A report that counterfeit semiconductors were shipped to the U.S. Naval Submarine Base for use on Groton-based nuclear submarines led U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy on Wednesday to call on the Pentagon to be more rigorous in its choice of military suppliers.
Murphy, D-Conn., in a letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel sent Wednesday, said he had "great concern" after reading a report in The Day that cited the sale of counterfeit semiconductors from Hong Kong and China to the sub base by a company controlled by Peter Picone, a military-components supplier from Methuen, Mass.
Picone was charged this week on an eight-count indictment with peddling counterfeit military components to the sub base as well as unidentified contractors in Connecticut and Florida. There was no indication in the indictment whether the suspect parts, shipped in 2011 and 2012, ever were used aboard a nuclear sub.
"His case is only the latest example of the widespread problem that I brought to the attention of your predecessor, Secretary (Leon) Panetta, last year following the release of a Senate Armed Services Committee ... report that found more than 1,800 instances of counterfeit electronic parts in the defense supply chain," Murphy said in his letter to Hagel.
Murphy said counterfeit items represent a threat to the U.S. military's supply chain.
"Mr. Picone's case reinforces the fact that China is our biggest threat when it comes to counterfeit parts in our supply chain, and that the Chinese government appears unconcerned with cracking down on this type of business practice," Murphy said. "This case underscores why we need to be doing everything we can to foster domestic production of these indispensable items."
Murphy, a strong proponent of efforts to encourage government spending on American products, asked Hagel to "use all the tools at your disposal to invest in the domestic production of critical items in the defense supply chain and continue to closely monitor and punish those who would attempt to sell counterfeit goods to the Department of Defense."
Murphy did not raise the specter of national-security concerns, but the indictment of Picone said counterfeit semiconductors can contain malicious code and other dangers that could lead to intercepted communications and computer intrusions.
Bad parts also can result in mechanical malfunctions that could potentially be life-threatening, the indictment said.

The bubble created by the solar wind and magnetism that surrounds the solar system is larger and more interesting that previously thought, NASA scientists said Wednesday. The researchers used data collected by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer to make their discovery.?

EnlargeAstronomers have gotten the first-ever peek at our solar system's tail, called the heliotail, finding that it's shaped like a four-leaf clover, NASA scientists announced today (July 10).

The discovery was made using NASA's?Interstellar Boundary Explorer?(IBEX), a coffee table-sized spacecraft that is studying the edge of the solar system.
"Many models have suggested the heliotail might look like this or like that, but we have had no observations," David McComas, IBEX principal investigator at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Tex., said in a statement. "We always drew pictures where the tail of the solar system just trailed off the page, since we couldn't even speculate about what it really looked like." [Images: NASA's IBEX Sees Our Solar System's Tail]
The tail drags behind the bullet-shaped heliosphere, or the bubble surrounding our solar system that's created by the solar wind and solar magnetic field. Our heliotail is "a much larger structure with a much more interesting configuration" than scientists had previously predicted, McComas added during a news conference announcing the finding.
Researchers say the comet-like tail is inflated by the solar wind of particles streaming off the sun, and the four-leaf clover shape is the result of fast solar wind shooting out near the sun's poles and slower wind flowing from near the sun's equator. The finding is based on the first three years of IBEX's measurements of energetic neutral atoms.
In the interstellar boundary region, charged particles from the sun stream outward far beyond the planets toward the gas- and dust-filled space between stars. Collisions between these particles and interstellar material create fast-moving particles with no charge, known as energetic neutral atoms, or ENAs. Some of these particles speed inward toward the sun, where IBEX can detect them from its perch 200,000 miles (322,000 kilometers) above Earth.
"Scientists have always presumed that the heliosphere had a tail," Eric Christian, IBEX mission scientist at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., said during a Google+ Hangout announcing the findings. "But this is actually the first real data that we have to give us the shape of the tail."
Though IBEX data has given scientists an idea of the shape and structure of the heliotail, they say they have not been able to measure its length particularly well. They think it is probably evaporating over something like 1,000 times the distance between the Earth and the sun, McComas said.
