Lockheed Martin and GlobalFoundries Collaborate to Advance Innovation and Resiliency of Chips for National Security
12 Juni 2023 - 6:30PM
Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and GlobalFoundries (Nasdaq: GFS) (GF)
today announced a strategic collaboration to advance U.S.
semiconductor manufacturing and innovation and to increase the
security, reliability and resiliency of domestic supply chains for
national security systems. This collaboration will enable Lockheed
Martin to more quickly and affordably produce secure solutions that
increase the competitiveness and national security of the United
States. The announcement was made today at GF’s advanced
manufacturing facility in upstate New York with U.S. Senate
Majority Leader Charles Schumer, Lockheed Martin Chairman,
President and CEO Jim Taiclet and GF President and CEO Dr. Thomas
Caulfield.
The companies will leverage GF’s differentiated technology and
trusted manufacturing practices to increase anti-fragility in
microelectronics systems and supply chains. The collaboration will
explore critical needs in semiconductor innovation and secure
manufacturing across a range of advanced and next-generation chip
technologies, including 3D heterogeneous integration for optimized
chip packaging that improves performance; silicon photonics for
low-power and high-speed data transport; and gallium nitride on
silicon to help chips work at higher temperatures. The companies
will also work to develop a chiplet ecosystem to produce chips more
rapidly and affordably.
The collaboration between Lockheed Martin and GF directly
supports the CHIPS and Science Act’s objectives of increasing
traceability, provenance, and onshore production of critical
semiconductor technologies to strengthen national and economic
security and domestic supply chains.
“This major new partnership between GlobalFoundries and Lockheed
Martin brings together two giants of Upstate NY industry to ensure
that the chips used in the technology that keep our country and our
troops safe are made right here in the Capital Region. That means
that more of the most complex, critical components we need to
protect our national security going forward are going to be stamped
‘Made in New York’,” said Senator Schumer. “I wrote my CHIPS &
Science Act to spark partnerships like this that will secure our
domestic supply chains and lead to job growth and investment in
places like Upstate New York. Now more than ever, we need to secure
our supply chains, and make sure the chips that our military relies
on are built in places like the Capital Region, not overseas, and
GlobalFoundries and Lockheed Martin are leading the charge to
ensure that we build America’s tech future here in Upstate NY.”
“Lockheed Martin is focused on delivering cutting-edge 21st
Century Security capabilities that advance deterrence and keep our
customers ahead of emerging threats,” said Jim Taiclet, chairman,
president and CEO of Lockheed Martin. “This begins with securely
manufactured semiconductors. We look forward to working with
GlobalFoundries to help increase access to domestically produced
microelectronics – a true national security imperative.”
“The GF team has been a trusted partner of the U.S. government
and the aerospace and defense industry for decades,” said Dr.
Thomas Caulfield, president and CEO of GF. “We are proud to
collaborate with Lockheed Martin to address the growing need for a
reliable supply of trusted, feature-rich semiconductors for
mission-critical security systems. Today's announcement is another
example of GF's commitment to innovation, our global manufacturing
footprint, and enabling a more resilient semiconductor supply chain
in the U.S. and abroad.”
GF’s manufacturing facilities in New York and Vermont have
Trusted accreditation from the U.S. government and are authorized
to produce secure chips for use in the nation’s most sensitive
systems on land, air, sea, and in space.
Both companies are committed to helping strengthen the supply
chain for semiconductors used in critical defense systems. To
further advance this shared goal, Lockheed Martin and GF will
jointly pursue external funding opportunities, technology
development, and collaboration with the U.S. government.
