CHELMSFORD, Mass. – May 29, 2012 – Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY, www.mc.com), a trusted provider of commercially developed application-ready ISR and EW subsystems for defense prime contractors, congratulated Northrop Grumman on its recently announced $1.7 billion contract win with NATO for the NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) system.
