ANDOVER, Mass. Mercury Systems has received $11.7 million in orders against its previously announced $152 million five-year sole-source basic ordering agreement (BOA) to deliver advanced digital RF memory (DRFM) jammers to the U.S. Navy.
According to Mercury Systems officials, the Mercury DRFM jammers are designed to be used in airborne pod-based solutions and use validated electronic attack techniques and custom RF components purpose-built to support advanced electronic warfare (EW) test and training capabilities.
