Mercury Wins New Development Program That Leverages Its Common Processing Architecture

Mercury Systems, Inc, a technology company that delivers mission-critical processing power to the edge, announced it was awarded a two-year, $17 million development contract from a U.S. defense prime contractor for a program that leverages its Common Processing Architecture.

For this follow-on program, Mercury will replace and upgrade the existing processing capabilities provided by another firm with the enhanced performance and security that its Common Processing Architecture delivers. With additional protection features including Mercury’s BuiltSECURE™ technology, the system will be eligible for export to allied nations to support forward-deployed operations.

The award follows a separate $49 million production agreement received in the first quarter that reflects the company’s progress in returning to full-rate production in its Common Processing Architecture product area.

“These awards and others demonstrate the strong demand for secure, high-performance processing solutions at the edge, as well as our customers’ confidence in our ability to deliver these capabilities at the necessary speed and scale,” said Tom Smelker, Mercury’s Senior Vice President of Processing Technologies.
