Mercury To Develop Data Processing Subsystem for U.S. Satellite Program
January 21 2025 - 6:00AM
Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY, www.mrcy.com), a technology
company that delivers mission-critical processing power to the
edge, today announced it was awarded a $24.5 million contract to
develop a data processing and storage subsystem for a U.S. Defense
Department satellite program.
Under a contract with an innovative space systems
prime contractor, Mercury will deliver a number of these subsystems
that leverage its commercial products and deep expertise in data
recording, data processing, and subsystem integration for defense
applications. The solution features Mercury’s SCFE6933 processing
board that employs AMD Versal™ AI Core series FPGAs and the
company’s new RH304T solid-state data recorder, a
radiation-tolerant 3U device with 4.5 terabytes of capacity.
“We are proud to support this critical U.S.
national security mission,” said Joe Plunkett, Vice President of
Mercury’s Advanced Concepts Group, which was formed to drive
innovative, next-generation technology solutions for customers.
“The Mercury Processing Platform has an incredible breadth of
capabilities that can be integrated in virtually limitless ways to
enable mission-critical processing at the edge.”
“Mercury was chosen to develop this subsystem
because of our unique model and approach to innovation, where
commercial products can be leveraged to create new and valuable
solutions,” said Roger Wells, Mercury’s Chief Operating Officer.
“This success is owed in no small part to the more integrated
organizational structure we put in place last year, which has
unlocked Mercury’s potential and will fuel our growth in the years
ahead.”
