Divisions
Each division maintains a technical authority, a safety council, and an integration office that stitches
portfolios into enterprise roadmaps. Cross-division interfaces are versioned and baselined quarterly.
DIR-TECH / Version 2026.1
Technology Directorate
Compute
Edge
Sensors
Owns the federal blueprint for secure software factories, hardware assurance labs, and AI/ML governance
where models touch operational decision support. Emphasis on reproducible builds, signed artifacts, and
field telemetry feedback loops that respect privacy and classification boundaries.
DIR-NANO / Version 2026.1
Nanotechnology & precision fabrication
Lithography
Metrology
Yield science
Coordinates nanoscale process windows, contamination control, and domestic supply resilience for photonics,
MEMS, and advanced packaging. Partners receive standardized qualification vehicles and shared reference
datasets to compress bring-up cycles while preserving IP firewalls.
DIR-BIO / Version 2026.1
Biohub infrastructure
BSL tiers
Cold chain
Assay platforms
Designs and sustains distributed biohubs with harmonized instrumentation, digital specimen provenance, and
surge staffing models. Interfaces with public health interoperability standards while isolating sensitive
research enclaves behind policy-enforced gateways.
DIR-ACOUS / Version 2026.1
Sound engineering & acoustics
NVH
SONAR adj.
Hearing conservation
Delivers signature management, structural-acoustic modeling, and calibrated anechoic / reverberant test
services. Programs receive standardized measurement uncertainty budgets and community-impact mitigation
playbooks for high-energy acoustic events.
DIR-SYSE / Version 2026.1
Systems engineering office
MBSE
IV&V
SoS integration
Maintains the enterprise architecture repository, interface control registers, and verification closure
metrics across divisions. Chairs cross-domain release boards and adjudicates trade studies that affect
safety, security, or operational availability.
Interoperability commitments
Division chiefs publish interface definition documents (IDDs) for shared services such as identity, logging,
time sync, and configuration management. Breaking changes follow a six-month deprecation window except for
active incident response, where emergency waivers are time-boxed and retroactively reviewed.
