Mercury Systems, a technology company offering processing power to edge computing, has booked a $24.5 million contract for a data processing and storage subsystem for the satellite program of the Department of Defense.
The Andover, Massachusetts-based company said Tuesday it will provide numerous advanced subsystems under a contract with an innovative space systems prime contractor. Mercury will utilize its commercial offerings and knowledge of data handling, including recording, processing and subsystem integration for defense applications. The company will use its SCFE6933 processing board, which features AMD Versal AI Core series FPGAs and an RH304T solid-state data recorder, a 3U device with 4.5 terabytes of capacity.
Joe Plunkett, vice president of Mercury’s Advanced Concepts Group, stated, “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 Chief Operating Officer Roger Wells added, “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. 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.”
