ANDOVER, Mass. Mercury Systems has won a $165 million firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract award from the U.S. Air Force (USAF) for secure flight-data recorders in support of the secure mission data systems (SMDS) on the USAF's F-16 fleet. 

This week’s product, the Mercury Systems’ SOSA aligned Jade 5585 250 MHz A/D with Virtex UltraScale+ HBM FPGA - 3U VPX board, is an 8-channel, high-speed data converter with programmable DDCs (digital downconverters). It is suitable for connection to HF or IF ports of a communications or radar system. Its built-in data capture feature offers a turnkey solution as well as a platform for developing and deploying custom FPGA-processing IP.

Radio frequency (RF) and microwave technology used in the military is ever-evolving and necessarily acclimating to the congested digital battlefield. These solutions need to be fluent in the language of electronic warfare (EW). Demands for multifunctionality, digitization, and increased sensitivity are pushing designers to add these capabilities that warfighters require when translating electronic noise into actionable information.

ANDOVER, Mass. Mercury Systems, Inc. announced it has won a $17 million contract to provide radio frequency (RF) microelectronics to support missile capabilities of the United States and its allies to better ensure air dominance.
