Established in 2021, EMC is the ONR ManTech Center of Excellence for electronics located within the Penn State Applied Research Laboratory in Freeport, Pennsylvania. The core mission and function of the EMC is to identify, develop and facilitate the transition of electronics manufacturing technologies to reduce the cost and time to deploy electrical and electronic (digital and analog) systems as well as the supporting power storage and distribution infrastructure to naval ships, aircraft, submarines and unmanned systems. EMC personnel and technical contributors are experienced in most facets of electronics manufacturing and include experts from the Applied Research Laboratory and Pennsylvania State University and collaborators in the electronics manufacturing industry. The EMC facility has multiple laboratories dedicated to technology research and development, offices and meeting rooms, and spaces for performing DoD classified work.
