The outcome should contribute to:
- Develop and share a common hardware library of chiplets building blocks.
- Identify EU based building blocks compatible with advanced architecture for defence components.
- Increase competitive advantage to the EDTIB in the domain of components development and integration.
- Increase flexibility of architectures to create multifunctional, systems, able to adapt to capability needs.
A new paradigm is proposed by the development of the so-called "chiplet" approach, where a chiplet is an integrated circuit block that has been specifically designed to work with other chiplets to form more complex integrated systems. This approach can be used for System in Package (SiP) (heterogeneous integration) in which the System is subdivided into functional circuit blocks.
Chiplets offer a new opportunity for defence electronics, overcoming the limitations of generic components like FPGAs (offering a single solution with limited performances) and ASICs (offering high performances but with high development costs due to the specific development). Chiplet architecture offers an interesting opportunity to reduce the development costs thanks to the reuse of existing blocks and to decrease the manufacturing cost thanks to higher yield compared to large monolithic dies. It may also benefit from use of off-the-shelf chiplets to limit development costs and reinforce the resilience of
