Mercury Systems

Mercury Systems is the leader in making trusted, secure mission-critical technologies profoundly more accessible to the aerospace and defense industries.  Optimized for customer and mission success, our innovative solutions power more than 300 critical aerospace and defense programs.
Key programs include Aegis, Patriot, Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program ("SEWIP"), Gorgon Stare, Predator, F-35 and Reaper.
Headquartered in Andover, MA, and with manufacturing and design facilities around the world, Mercury specializes in engineering, adapting and manufacturing new solutions purpose-built to meet the industry’s current and emerging high-tech needs. Our employees are committed to Innovation That Matters®.
We are at the intersection of high-tech and aerospace/defense and therefore have the responsibility to lead from the front. We achieve this with an innovative business model that combines the power and speed of an R&D-centric high-tech company with the trust and security of an aerospace and defense-focused business.

Sensor Signal Processing

Mercury is known for embedded computing, pioneering open system architecture (OSA) standards including OpenVPX and creating real-time fabrics including serial RapidIO.
Mercury champion OSAs that support customers’ need for affordability and interoperability while infusing innovation into every compute element we build. Our portfolio of embedded VME, OpenVPX and AdvancedTCA building blocks for integration into pre-tuned processing subsystems are ideally suitable for embedded industrial, aviation and defense applications.
Mercury ruggedly package the latest CPU, GPU and FPGA processors and keep them cool with the best technologies in the industry. Our miniaturizing wafer-stacking and system-in-package fabrication techniques drive the greatest SWaP performance and memory densities. Many of our embedded sensor processing solutions support built-in MOTS+ and BuiltSECURE technologies for extreme ruggedness and nation-state-level security features. Mercury embedded sensor processing solutions are designed, made, coded and supported in the USA from trusted DMEA facilities.
