Mercury Systems Announces First Production Shipments of Award-Winning RF Transceiver for Next-Generation Electronic Warfare A...
11 January 2019 - 8:15AM
Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY, www.mrcy.com) today announced
the first production shipments of its rugged SpectrumSeries™
RFM3101 radio frequency (RF) transceiver to a leading supplier of
integrated electronic warfare (EW) systems. Mercury’s OpenVPX™ RF
transceiver features ultra-wideband frequency conversion with
excellent phase noise, high dynamic range and a low spurious output
in a compact 3U form factor optimized for future upgradability.
This single-channel, microwave transceiver is optimized for
demanding, low-latency DRFM applications and includes an optional
external LO input to support multichannel, coherent systems that
offer best-in-class low spurious performance. In recognition of its
high performance and open architecture compliance, the RFM3101
transceiver received a four-star distinction from Military Embedded
Systems at the recent 55th Annual Association of Old Crows
International Symposium and Convention in Washington, D.C.
Developed as a joint effort across multiple Mercury facilities,
this modular RF transceiver features OpenRFM™ frequency conversion
blocks to support customization and rapid upgradability. To ensure
an efficient production ramp-up, all RFM3101 modules are
manufactured and shipped from Mercury’s AS9100D-certified facility
in Huntsville, Ala., where advanced automated manufacturing
technology minimizes lead time and cost.
While the first production shipments support a broadband
electronic attack system, this agile RF transceiver is also ideal
for applications including direction finding and spectrum
monitoring. As technology evolves to counter future adversarial
threats, the OpenRFM design approach enables modifications at the
sub-assembly level that improve performance with no changes to the
mechanical outline or interface. This combination of
multi-application support and upgradability are critical to
supporting the U.S. Armed Forces in achieving and maintaining
control of the congested and contested electromagnetic spectrum
(EMS).
“As new threats emerge across the EMS, next-generation EW
technology must not only provide the high performance required for
today’s systems, but also support rapid upgrades to maintain future
superiority,” said Neal Austin, Vice President and General Manager
of Mercury’s Embedded Sensor Processing group. “We are honored to
be a key supplier of this advanced technology that enables the
long-term control of the EMS, supporting the warfighters of today
and tomorrow.”
