BlueHalo awards Mercury Systems production agreement

Mercury Systems announced a production agreement with BlueHalo, the company transforming the future of global defense, to support the U.S. Space Force’s Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource, SCAR, program. Within the scope of the agreement, Mercury will provide a field-programmable gate array-based common signal acquisition and digital beamforming solution for BlueHalo’s BADGER system, a multi-band deployable ground communications system that simplifies mission operations through agile and re-configurable beamforming tiles. “We are proud to provide signal processing technology for the SCAR program that will allow the United States to maintain its strategic advantage in the space domain,” said Ken Hermanny, VP and GM of Signal Technologies at Mercury. “By leveraging commercial innovation from the Mercury Processing Platform, BlueHalo will deliver this game-changing capability at great speed and scale.”
