CURE

CURE (COTS/Component Upgrade and Reverification Environment)

The CURE program, , under contract through the Naval Air Systems Command to EDAptive Computing, Inc.,  automates Rosetta, a System Level Design Language that targets requirements specifications, through a tool suite called EDASTAR.Ambiguous requirements force system designers to redefine or even create design specifications that are later passed to the development team for implementation.  Since these specifications differ from the original requirements, traceability is quickly lost, and the phenomenon of as-built documentation begins to take hold.  Rarely does the design process provide meaningful tie-back to the original specification.  This disconnection is ultimately resolved by performance of extensive verification testing, and in many cases redesign loops that are costly and time consuming. This ambiguity spawns deficiencies that ultimately become significant cost drivers throughout the system life cycle, and potentially result in premature obsolescence and/or, compromised capability. The purpose of CURE is to eradicate this ambiguity and provide a machine executable specification that will transcend both time and people.
