VAI / Defense
VAI · Defense & national security
Trust at the speed of mission.
Hardware-rooted identity and authenticated networks for the defense industrial base, from microelectronics to the edge.
Modern defense runs on silicon. Every chip, radio and sensor is a point of trust. VAI makes each one prove it.
Velacomm · Defense & national security
Trust from silicon to the edge
One trusted foundation for the parts, people, platforms and data that missions depend on.
Chips that prove their origin
Self-authenticating hardware verifies what a part is and where it came from before it is installed.
Counterfeits stopped at the gate
Parts that cannot prove their identity are flagged and rejected at receiving, not discovered in the field.
Nothing trusted by default
Every device, part and operator is authenticated before it can connect, command or transact.
Authenticated links
Messages and commands carry verified identity end to end, across networks and domains.
Visibility you can rely on
Authenticated tracking of materiel from depot to point of need, even across partner networks.
Built for coalitions
Shared standards so the United States and trusted partners can verify each other’s parts and data.
Verified at every handoff
A part’s identity travels with it through its entire life, and is checked every time it changes hands.
- 01
Fabricate
Identity is set in the chip at the trusted foundry.
- 02
Ship
Every transfer is logged and authenticated.
- 03
Receive
Parts prove identity before acceptance.
- 04
Integrate
Only verified parts are installed in platforms.
- 05
Operate
Devices authenticate on every connection.
- 06
Sustain
Repairs and replacements are verified too.
Designed for national priorities
VAI is designed to support widely stated U.S. defense priorities: zero-trust architecture, trusted and assured microelectronics, and supply-chain risk management, together with the trusted-partner goals of Pax Silica.
Trusted technology for the United States and its allies.

Short answers to the questions partners ask most.
How does VAI support defense supply chains?
VAI gives microelectronics and components a hardware-rooted identity, so parts can be authenticated at every handoff from fabrication to depot to platform, helping keep counterfeit or tampered parts out of defense systems.
What is hardware-rooted identity?
Identity that lives in the chip itself. A self-authenticating chip can prove what it is, where it came from and what it is authorized to do, without relying on paperwork or a separate label that can be copied.
Does VAI support zero trust?
Yes. VAI is designed around zero-trust principles: no device, part or party is trusted by default, and every one is verified before it can connect or transact.
Can VAI work with allied partners?
VAI is designed for interoperability across the United States and trusted partner economies, consistent with the goals of the Pax Silica initiative.
