The US National Security Technology Accelerator (NSTXL) has selected Microsoft and Qualcomm to build custom chips for the US military, the government agency announced Thursday – part of its efforts to ensure that the US Department of Defense (DoD) has home-grown access to the latest chip-making tech.
Microsoft explains that historically the security requirements associated with developing microelectronics for the military have limited the ability of the DoD to leverage the latest innovations.
