In December, Mercury was awarded a development contract extension in support of a large strategic weapons program that leverages the company’s expertise in strategic radiation-hardened data and signal processing. Initially awarded in 2023, Mercury’s development work on the program will now continue through 2031 and include the delivery of additional flight-testing units.
