Defense Microelectronics Activity's contract dollars, traced to the source.
Defense Microelectronics Activity · Department of War
The Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) is a Department of War field activity that engineers advanced microelectronics solutions and combats obsolescence for legacy and next-generation weapons systems. Its roughly $1.27B in FY2025 contract awards is heavily concentrated in microelectronics engineering and R&D task orders run through its Advanced Technology Support Program (ATSP) — study, design, prototype, fabricate & test work spanning EHF communications terminals and Enhanced Coyote Block 2/3 counter-UAS interceptors. Raytheon dominates the top of the ledger, holding all five largest awards.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Defense Microelectronics Activity awarding sub-agency. It shows where DMEA's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. Figures reflect the contract (procurement) award slice reported to USAspending, not DMEA's total budget authority. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of War monitor.
