Xilinx is committed to serving the defense and aerospace markets with leading  High-Reliability and QML Military Products. Since introducing the first MIL-STD-883 compliant FPGA in 1988, Xilinx has increased its commitment with over 100 Standard Microcircuit Drawing and military grade products. This commitment is even stronger today. In November 1997, Xilinx received full Qualified Manufacturer Listing (QML) status in compliance with MIL-PRF-38535. Xilinx' vision is to lead Military-Aerospace logic design into the 21st century with off-the-shelf FPGA solutions that combine the best commercial practices with the product performance and reliability of supply you have come to expect.

QPRO Products

In May 1998, Xilinx Inc.announced its new QPRO line of programmable logic solutions designed to meet evolving requirements of the aerospace and defense markets. 

The QPRO solutions include the Xilinx XQ4000X field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which are available as military temperature range plastic encapsulated devices that deliver densities up to 
130,000 system gates. The QPRO line also is supported by Xilinx Foundation and Alliance series 
design entry and place and route software, and a variety of verified software cores that can be used  to create system level functions such as standard bus interfaces in Xilinx XQ4000X devices.
