Delivery of the new RF transceivers will help support the navy’s AN/ZLQ-1 V2 Common Chassis for the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft (MPRA), Persistent Maritime Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PMUAS), and Submarine Sensor Systems programmes.
Under the delivery order, the US Navy intends to purchase four, five and eight-channel radio frequency (RF) transceivers and 16×12 fully non-blocking RF Switch Matrices for systems deployed on submarines, manned aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Azure Summit Technology chief executive officer Dr Thomas Green said: “Azure’s Switchblade transceivers provide modular, open-architecture, cutting-edge RF performance with substantial reductions in cost and size, weight and power (SWaP) compared with alternative approaches.
“This delivery order further illustrates the increasing importance of Switchblade-based solutions in enabling critical mission capabilities for a growing list of US Navy platforms.”
