GlobalFoundries and U.S. Department of Defense Showcase Secure Chip Manufacturing at 2023 Trusted Foundry Training
October 12 2023 - 9:18AM
GlobalFoundries (Nasdaq: GFS) (GF) and the U.S. Department of
Defense (DoD) will host a group of leaders and technologists from
across the aerospace and defense industry on October 18-19 at GF’s
Trusted Foundry Training 2023 in Arlington, Virginia. The
invite-only event will showcase the critical role of Trusted chip
manufacturing for sensitive national defense applications and
highlight how essential chips securely manufactured by GF are
enabling innovation and provide an efficient path to new technology
development across a range of markets.
The 2023 Trusted Foundry Training builds on the announcement
last month of the DoD awarding GF a new $3.1 billion, 10-year
contract for a supply of securely manufactured, U.S.-made
semiconductors for use across a wide range of critical aerospace
and defense applications. The new contract was the third sequential
10-year contract of its kind between the DoD and the Trusted
Foundry business team at GF.
At the Trusted Foundry Training event, Steven J.
Morani, DoD principal deputy assistant secretary of
defense for sustainment, will deliver the keynote address on Oct.
18. In addition, Dr. Nicholas Martin, director of
DoD’s Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA), Aman
Gahoonia, director of the DMEA’s Trusted Access Program
Office (TAPO), and Dr. Carl McCants, special
assistant to the DARPA director, along with other leaders from
government and the defense sector, will take the stage to discuss
Trusted chip manufacturing and provide key updates to the DoD’s
Trusted Foundry program.
On Oct. 19, Igor Arsovski, fellow and head of
silicon technology at AI startup Groq, will deliver the keynote
“Waking up to AI.” Along with presentations from the GF team on the
company’s silicon photonics, gallium nitride, silicon germanium and
other wide bandgap technologies, day two of the event will include
discussions around supply chain resiliency and transparency, chips
for harsh environments, and conclude with remarks from GF's
Ezra Hall, senior director of aerospace and
defense, about the benefits of enhanced chip manufacturing security
for companies outside the defense sector.
“As the leading supplier of securely manufactured essential
chips for the U.S. aerospace and defense industry, and a
longstanding partner to the U.S. Department of Defense, GF is
uniquely positioned to convene this group of leaders and decision
makers for a wide-ranging discussion on Trusted chip
manufacturing,” said Mike Cadigan, chief corporate and government
affairs officer at GF, who will kick off the event on Oct. 18.
“Defense contractors will hear straight from the source how GF
Trusted manufacturing, our platforms and solutions, our design
enablement and turnkey services, when paired with our
industry-leading IP offerings and design tools, are accelerating
design cycles and enabling our customers to speed up their time to
market for new technologies.”
GF’s U.S. facilities are DoD-accredited to the highest level,
Trusted Supplier Category 1A, which implements proven stringent
security measures to protect sensitive information and manufacture
chips with the highest levels of integrity to ensure they are
uncompromised.
