These daughter cards are necessary for proper operation for the AN/SSQ-137 SSEE INC E Program; to deviate from the approved configuration, or item description would adversely affect the standard configuration and require extensive software and / or hardware installation changes not feasible with existing O&M, N funding provided for system sustainment.

In order to ensure that the Motherboards are returned to their factory operation, only the OEM can repair the units to their original condition. If any other company was to complete the repairs, it would create the risk that they would not restore them to the correct condition in order to be compatible with The Ship System Exploitation Equipment, (SSEE) An/SSQ-137 system since they do not have the propriety rights that Mercury Systems possess. If the government was not to use the OEM, it would cause the government lost time and additional costs when other companies are unable to repair the Motherboards.
