A $1.5 million order announced on 16 June will see Mercury Systems’ subsidiary, Mercury Defense Systems, supply Digital RF Memory (DRFM) jammers to the US Navy. The order falls under the company’s existing IDIQ contract worth up to $56.7 million.

‘For more than 20 years, Mercury Defense Systems’ DRFM products have been used for self-protection, vulnerability assessment, training and radar environment simulation. Our successful performance under firm fixed price contracting is the cornerstone of our business.’
