ANDOVER, Mass., Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY, www.mrcy.com), a technology company that delivers mission-critical processing power to the edge, announced today that it signed a contract with Boeing to deliver FPGA processor boards that will support an upgraded refueling system on the U.S. Air Force’s KC-46A tanker aircraft fleet.
Mercury’s SCFE3920 boards are an integral part of the next-generation KC-46A Remote Vision System (RVS) 2.0. Designed for high-speed data processing and seamless system integration, Mercury’s boards will connect directly to cameras on the plane to process the high-resolution, color video feeds that provide KC-46A operators with a clear and precise view of the refueling process.
Mercury has already delivered hundreds of boards for the upgraded KC-46A refueling system to support development testing. Under the new contract, Mercury will deliver to Boeing approximately 1,500 production boards that will support equipping RVS 2.0 on KC-46 aircraft for the United States and allied nations.
“We are extremely proud of our legacy of support for the U.S. Air Force aircraft fleet,” said Ken Hermanny, Mercury’s Vice President of Signal Technologies. “Advanced technology from the Mercury Processing Platform will significantly advance the capability of KC-46A aerial refueling operations.”
