U.S. Army Opens Microelectronics Facility at Tobyhanna Depot to Support Circuit Card Production
DEFENSE
The U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command opened a microelectronics manufacturing facility at Tobyhanna Army Depot in June 2025. This facility focuses on developing repair, manufacturing, and testing capabilities for circuit cards used in complex military systems. The roots of printed circuit board technology trace back to innovations from the Signal Corps Engineering Laboratories after World War II, particularly the 'Auto-sembly' process developed in 1949, which revolutionized circuit board fabrication.
