KEY FEATURES
Chrysalis significantly reduces non-recurring engineering costs and risk to schedule by leveraging best-of-breed engineers, hardware and tools. The reconfigurable processing hardware across the Chrysalis product line shares common open and published application program interfaces to conform to popular open-system standards. This enables customers to modify hardware at multiple physical and software levels with or without the involvement of L3Harris – eliminating vendor lock.

CHRYSALIS NEXT-GENERATION MULTIFUNCTION PROCESSING
Chrysalis is L3Harris’ next-generation portfolio of open, reconfigurable hardware and software processing solutions that can be rapidly and securely integrated for both dedicated use and multifunction implementation.
The portfolio’s model-based systems-of-systems architecture allows L3Harris to generate specifications and provide SWaP-C estimates for customers in the matter of an afternoon, rather than over the course of many months. This rapid integration gives customers access to high-performance, cost-effective processing capabilities at the speed of relevance.
COST-EFFECTIVE, FUTURE-PROOF PROCESSING
CHRYSALIS™
DEPLOY CUTTING-EDGE CAPABILITIES FASTER THAN PREVIOUSLY POSSIBLE
L3Harris’ portfolio of advanced open systems processing solutions meets current and future U.S. Army mission requirements at significantly reduced size, weight, power and cost and with minimal risk.
ADVANCED MISSION PROCESSING
CLOSE
From complex modeling to comprehensive analysis, our modeling and simulation capabilities deliver new horizons in digital engineering.
Mission Modeling and Simulation
To inform decisions about the structure, context and behavior
of a physical asset, L3Harris uses virtual information constructs known as digital twins. The digital half is dynamically updated with data from its physical twin throughout its life cycle to enable missions.
Digital Twins
L3Harris uses live, virtual and constructive models and simulations to depict a multi-domain operational scenario.
Each element replicates a wide spectrum of military operations in different functional environments to understand and optimize systems and mission operations.
Simulation and Mission Analysis
To deliver applications and services at high velocity for our customers, L3Harris employs a DevOps approach.
Unlike traditional software development infrastructure management processes, DevOps combines cultural philosophies, practices and tools to evolve and improve products at a faster pace.
Devops
To design, build, test and release products faster and more reliably, L3Harris uses a set of practices to combine FPGA development with system and software integration. FPGA DevOps enables certain steps of the FPGA development process to be automated, accelerated and/or standardized, which reduces program costs.
Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) DevOps
Model-based definition (MBD)
Unlike other methodologies that have historically required accompanying use of 2D engineering drawings to provide such details, digital engineering shifts the focus to having models as the record of authority, known as MBD, or digital product definition (DPD).
By using models (such as MCAD, ECAD and CAE, 3D product manufacturing information and associated metadata) within CAD software, L3Harris can define individual components and product assemblies. The types of information included are geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), com-ponent level materials, assembly level bills of materials, engineering configurations, design intent, etc.
L3Harris’ integration services enables the “Digital Thread”- a communication framework that allows a connected data flow and integrated view of the asset’s data throughout its lifecycle across traditionally siloed functional perspectives. The Digital Thread concept raises the bar for delivering the right information to the right place at the right time.
Integration services
To support system requirements, design, analysis, veri-fication and validation activities throughout a product’s lifecycle, L3Harris uses a formalized application of modeling known as MBSE.
Beginning in the conceptual design phase and continuing throughout development and later lifecycle phases, MBSE enables early detection of defects, iterative design, re-duction of rework and improved producibility leading to reduced cost and time to market.
