“This long-standing customer knows it can rely on Mercury to provide the technology needed to migrate an existing radar system from a closed, proprietary design to an open system with built-in application portability,” said Didier Thibaud, senior vice president and general manager of Mercury Computer Systems’ Advanced Computing Solutions business unit.
Mercury will deliver innovative open architecture-based processing modules designed to solve highly challenging computing problems and meet strict requirements for aggressive cost targets including board-level processing density and a low board count per system metric. The modules leverage Mercury’s standards-based building blocks and include a VITA 41-compliant switch board that provides full inter-board serial RapidIO and Gigabit Ethernet connections in a VXS system, and a unit that combines high-performance Power Architecture™ processing technology with balanced I/O from dual PMC/XMC sites and the scalable serial RapidIO® interconnect.
