Abstract

The Rapid Prototyping of Application Specific Signal Processors (RASSP) program is an ARPA/Tri-Service initiative intended to dramatically improve the process by which complex digital systems, particularly embedded digital signal processors, are designed, manufactured, upgraded, and supported. RASSP seeks to improve by at least a factor of four (4×) the time required to take a design from concept to fielded prototype. RASSP is motivated by the need to provide affordable embedded signal processors for a wide range of DoD systems that are state-of-the-art when they are fielded, rather than when they are first defined
