Mercury Systems Quadruples Embedded Server System Memory for Artificial Intelligence And Next-Generation Battle Management

ANDOVER, Mass., June 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRCY) (www.mrcy.com) today announced the expansion of their secure command, control and intelligence (C2I) and artificial intelligence (AI) processing solutions with configurations that feature up to four times as much system memory as previous generations. Modern defense systems are using UAVs and other smart platforms to gather increasing amounts of ISR data. Processing can now be performed on-platform, at the tactical edge to form real-time battlespace situational awareness interfaces that are powered by evolved artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms.

Mercury's EnterpriseSeries™ HDS9624 secure rack servers with BuiltSECURE technologies address the need for affordable servers with system security features.

Mercury’s rugged, pre-engineered processing building blocks are available as 3U and 6U OpenVPX^™ and AdvancedTCA^® EnsembleSeries^™ processing blades and rugged EnterpriseSeries^™ rackmount ATX servers. These processing nodes feature the unrestricted performance of the latest Intel^® and NVIDIA^® processing devices to deliver powerful, embedded on-platform processing capability. For system-wide integrity and deployment in the harshest environments, each processing solution may include proven BuiltSECURE^™ and modified off-the-shelf (MOTS) technologies.

Data center processing power, supported with the most memory and storage within the embedded industry, system-wide security and robust environmental protection make Mercury’s processing solutions ideal for C2I and AI applications. Mercury’s HDS6603 is the first OpenVPX module in the industry with the capacity to deliver 256GB of memory and Xeon^® E5 server class processors, and to be deployed in theater today.

“Our customers have an insatiable appetite for processing nodes with large core counts and massive shared memory required for C2I and AI processing applications which characteristically require about six times as much memory as a regular data center server and twice the storage,” said Joe Plunkett, Senior Director and General Manager for Mercury’s Sensor Processing solutions group. “Mercury is uniquely able to embed the most powerful CPUs and GPGPUs and equip them with the vast memory resources they need. We build in a holistic security framework and package them into low-SWaP standard processing form-factors, to deliver processing solutions for deployment nywhere.”

Mercury’s EnsembleSeries and EnterpriseSeries C2I/AI processing solutions are composed from the industry's most contemporary portfolio of interoperable building blocks and include the HDS6603 and LDS6527 TRL9 processing blades as well as the HDS9624 server. All are designed, manufactured and coded in the USA within DMEA certified facilities using devices from a DMSMS managed supply chain.
