Counterfeit Electronics and the Defense Authorization Bill

IHS is speaking at the Counterfeit Electronics and the Defense Authorization Bill webinar on November 8th, 2011

On November 8th 2011, the US Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) held a hearing on counterfeit electronics in the Department of Defense supply chain. Testimony revealed that a congressional probe found at least 1,800 cases of counterfeit electronics in US weapons systems covering more than 1 million suspect parts. Approximately 70 percent were traced to Chinese firms. The veil has been lifted on counterfeit electronics. Learn how to protect your organization and your brand against the risks that counterfeits and inferior parts present.
