ECMA / SLAAC ObjectivesChallenge Problem:

Existing Tactical Electronic Counter-Measures Equipment is Not Adaptable to a Changing Threat and Does Not Readily Support Real-Time Reconfiguration or Long Term Modifications

SLAAC / ECMA GOALS :

• Demonstrate That Nonlinear ECMA Functions can be Efficiently Implemented in an Adaptive Computing Environment• Demonstrate that SLAAC / ECMA Can Reconfigure to Adapt to a Changing Threat• Demonstrate that New Capability Can be Easily Added to a SLAAC / ECMA Configuration• Provide a Transition Path for SLAAC / ECMA to be Implemented in a Real- Time Tactical System

ISI Progress

Ported Algorithm #1 to SLAAC2 Beta tester for SLAAC simulator Beta tester for SLAAC2 drivers

Helped debug SLAAC2 boards Verified memory test Provided extra sanity for other tests

Ported Algorithm #1 to SLAAC1 Verified no need to replace and

reroute 2 days to port

Shipping SLAAC2 within next week to LMGES

Algorithm #1 Results

Utilization 555 CLBs, 17% of X0 4085, 2% SLAACII Board Higher than 8.9% X0 Estimate

– Overhead in replicating external memory bus– Memory width decrease 32 -> 18– State machines designed with K.I.S.S.
