Unstructured requirements
Clients can describe their mission but not their silicon architecture. Every engagement starts with months of manual extraction.
Silicon Assessment & Inference for Requirements
From mission description to hardware trust specification in under two hours.
Defense primes and DoD program offices can describe their mission — the platform, the operating environment, the threat — but they cannot describe their hardware design requirements. SiliconAIR inverts this: a structured profile captures the silicon dimensions that matter, and an expert-built inference engine produces a complete hardware trust and silicon provenance specification. What used to take 3–4 months of manual workshops now takes under two hours.
The Problem01 02 03
Hardware requirements are the bottleneck nobody budgets for.
Primes and program offices can define mission requirements in detail — but translating those into concrete silicon design specifications requires months of manual workshops, senior systems engineers, and multiple rounds of discovery. Every engagement starts from scratch, and the result is delayed NRE contracts and budget overruns before a single transistor is laid out.
The gap between mission description and hardware specification has never been wider. SiliconAIR closes it.
Fragmented compliance
Hardware trust, export control, anti-tamper, crypto, and supply chain are assessed separately — or not at all — until late in the design cycle.
No repeatable process
Each new engagement reinvents the requirements workflow. Institutional knowledge lives in email threads, not a structured platform.
What SiliconAIR Is
A structured assessment platform for custom chips and secure integrated systems.
SiliconAIR captures your mission requirements in a controlled silicon profile, then infers the complete set of hardware trust capabilities, provenance controls, and framework-mapped compliance requirements that design must satisfy — producing a specification ready for NRE scoping in under two hours instead of months of workshops. SiliconAIR also integrates with CYBAIR and AIR as the silicon/hardware assessment layer of the broader readiness suite.

Deliverables
One assessment. The complete silicon specification package.
SiliconAIR doesn't hand you a findings report. It hands your engineering and program teams the full specification package — trust and engineering requirements, threat posture, compliance mapping, and the economics to fund it — ready for NRE scoping.

The deliverable — not a report about one
Every engagement produces one integrated specification, spanning engineering requirements — architecture, interfaces, environmental and integration constraints, trade-off analysis — together with the trust, threat, compliance, and economic dimensions below.
§1
Trust & provenance requirements
Root of trust, cryptographic standards, anti-tamper, hardware security, and supply chain provenance — inferred from your mission profile and weighted by criticality.
→ Trust engineered in from the start, not bolted on.
§2
Threat & risk assessment
Structured analysis of Trojan insertion, side-channel attacks, reverse engineering, and supply chain interdiction — probability × impact scores with mapped mitigations.
→ Price the risk before you commit NRE dollars.
§3
Compliance cross-reference
Every applicable control across FIPS, Trusted IC criteria, CMMC, ITAR, and AUKUS — with equivalency mappings and a certification roadmap.
→ One assessment satisfies many frameworks.
§4
Economic analysis
NRE cost estimation, per-unit projections, SWaP-C comparison (ASIC vs. FPGA vs. COTS), and make-vs-buy decision support.
→ Defensible budget and architecture decisions.
Position
SiliconAIR inside Multipolar AIR — the silicon counterpart to CYBAIR.
SiliconAIR is the hardware bounded context inside Multipolar AIR. Together CYBAIR (cyber AI readiness) and SiliconAIR (silicon assessment & inference) form a complete AI + hardware readiness assessment. When an AI workload runs on custom silicon, a CYBAIR assessment can automatically trigger a complementary SiliconAIR assessment — closing the loop from software to hardware trust.
