BOSTON - The Northeast Microelectronics Coalition (NEMC) Hub congratulates BAE Systems Inc., a founding member of the NEMC and a leader on the Hub’s Advisory Group, for Monday’s announcement by the U.S. Department of Commerce of a preliminary award of $35 million in federal CHIPS and Science Act funding to enhance microelectronics production at BAE’s cutting-edge facility in Nashua, NH. The funding will support a proposed project that could quadruple the production of chips necessary for critical defense programs, including the F-35 fighter jet program.
