Untangling the Supply Chain, Episode 6: If Taiwan Goes, Does Commercial Space Go With It?

The bombs falling in Ukraine have raised major geopolitical issues in Asia. One in particular will seriously impact the future of the commercial space industry. Taiwan’s significance to the world’s supply chain, high-value technology base, microprocessors and the civil life and laws upon which democracy depends are not always considered when we casually ask, “If Taiwan Goes, What Else Goes With It?”

Could the industry be a casualty of a Chinese invasion? In this podcast, hosted by  Space & Satellite Professionals International (SSPI), based on the May 2022 edition of the New York Space Business Roundtable, guests discuss what is really at stake.

ANSI to Hold July 27–29 Workshop on Global Supply Chain Security for Microelectronics Standardization

Save the Date: ANSI to Hold July 27–29 Workshop on Global Supply Chain Security for Microelectronics Standardization

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has announced plans to convene on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) a workshop on global supply chain security for microelectronics standardization. The workshop will be held July 27–29 at the headquarters of Booz Allen Hamilton, 8283 Greensboro Dr., McLean, VA. While in-person participation is strongly encouraged, remote participation will be offered. The workshop agenda and registration information will be announced in due course.

The workshop will assist DoD in gathering and assessing information regarding relevant standardization activities to fulfill its mandate under Section 224 of the FY20 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requiring that DoD microelectronics products and services meet trusted supply chain and operational security standards.

Stakeholders identified for targeted outreach include DoD, the Departments of Homeland Security, State, and Commerce—especially the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST)—along with suppliers of microelectronics products and services, representatives of major industry sectors that rely on a trusted supply chain and the operational security of microelectronics products and services, and the insurance industry. Ultimately, DoD seeks to foster an ecosystem where trusted supply chain and operational security standards for procuring microelectronics products and services are widely adopted by U.S. government agencies, allies, partners, and commercial industry.

American Council for Technology and Industry Advisory Council (ACT-ICT) Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) Acquisition Working Group (AWG)

A Federal acquisition and Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) Shark Tank hybrid event will take place on June 9, 2022, from 9 AM to 12 PM ET in-person at the General Services Administration’s headquarters (1800 F Street NW) and virtually. This event is sponsored by ACT-IAC and hosted by ACT-IAC’s Acquisition Community of Interest’s (COI’s) C-SCRM  Acquisition Working Group (AWG).

This year’s ACT-IAC Shark Tank competition provides a unique opportunity for government, industry, and academia to pitch innovative solutions for the following supply chain problem statement:

What are the foundational tenants in the creation of a Predictive Supply Chain Risk Management process and how can cybersecurity and technology approaches support the ability to project when vulnerabilities may occur prior to an event in lieu of reaction to an event?

Podcast: Untangling the Supply Chain, Episode 3: Satellite Solutions for Supply Chain Woes

Communication and earth observation satellites play an essential but too-little-known role in managing the world’s supply chains. The solutions call on spacecraft in every orbit, carrying every payload and operating in every commercial frequency band. They also call on the ingenuity and determination of experts in engineering, manufacturing, operations and analytics to provide the crucial data and communications that help their customers keep the world supplied.

In this podcast, based on the May 12 Webinar: Satellite Solutions for Supply Chain Woes, Space & Satellite Professionals International (SSPI) Robert Bell is joined by Matt Desch, CEO, Iridium Communications, Inc.; Nicole Robinson, President, Ursa Space Systems; and Jean-Michel Rouylou, Head of Enterprise and Broadband, ST Engineering iDirect to discuss satellite’s vital role in world trade and the global opportunities the industry’s unique technologies are able to tap.
