 underpinned by key differentiators that set us apart in the market: Mission-Ready; Trusted and Secure; Software-Defined; and Open and Modular.

•Mission-Ready: Fit for purpose to meet the demanding needs of our customers’ missions. Advanced thermal management and rugged packaging technology ensures optimal performance and reliable operation in the most challenging environments on Earth and beyond. We deliver extended reliability and dependability through thermal management, component selection, environmental protection and testing.

•Trusted and Secure: A trusted supply chain, with products designed and manufactured onshore. Advanced cryptography, secure boot and physical protection technologies like our BuiltSECURE technology can mitigate reverse engineering, deliver cyber resiliency and safeguard confidential data and IP against adversarial threats, even when a system has been compromised. We also design safety-certifiable BuiltSAFE processing systems up to the highest design assurance levels.

•Software-Defined: Software enabled hardware for future proofing, rapid scaling, ease of maintenance and affordability. Flexible hardware architectures that are reconfigurable and upgradeable with software to extend the life of our systems and the platforms they are deployed on. Our model-based systems engineering (“MBSE”) design approach aims to significantly decrease the time and cost involved in developing and deploying military and aerospace platforms.

•Open and Modular: “Plug and play”, upgradeable and scalable. A modular, open, systems architecture (“MOSA”) approach to system design maximizes technology reuse to dramatically reduce development time and cost. This open systems approach mitigates obsolescence risk while emphasizing commonality, interoperability and sustainability across platforms and domains. 

The Mercury Processing Platform is designed to meet the full range of requirements in compute-intensive, signal processing, image processing and command and control applications. To maintain a competitive advantage, we seek to leverage technology investments across multiple lines of business. Examples of hardware products include small, custom microelectronics, embedded sensor processing subsystems, RF and microwave components, modules and subsystems, rugged servers and avionics mission computers.

Our products are typically compute-intensive and require extremely high bandwidth and high throughput. These systems often must also meet significant size, weight and power (“SWaP”) constraints for use in aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs”), ships and other platforms and be ruggedized for use in harsh environments. They are primarily used in both commercial aerospace applications, such as communications and ground radar air traffic control, as well as advanced defense and intelligence applications, including space-time adaptive processing, synthetic aperture radar, airborne early warning
