Mercury Systems Secures Navy Funding to Expedite Electronic Warfare Systems Production
Mercury Systems is developing sensor processing technologies for the U.S. Navy to significantly reduce design timelines for radar and electronic warfare systems.
The project, funded by a $13.2 million contract, aims to create a more compact, next-generation radio frequency System-in-Package using commercially available chips, Mercury Systems said.
The initiative aligns with the Office of Naval Research’s Open Rapid Chipletized Approach program, which is designed to shorten the production process by creating chip-level components with enhanced modularity.
According to Adam Miller, an officer at the ONR, Mercury Systems is leading the way in advancing secure microelectronics integration and packaging capabilities with full lifecycle support certified by the Defense Microelectronics Activity.
For Tony Trinh, senior director of Mercury’s advanced packaging unit, the initiative is a major advancement of the company’s Mercury Processing Platform. Trinh noted that the ORCA approach will pave the way for faster development and deployment of critical radar and electronic warfare systems, ensuring mission readiness against modern threats.
