Mercury Systems Supplies RF Modules for EW System

Jan. 8, 2018
The reliable performance of RF/microwave function modules helps to improve the overall performance of electronic-warfare (EW) systems.

Mercury Systems has received a $12 million order from a prime contractor for size, weight, and power (SWaP) -optimized RF modules for integration into an electronic warfare (EW) system. The order was booked in the firm’s fiscal 2018 second quarter and is expected to be shipped over the next several quarters. Mercury uses three scalable Advanced Microelectronics Centers (AMCs) located throughout the US to provide customers the assurance of affordable, long-term supply continuity for critical programs.

“Receiving this prominent order from our valued customer further validates Mercury’s leadership position in the design and manufacturing of state-of-the-art RF and microwaves modules needed for our nation’s most advanced electronic warfare programs,” said Kevin Beals, vice president and general manager of Mercury’s RF and Microwave group. “Our military forces can rely on Mercury’s next-generation business model to affordably commercialize innovations providing a strategic and tactical advantage on the electromagnetic battlefield.”
