META
Abstract
The goal of the META program is to develop novel design flows, tools, and processes to enable a significant improvement in the ability to design complex defense systems that are verified by virtual testing. The program seeks to develop a design representation from which system designs can quickly be assembled and their correctness verified with a high degree of certainty. Such a "fab-less" design approach is complemented by a foundry-style manufacturing capability, consisting of a factory capable of rapid reconfiguration between a large number of products and product variants through bitstream re-programmability, with minimal or no resultant learning curve effects. Together, the fab-less design and foundry-style manufacturing capability is anticipated to yield substantial---by a factor of five ---compression in the time to develop and field complex defense and aerospace systems.
