Abstract :
RASSP, a four-year US Department of Defense program, aims to reduce the cost and development time for military embedded digital signal processors by a factor of four. At the same time, RASSP will decrease signal processor life cycle costs by at least four times. This article summarizes the program´s technical approach and provides measures, using real systems development examples, of progress made in the project´s first two years
