The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate onshore semiconductor manufacturing technology, government funded microelectronics (IP, chips, die, or modules), and a secure storefront model providing modular, scalable open access to integrated circuits and microelectronics. The overall goal is to ensure microelectronics for critical systems can continue to be sustained and maintained by replacing legacy technologies with state-of-the-art (SOTA) technologies.

Specific objectives include:

  • Adapt and validate the use of Government Radiation Hardened System-on-Chip (GRADSoC) processors for specific mission critical systems and infrastructure
  • Design, fabricate, test, and productize a development kit for the GRADSoC processor
  • Demonstrate the viability of domestic SOTA semiconductor manufacturing, assembly, and testing
