The semiconductor industry faced an acute shortage in production as a result of the pandemic.
This is why government agencies, including the Department of Defense (DoD), are kick-starting initiatives to encourage chip manufacturing companies to increase the domestic construction of next-generation fabs. Today, the DoD is awarding Intel an agreement to commercially provide foundry services.

RAMP-C, which is the Rapid Assured Microelectronics Prototypes - Commercial, is one of several US government programs intended to encourage domestic chip production. The RAMP-C program is focused on chip production for defense needs as the DoD wants to ensure all its chips are fabricated within the United States on a leading-edge commercial manufacturing node.

Intel will be leading a consortium of companies that includes IBM, Cadence, Synopsys, and more that will provide relevant expertise and technologies to the project.
The process isn't due to start until 2025 according to Intel's roadmap.
