April 18, 2018
Mercury Systems has received a $5.7 million follow-on order from a prime military contractor for its secure memory devices, for use in an AESA radar platform.

Mercury Systems has received a $5.7 million follow-on order from a leading defense prime contractor for its high-speed memory devices based on BuiltSECURE technology. The memory devices will be integrated into an advanced electronically scanned array (AESA) radar system for a tactical airborne platform. The BuiltSECURE system-in-package (SiP) devices integrating processors, memory, sensors, and the industry’s most advanced security architectures. The devices will be designed and manufactured in Mercury’s Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA)-accredited facility in Phoenix, Ariz.

“This order further validates Mercury’s leadership role in the design and manufacturing of trusted microelectronics for military programs critical to our national defense infrastructure,” said Iain Mackie, vice president and general manager of Mercury’s Microelectronics Secure Solutions group. “Our Advanced Microelectronics Centers are designed to provide long-term supply continuity of state-of-the-art digital microelectronics of the highest quality without sacrificing affordability.”
