Mercury’s DRF3182 3U OpenVPX board offers fast direct RF data capture at the edge with heterogeneous 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.

THE BIG STORY
Focus in on advanced RF and digital EW simulations, threat models, sensor evaluations, and cutting-edge technology development in the RF domain.
EW TECHNOLOGIES
Bistatic radar conceals the locations of radar transmitters and receivers by using RF reflections from commercial broadcast and communications signals.
LADDIS focuses on diamond semiconductors substrates with diameters larger than 50 millimeters with good electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties.
Inflation isn't the only thing eating away at the 2024 DOD budget; consider the ever-more-expensive Ukraine war, which has no end in sight.
Solicitation is to design, build, demonstrate, and support three prototype Sabre satellite sensor and communications payloads for NEXT satellites.
EW CONTRACTS
Raytheon is working with Kongsberg on the missile to equip the littoral combat ship and FFG(X) future frigate with stand-off weapons capability.
Program will solve problems of rapid modernization by sustaining system hardware, software, engineering, and obsolescence early in the design cycle.
SEWIP upgrades the existing AN/SLQ-32(V) surface warship EW system and provide improved anti-ship missile defense and situational awareness.
ALQ-211 detects, denies, disrupts, degrades, and evades guided missiles, and provides situational awareness of RF, infrared, and laser weapons sensors.
EW PRODUCTS
The Orion Heavy Lift can carry payloads of nearly nine pounds at 300 feet, and 11 pounds at 164 feet height, for flight durations of 50 hours.
The Raytheon AN/SPY-6(V) AMDR will improve the Burke-class destroyer's ability to detect hostile aircraft, surface ships, and ballistic missiles.
Bandwidth, speed, and agility of AESA radars enable legacy fighter aircraft to detect, track, and identify many targets quickly and at long ranges.
CloakCom uses a specialized, stochastic, and keyless algorithm designed to remove waveform features without degrading the bandwidth.
