The proliferation of new, more lethal threats and the need for improved situational awareness in the electromagnetic spectrum fuel more sophisticated radio frequency (RF) and microwave designs. Meanwhile, open architecture efforts are enabling faster adoption of techbnlogy and lowering long-term costs.
Electronic warfare, radar and ELINT applications demand direct RF solutions to deliver low-latency, fast data processing solutions for critical real-time decision-making. Mercury’s
DRF3182 3U OpenVPX board offers fast direct RF wideband data capture at the edge with heterogenous FPGA processing, explosive 51.2 GSPS A/D & D/A speeds, Ku band frequencies from 2-18 GHz and six 100 GigE interfaces with an aggregate throughput of 75 GB/sec.

Lockheed Martin has signed an agreement -- which could be worth as much as $2 billion if all options are exercised -- with the U.S. Navy to integrate hypersonic strike capability onto the Navy's Zumwalt-class guided missile destroyers.
Rising defense budgets around the globe are fueling a rapid increase in the global surveillance radar system market in the coming years, a new report predicts.
Software-defined radio (SDR) can assist with the integration and use of radar as it is used in electronic warfare (EW) systems and give users the flexibility to adapt to modern and constantly evolving threats.
CAES has won a contract with the U.S. Navy -- with a reported value of as much as $38.5 million over five years -- to supply spares, engineering services, and repairs on antenna-array panel assemblies to continue to support the SEWIP Block 2 program.
Hensoldt has won a contract from CAE Aviation to deliver a multimission surveillance radar to their surveillance aircraft fleet, Hensoldt announced in a statement.
The Missile Defense Agency's Sea-Based X-Band Radar (SBX-1) has finished a record-long 662-day-long voyage in the Pacific Ocean and is now in Hawaii to get repairs and upgrades, according to a recent report.
Raytheon Technologies has won a $250 million contract to design, develop, and deliver a seven-vehicle missile tracking satellite constellation for the Space Development Agency, the company announced in a statement.
5G NR has arrived at a perfect time to meet the ever-increasing global mobile broadband needs. This paper covers current 5G technologies and standards, demonstrates the importance of testing throughout the development process and offers a comparison of different use cases and test solutions.
There is a growing need across multiple sectors for devices to be able to support the greater intelligence required to transition from automated to autonomous systems. This is driving technical requirements for open standards–based software-defined architectures to enable consolidation of multiple applications, including those at different levels of criticality and using multiple operating systems, onto common computing platforms.
