Emulation Program, SP0700-02-D-1301, the Advanced Microcircuit Emulation Validation, and

SPM7MX-08-D-4002, the AME Implementation Program previously awarded to SRI

International (or its predecessor organizations). The work performed under the AME

Enrichment Program shall provide capability to maintain, enhance, and demonstrate Emulation technology for end Customers including DLA Land and Maritime (the Federal Stock Class

(FSC) 5962 Inventory Control Point (ICP)) and the broader DoD Community. AME developed capabilities in the following categories: Advanced Digital Devices, Microprocessors and
