What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
Mercury Computer Systems delivers radar processing subsystem to support dismount detection
Mercury Computer Systems, Inc., a trusted ISR subsystems provider, announced that it is delivering embedded computing subsystems to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) for use within the Lynx Block 25 Dual Beam radar. The Dual Beam radar recently demonstrated dismount detection capability during flight tests using a Predator-class unmanned aircraft. During the flight tests, the Dual Beam radar was specifically evaluated for dismount (personnel walking or running) detection performance over its full field-of-regard.
"We are happy to be able to contribute to the continued success of our long time customer, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems," said Brian Hoerl, vice president of sales at Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. "Our subsystems support multiple generations of Lynx radars. We've delivered the performance improvements needed for new capabilities while supporting software portability across the generations."
Mercury supplied subsystems with faster processing components and enhanced memory to support the enhanced radar performance. Mercury consultants also assisted with the development and optimization of algorithms for Space Time Adaptive Processing (STAP), a critical function within the Dual Beam radar.
