Powering the Most Advanced Radar Systems

Mercury makes advanced technologies profoundly more accessible to radar applications

As radar systems become more capable and more complex, demands on RF and processing hardware are increasing. Next-generation radar systems leverage high-frequency RF hardware and AI-enabled processing to extract real-time information from large volumes of streaming sensor data. Our advanced technology allows the radar to accurately track multiple targets while minimizing the effects of enemy jamming.

CHALLENGE

Deliver high-performance computing to the radar aperture

SOLUTION

Leverage a new breed of powerful RF and digital edge-processing solutions. By investing in modular open standards, ruggedized custom microelectronics, advanced security, and solutions spanning from digital to microwave, we employ technology that drives a new generation of radar systems. To bring this performance directly to the sensor edge, our proven solutions are purpose-built to survive in extreme environments.

Enabling Multifunction AESA Radars

As threats evolve and become more sophisticated, the need for adaptive and responsive radar systems is growing.  By bringing the latest in processing technology directly to the sensor aperture, an active electronically scanned array (AESA) can quickly transition between radar, electronic warfare, and communication functions. Our 2.5D system-in-package technology is redefining edge processing to enable applications such as AESA.
