Chiplet for Defence Application
Funds research into a shared EU chiplet library that lets defence electronics mix and match chip building blocks instead of custom ASICs.
Chiplet for Defence Application is a European Defence Fund (EDF) Research Action that funds research into a shared EU chiplet library — small, reusable integrated-circuit blocks combined into a System in Package — letting defence electronics mix and match chip building blocks instead of relying on generic FPGAs or costly custom ASICs, covering a common hardware library and at least one military ap…
This topic wants research into chiplet technology for defence electronics — small, reusable integrated-circuit blocks combined into a System in Package — as a cheaper, more flexible alternative to generic FPGAs or costly custom ASICs. It covers building and sharing a common hardware library of chiplets and designing at least one military application using them, ideally with EU-based manufacturing.
