$10 Million Award for Airborne Radio Modernisation Programme

Mercury Systems, Inc., has received a $10 million contract to provide an innovative pilot controller interface for a leading prime contractor’s airborne radio modernisation programme.

The radio system, built specifically for missions that depend on beyond line-of-sight range, requires the space-efficient, affordable and modular communications connection that Mercury’s processing solution provides. Delivery is anticipated to take place over the next several years.

As more and more data require processing and management, simplifying the communications control interface helps aircrews make mission-critical decisions more quickly and with confidence. “Our customer depends on Mercury to help them solve their most safety-critical processing challenges,” explained Jay Abendroth, VP, Mercury Mission. “In delivering a communications management solution that is space efficient, reliable and upgradeable, we are proud to play a role in supporting our customer’s desire to ensure pilot and mission safety.”
