Mercury Systems and Nightwing Collaborate to Enhance Cybersecurity for Aerospace and Defense Systems

ANDOVER, Mass., Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY, www.mrcy.com), a global technology company that delivers mission-critical processing to the edge, and Nightwing, the cyber and national security solutions company defining the edge of possible to advance our nation’s interests, today announced an agreement to enhance the cyber resiliency of Mercury Systems hardware with Nightwing cyber resiliency technology.

Through this agreement, the companies will offer pre-integrated cybersecurity and anti-tamper solutions that enhance the integrity of applications for the entirety of their runtimes. This collaboration gives government customers an expertly curated set of security capabilities shaped by Nightwing’s experience spanning U.S. military and intelligence community missions.

“This agreement brings together Mercury’s trusted hardware technology portfolio with one of the nation’s foremost cybersecurity providers to better protect critical customer missions,” said Tom Smelker, Mercury’s Senior Vice President of Processing Technologies. “Collaboration between commercial suppliers increases delivered capability while reducing total cost of ownership.

“Mission-critical systems are more open and connected than ever before,” said Tim Zentz, Nightwing’s Vice President of Cyber Offense and Defense Experts (CODEX). “Cyberattacks can come from unexpected vectors—over the air, through compromised components in the supply chain, or even through infected maintenance equipment. The integration of our cyber resiliency technology with Mercury’s industry-leading hardware products and solutions will provide customers with greater security and faster, more efficient fielding of equipment.”
