WASHINGTON REPORT

摘要

Counterfeit electronic parts are emerging as a growing problem for the military, cutting down on the reliability and sustainability of programs like the Navy's SH-60B helicopter and P-8A Poseidon antisubmarine patrol aircraft, the Senate Armed Services Committee revealed Nov. 7. During its months-long investigation, the committee uncovered approximately 1,800 individual cases of suspect counterfeit parts in the military's supply chain, with the total number of suspect parts exceeding 1 million.
