selected interest include: Power and Energy Sources, Lead Free Electronics, Infrared Imaging and Night Vision Systems, RF Module Technologies, Electro-Optics Technologies, Directed Energy Technologies, Flexible Displays, Electronics Packaging & Assembly, and Emerging & Disruptive Manufacturing Technologies.  Selection criteria will include relevance to warfighter needs.  Selected papers may be used to introduce and support interactive panel discussions or be recommended for poster presentations.
