The Intel Foundry Accelerator United States Military, Aerospace, and Government (USMAG) Alliance pulls together Intel Foundry’s leading-edge process capabilities with trusted partners in EDA, IP, and design services.  Microsoft is pleased to officially join this alliance.

In joining the Intel Foundry Accelerator USMAG Alliance, Microsoft brings not only the near infinite infrastructure scaling needed for leading-edge silicon designs, but also adds the Azure Modeling and Simulation Workbench, a proven cloud-based semiconductor design and collaboration platform to create a secure environment where DIBs and their suppliers can develop advanced silicon solutions for MAG applications.

Microsoft is a leader in providing secure, scalable engineering environments used by leading commercial semiconductor companies. Defense Industrial Base suppliers will be able to access advanced resources such as Azure AI/ML, Microsoft generative AI, and the advanced secure collaboration capabilities provided by the Azure Modeling and Simulation Workbench, allowing for accelerated engineering collaboration within and across Program Offices and DIBs.

The Azure environment provides support for data at higher classification levels (IL4/IL5/IL6 and higher). Azure government regions meet compliance requirements for CUI, ITAR, FedRAMP, CMCC, etc.

Microsoft joining the Intel Foundry Accelerator USMAG Alliance Program will enable silicon suppliers to the US government the ability to create chips at the scale and complexity previously only accessible to the largest commercial semiconductor companies.
