Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Mercury Systems provides electronic support to naval prime contractor
Mercury Systems has received a $25 million follow-on contract from an unnamed prime contractor to integrate RF and digital subsystems for ‘advanced naval electronic support’, the company announced on 30 June.
The order, booked in Q4 of its fiscal year, will be shipped ‘over the next several quarters’, US-based Mercury Systems added.
Neal Austin, VP and general manager of the Embedded Sensor Processing group within Mercury Systems, said: ‘As new threats rapidly emerge across the electromagnetic spectrum, we support our customers with the agile, high-performance capabilities they need.’
As reported last year by Shephard, Mercury Systems is looking to position itself as an enabler for commercial electronics companies that had previously not considered putting solutions forward for US DoD programmes.
