ARLINGTON, Va., 10 Dec. 2013. U.S. military researchers will brief industry this month on a program to develop jamming-resistant communications systems and difficult-to-detect-communications technology to keep battlefield networks functioning amid a variety of spectrum-warfare threats.

It is an open secret that, for a variety of reasons, the U.S. manufacturing base has sharply deteriorated over the past three decades, and the semiconductor industry is no exception. In fact, the semiconductor industry may have suffered harder than some other American enterprises. The purpose of this paper is to explain the causes of this decline and offer some common-sense economic policies that may lead to the industry’s revival.
