Mercury selected for Greek air force airborne radar programmeMolndal 14 Mar 00 The ERIEYE system detects, tracks and manages airborne, surface and low-flying targets within air-to-air and air-to-sea scenarios in all weather conditions. It is designed for installation on small business aircraft and has been sold to the Swedish Air Force and is in production for Brazil's SIVAM project for surveillance of the Amazon rain forests. Ericsson is marketing the ERIEYE system to other allied countries. "This first contract with a customer from a NATO country is a major breakthrough for Ericsson's ERIEYE system," said Andy Pine, managing director of Mercury Computer Systems, Ltd. of the U.K. "Two export successes of ERIEYE within two years confirm the acceptance of this new generation system. We are pleased to be working with Ericsson Microwave to provide one of the most modern and highly available AEW&C systems in operational service." "ERIEYE's acceptance by the Greek Air Force is a strong indicator of both the power and economy of this airborne defensive tracking system," said Lennart Joelsson, General Manager of Ericsson Microwave Systems. "Mercury's state-of-the-art products were selected after extensive evaluations of several alternatives, and their technical expertise for this program is unsurpassed."
