Statement of Work Support the Hardened Electronics and Radiation technology (HEART) Conference 11 March 2009 1.0 SCOPE 1.1 BACKGROUND The HEART conference is co-sponsored by the Department of Defense (DoD). The conference was established jointly by Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) in accordance with a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), dated 9 August 1999, to effectively disseminate classified and sensitive technology development in the areas of radiation vulnerability and hardening, while restricting the information flow to those with appropriate security clearances and a need-to-know. For over 20 years, the HEART Conference has been one of the world’s preeminent conferences concerned with the effects of both nuclear and space radiation effects on electronics and systems. The HEART Conference represents the major event for government organizations and their contractors to present the results of their classified research and development activities. Each year’s conference consists of a tutorial course, oral presentations, and posters sessions presented at the ITAR level with some presentations presented at the SECRET/RD level. The HEART Conference provides a venue for organizations to report on the results of their research activities in this area to serve as a measure to assess the efficacy of DTRA research. The topics generally included at the conference are x-ray simulators and testing, EMP and ionizing radiation hardening approaches for systems and components and other issues having to do with nuclear hardening and survivability. 1.2 OBJECTIVE The objective of this project is to support the HEART Conference which provides a professionally recognized forum for the presentation and publication of radiation effects research and to distribute research results, not available for general publication, to system developers for support of future military applications. 2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS 2.1.
