Mercury Commercial Electronics business unit president Didier Thibaud said: "Mercury’s commercially-developed, modular open architecture-based secure and sensor processing subsystems provide our customers a clear upgrade path into the future.
"This allows the military to continue developing affordable advanced programmes with the assurance that as systems move toward deployment they will still be able to leverage the latest commercial technology."
Mercury’s signal processing technology is expected to realise faster time to market and a lower total cost of ownership for the customer’s critical airborne programme.
