Radiation-hardened BAE Systems radios make their way to Lockheed Martin
Lockheed Martin has received its first shipment of BAE Systems-made RAD5545 radios for spacecraft.
The radiation-hardened and software-defined radios ‘provide spacecraft with the performance, availability, reliability and on-board signals processing capacity needed to support future space missions', including national security and surveillance applications, BAE Systems announced in a 1 July statement.
The radios can be easily modified to address various reconfigurable processing solutions,’ noted Ricardo Gonzalez, director of Space Systems at BAE Systems.
