TJ Green Associates LLC announces the Call for Presentations for the 29th Annual Components for Military & Space Electronics (CMSE) Conference & Exhibition, to be held April 28–30, 2026, at the Renaissance Los Angeles Airport Hotel, Los Angeles, California.
CMSE is recognized as a premier event dedicated to the design, reliability, and application of microelectronic components used in avionics, aerospace, and military systems, as well as commercial, civilian, and military space platforms.
Event overview
The CMSE 2026 conference will offer three days of technical presentations and tutorials delivered by industry professionals. The program focuses on practical engineering challenges and solutions across the full spectrum of high-reliability electronic components for terrestrial and space environments.
Dates: April 28–30, 2026.
Location: Renaissance Los Angeles Airport Hotel, Los Angeles, California.
The CMSE Program Committee includes experts from leading aerospace, defense, and component manufacturers and organizations across the global supply chain.
Topics of interest
The CMSE 2026 Program Committee invites presentation outlines on a wide range of high-reliability component and system topics. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
- Non-hermetic components: Class P, Class Y, Class F and COTS for high-reliability applications.
- Leveraging automotive and alternate grade parts for military and space programs.
- Selection and approval processes for Space PEMS/COTS devices.
- Hermeticity issues: IGA (TM 1018) moisture concerns, TM 1014 testing, and getters.
- EEE parts engineering challenges for small satellites.
- Advances in PME/BME MLCCs and MIL-PRF stacked capacitors.
- Supercapacitors and high CV solutions for high-reliability systems.
- Integrated passive components and transient response considerations.
- Ultra-thin embedded passives for circuit miniaturization.
- Tantalum polymer technology for space and wear-out; GaN and SiC for RF and power management.
- AI tools and digital engineering/model-based design.
- Counterfeits, trust, and security in supply chain management.
- Long-term dormant storage (Hermetic vs. Non-Hermetic components).
- Silicon photonic ICs (PICs) and fiber optics for space applications.
- Thermal management at component and board level.
- Passive component solutions for improved power quality.
Presentation format
Presentations are planned as concise technical sessions designed to maximize knowledge sharing and discussion. Contributors are encouraged to focus on practical experience, lessons learned, and applicable methods.
- Length: 15–20 minutes per presentation, plus 5 minutes for Q&A.
- Paper requirement: No formal written paper is required.
- Materials: Presenters may decide how much of their presentation material is shared with attendees.
The goal of CMSE 2026 is to promote open exchange of scientific and technical information on common problems faced by component manufacturers and system OEMs in the aerospace and defense sectors.
Submission details
Prospective speakers are invited to submit a brief presentation outline for review by the CMSE Program Committee. Outlines should clearly identify the topic, key points, and relevance to high-reliability military and space electronics.
