Abstract

The rapid development of programmable logic devices, FPGAs, offers new potential in the field of digital signal processing. The project Flexible Electronic Warfare Components has been concerned with how this can be used to speed up the development process of electronic warfare (EW) systems and obtain higher reliability demonstrators. This report describes the work done, and the conclusions drawn, in the project. The aim has been to set up guidelines for a methology for how to to go from model description to a specific electronic warfare component. The flexibility in FPGA techniques supports the desirable evolutionary development scheme that has been sussesfully applied in several EW projects. The methology offers the possibility to integrate several functions and, importantly,to upgrade EW systems in the field.
