Navy continues buying radar-spoofing electronic warfare (EW) equipment from Mercury Systems
U.S. Navy airborne electronic warfare (EW) experts are continuing their support of radar-spoofing electronic warfare (EW)technology from Mercury Systems Inc. that can fool enemy radar systems with false and deceptively moving targets.
Officials of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division in Lakehurst, N.J., announced an $8.6 million contract Monday to the Mercury Defense Systems (MDS) subsidiary of Mercury Systems Inc. in Cypress, Calif., for 18 additional Type II Advanced Digital Radio Frequency Memories (DRFM) units.
The Navy ordered 28 DRFM units from Mercury in an April 2016 contract for $15.4 million, and ordered 14 Mercury DRFM units in a June 2015 contract for $7.6 million. Previous to that, Mercury won a $2.6 million DRFM order in October 2014, and a $1.5 million Navy order for this technology in June 2014.
