Mercury Systems has received a follow-on order from a leading defense prime contractor for custom secure solid-state drives for an airborne mission management application. The order, which is valued at $3.9 million, was booked in the company’s fiscal 2018 second quarter and is expected to be shipped over the next several quarters.
Mercury’s self-encrypting storage devices are designed and built at its Advanced Microelectronics Center in Phoenix, Ariz. The secure memory devices leverage the technology of the company’s ARMOR cryptographic engine, which uses advanced algorithms to achieve high-level security. The firm’s portfolio of secure data devices support a wide range of industry requirements and incorporate self-destruct capabilities in the most sophisticated memory storage devices.
