The CRAFT program is meant to shorten the design cycle for customized circuits to months rather than years, provide frameworks for when new fabrication plants are built and create a database for technology development.
The program is designed to make it easier for smaller, less expensive teams to reconfigure and update computer and circuitry systems for a large range of military equipment. This includes drones, information-sharing systems and man-portable battery systems.
