Mercury Computer Systems is selected by Northrop Grumman for US Navy BAMS program
Mercury Computer Systems, Inc., a trusted ISR subsystems provider, announced it was selected by Northrop Grumman Corporation to deliver its scalable multicomputing products and services for the US Navy Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) Program.
Mercury will provide PowerStream 7000 multicomputers, the most powerful embedded computing platform in deployment, and a heterogeneous operating system for the BAMS UAS to enable the processing of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The BAMS UAS is designed to support a variety of all-weather maritime ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) missions.
"We're pleased to work with Northrop Grumman to provide persistent maritime ISR capability to warfighters," said Brian Hoerl, Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Mercury. "Mercury's PowerStream multicomputers, which are deployed on some of the world's largest radar platforms, combine the power of FPGA processors with massive I/O and real-time reconfiguration, delivering the performance density and reliability necessary for this vitally important application."
