Mercury RACE platform facilitates research by Oklahoma State UniversityChelmsford 24 May 2001 Mercury Computer Systems donated a high-performance RACE multicomputer system to Oklahoma State University to assist with the school's advanced study of signals intelligence.
"Mercury's system will enable the students and faculty in the
School of Electrical and Computer Engineering to conduct sophisticated
and extensive research into signals intelligence," said Dr. Keith
Teague, Associate Professor at Oklahoma State University's College of
Engineering, Architecture and Technology. "Mercury's powerful systems
are widely used in defence electronics, and notably in leading-edge
applications for signals intelligence. The familiarisation our
students receive with Mercury's products, combined with the extensive
foundation and training they receive in digital signal processing,
will equip them with a unique career advantage in the marketplace."
Oklahoma State University is conducting signals-intelligence
research in conjunction with Raytheon Aircraft Integration Systems
(AIS), which specializes in the development and integration of complex
electronic systems for airborne intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance missions. With the aid of Mercury's real-time image and
signal processing systems, Raytheon AIS and the university will
explore advanced modulation signal recognition and classification,
spatial audio separation, direction finding and other special
projects. "Oklahoma State University has a world-class faculty and
facilities, and Raytheon AIS is an industry leader in signals
intelligence," said Vince Mancuso, vice president and general manager
of Mercury's Government Electronics Group. "There is a shortage of
qualified and skilled engineers, particularly in the defense
electronics industry. Mercury is pleased to contribute this investment
in the advanced education of tomorrow's technical leaders."
