CHELMSFORD, Mass. – April 28, 2011 – Mercury Computer Systems Inc., (NASDAQ: MRCY, www.mc.com), a trusted provider of commercially developed ISR subsystems, applauded the recent successful test of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System off the coast of Hawaii. The April 14 test marked the Aegis BMD system’s first engagement against an intermediate range ballistic missile, as well as the first time the system used a launch-on-remote capability, which allows the Aegis BMD system – built by Lockheed Martin – to employ remote sensors to detect threats as early in flight as possible.

According to the vice president of maritime ballistic missile defense programs, the team Lockheed Martin leads has “…evolved Aegis from an anti-ship missile system to the basis for the U.S. approach to global missile defense. With this test, Aegis BMD proves that it can expand the battlespace and destroy ballistic missile threats earlier in their trajectory than ever before.”

A long-time partner of Lockheed Martin, Mercury provides technology and systems for the Aegis Multi-Mission Signal Processor (MMSP) and Ballistic Missile Defense Signal Processor (BSP) – two critical components of the Aegis Weapon System. Mercury’s solutions will be integrated on both land and ship sites for the upgrade, which is a key component to provide ballistic missile defense capability to Aegis-equipped destroyers undergoing modernization beginning in 2012. Developed by Lockheed Martin, the Aegis Weapon System is the only operational sea-based radar and weapon system capable of simultaneous warfare against air, surface, subsurface and land targets.
