Abstract

Evolvable Hardware (EHW) Technology is useful to maintain existing functionality in the presence of faults and degradation due to aging, temperature and radiation. EHW refers to self-configuration of electronic hardware by evolutionary/genetic search mechanisms. EHW can bring key benefits to spacecraft survivability, adaptation to new mission requirements and mission reliability. Our approach is to implement intrinsic EHW design on FPGA. This paper discusses the development of evolutionary algorithm based on genetic algorithm in a Xilinx FPGA by hardware implementation of a Genetic Algorithm.
