About this award
The University of Florida was awarded a $5.37M cost-reimbursable contract by the Air Force Research Laboratory on September 14, 2020, to develop STAMP (A Holistic Background/Forward Trust Framework for Protecting Microelectronics Through Lifecycle), with an ultimate completion date of December 18, 2024. This contract supports the Air Force Materiel Command's broader Assured and Trusted Microelectronics Solutions initiative, which aims to ensure legacy and future microelectronics remain sustainable, reliable, and protected across military system lifecycles. The University of Florida's work, performed in Gainesville, Florida, addresses critical needs in design assurance, fabrication security, validation and verification, and intellectual property protections for military microelectronics. The contract was awarded without set-aside designation, reflecting open competition among qualified research institutions.
The project involves collaboration with The Ohio State University as a subcontractor, which joined the effort through two awards in October 2020 and October 2021. Both universities' work focuses on developing an end-to-end Security and Trust protection framework that establishes comprehensive threat models and specifications, progressively addressing potential threats across design and implementation phases. The research includes application to industrial-level system-on-chips (SoCs) and verification through fabricated "Trust-Vehicle" chips, ensuring that security countermeasures are implemented consistently and efficiently without compromising other design parameters. This research initiative represents part of the Air Force's larger $299.95M microelectronics assurance program, which supports multiple contracts ranging from $2M to $20M across 12-to-36-month periods.
