Mercury Systems, a US-based provider of mission-critical technologies for the aerospace and defense sectors, has won a contract worth $24 million to supply avionics systems from an undisclosed defense prime contractor.

The avionics systems, which are likely to be shipped over the next several quarters, will be used in a rotary wing platform for the vertical heavy lift market, said Mercury Systems.

The order was booked in the third quarter of Mercury Systems’ fiscal 2022.

Jay Abendroth — vice president of Mercury Systems mission business unit said: “This award further demonstrates the value Mercury provides to leading prime contractors as a trusted partner in delivering high-performance systems.

“As an independent domestic supplier of open mission systems, our commitment to R&D, innovative solutions and breadth of experience enables our customers to meet the challenges of today’s adversarial environments.”
