Aerospace and Defense

Semiconductor solutions for aerospace and defense systems must address mission-critical availability, performance, processing, and security requirements while balancing seemingly opposing demands for size, weight, and power (SWaP) reduction. At the same time, they must operate reliably, in potentially extreme conditions, to ensure that crucial safety and security functions remain uncompromised.

To bring these differentiated solutions quickly from concept to reality, companies in the A&D industry need advanced semiconductor technologies, end-to-end services, and a partner they can rely on.
