Spirit Electronics Announces Managed Access to U.S.-Based Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing for Aerospace and Defense Programs

This offering enables defense and aerospace program managers to engage with mature, mixed signal, advanced node CMOS platforms manufactured entirely within the United States. These platforms—long utilized in high reliability commercial and industrial applications—are now accessible to government tier 1 programs requiring secure sourcing, long term sustainment, and controlled supply chain assurance. Spirit’s managed access model provides a structured interface that supports early program scoping, technical alignment, and program lifecycle coordination under the appropriate NDA and security frameworks.

“Defense customers continue to shift toward onshore manufacturing to secure their mission critical needs,” said Marti McCurdy, CEO of Spirit Electronics. “Our role is to simplify that path—offering a single, trusted channel that connects program requirements with domestic wafer fabrication options, supported by compliant program management, secure infrastructure, and long-term sustainment.”

Spirit’s vertically integrated services include secure program oversight, supply chain management, on shore assembly & test, environmental screening, qualification, and lifecycle support through a DLA suitable, AS9100, ISO9001, and CMMC Level 2 certified facility. By centralizing these services, Spirit enables government and aerospace programs to adopt U.S. semiconductor manufacturing with reduced risk and accelerated time to deployment.

This managed access model reflects Spirit’s continued commitment to strengthening the domestic microelectronics ecosystem and supporting national defense priorities through secure, U.S.-made semiconductor solutions.
