ANDOVER, Massachusetts. Mercury Systems won a contract worth up to $96 million to provide RTX with high-performance signal processing subsystems for the U.S. Army's Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS), the company announced in a statement.

ANDOVER, Massachusetts. Mercury Systems unveiled a new Direct RF (radio frequency) system-on-module (SOM) that uses Intel Agilex Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to process signals across a broad range of the electromagnetic spectrum, the company announced in a statement.

60th AOC INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM & CONVENTION, NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.  Mercury Systems showcased new electronic warfare (EW) and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology at the Annual AOC [Association of Old Crows] International Symposium & Convention, underway in National Harbor, Maryland.

60th AOC INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM & CONVENTION, NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. Mercury Systems will be showing its Mercury Processing Platform, aimed at enabling edge-ready electronic warfare (EW) solutions, at the upcoming Annual AOC [Association of Old Crows] International Symposium & Convention, scheduled for December 11-13 in National Harbor, Maryland.

ANDOVER, Mass. Mercury Systems announced that it signed an agreement with the U.S. Navy to develop manufacturing capabilities that would allow commercial photonics chiplets to accelerate edge processing in defense applications.

Widespread exploitation of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum profoundly impacts all consumer, commercial, industrial, government, and military markets across the globe. Since defense system counterparts often need hundreds or thousands of antenna elements, they can benefit from the technology and components developed for 5G commercial markets. Because the most critical imperative for government defense organizations is continuous enhancement of electromagnetic spectrum domination, an area of improvement must be enhancing how radio frequency signals of interest are acquired, analyzed, and then exploited through sophisticated signal-processing techniques to deliver an effective response. Such a mandate inspires new defense and electronic warfare (EW) technologies and architectures that boost performance levels across each system.

Innovators in the area of commercial semiconductors are continuously developing new capabilities in silicon; defense system designers can leverage these advances to build open architecture-based processing solutions. When intelligently packaged for reliable deployment at the edge, the latest commercial data center technologies can advance mission capabilities for the defense and aerospace sector.
