The $28m contract requires the company to provide digital signal processing subsystems for a ground-based, ballistic missile defence radar processing application.

Mercury’s signal processing technology is expected to provide lower ownership costs for the customer’s critical airborne programme.

In January, the company was contracted to support an airborne sensor processing application for fighter aircraft.

Under the purchase order, the company will provide the military with advanced programmes using the latest commercial technology.

The company’s solutions power a range of critical defence and intelligence applications for more than 300 programmes, including Aegis, Patriot, SEWIP, F-35 and Gorgon Stare.
