Mercury Systems to deliver sensor processing application to undisclosed customer

Mercury Systems has been awarded a contract by an undisclosed defence contractor for the delivery of sensor processing application.

Deliveries of products ordered under the $27m contract are anticipated to be delivered by the first quarter of 2016.

Mercury’s Commercial Electronics business unit president Didier Thibaud said: "Mercury’s outstanding working relationships with its customers, forged through years of close collaboration, continue to help drive the success of these strategic programmes and reaffirms our leadership in critical radar subsystems both on airborne and ground-based platforms.

"Our collaborative approach enables our customers to continue leveraging Mercury’s commercially developed open architecture-based signal processing technology to realise faster time to market and a lower total cost of ownership for their programmes."

The latest order follows a $39m order bagged during the company’s fiscal 2014 fourth quarter from a defence prime contractor for radar subsystems for application into missile defence.

Mercury is expected to carry out the delivery under the order over the upcoming quarters.

The US-based firm offers commercially developed, open sensor processing systems and services for integration into essential commercial, defence and intelligence applications.
