Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRCY), a leading provider of embedded, high-performance computing solutions for image, sensor, and signal processing applications, announced availability of upgrades to the RACE++® Series PowerPC® 7448 Multicomputer.

Mercury continues to enhance the award-winning RACE++ Series product line with the latest processor and memory technologies, extending the product life cycle well into the future. The RACE++ Series PowerPC Multicomputer upgrades offer faster clock speeds and larger memory options, resulting in accelerated application performance of up to 30 to 50 percent over previous RACE++ Series products. Mercury also now offers the RACE++ Series PowerPC 7448 Multicomputer for use in rugged air-cooled and conduction-cooled environments such as those found in manned aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). By maintaining commonality with previous RACE++ Series PowerPC products, Mercury provides customers with an easy, low-cost migration path without the need for software application changes.

“We have many customers upgrading their existing radar and SIGINT (signals intelligence) systems with new modes of operation and functionality,” said Steve Patterson, Vice President, Product Line Management at Mercury Computer Systems. “Mercury’s RACE++ Series upgrades provide performance migration, allowing customers to offer their end users new capabilities for deployed systems with a minimal investment.”

With current economic pressures, the life cycle of electronic subsystems in many defense programs are being extended to reduce cost. Customers are finding that deployed radar and SIGINT systems on manned aircraft or UAVs cost millions of dollars to validate and certify. With the RACE++ Series PowerPC 7448 Multicomputer, customers report a 30 to 50 percent increase in application performance without an increase in overall system power. Moreover, they now have an easy upgrade path which can also minimize the re-certification cost. Mercury continually provides investment protection and ensures future performance and software migration for its worldwide base of RACE++ Series customers. For example, the new OpenVPX(TM) product line offers software compatibility with the RACE++ Series product line while leveraging open standards.

In addition to the upgraded RACE++ Series products, Mercury offers solutions for high-end floating-point digital signal processing in all the major form factors, including VME, VXS, 3U OpenVPX, 6U OpenVPX, AdvancedTCA, and MicroTCA.

About Tech Awards Circle

Tech Awards Circle was established this year to truly honor the ‘best of the best’ in technology. Tech Awards Circle is not affiliated with an analyst firm or a media company, both of which are directly supported by tech vendors through consulting relationships or advertising sales, so it is uniquely unbiased and immune to conflicts of interest. Entries are judged by an independent circle of journalists, including product reviewers, each with at least a decade of experience covering technology from consumer electronics to enterprise-class computing. To prevent these judges from being unduly influenced by vendors, they have agreed to remain anonymous. For more information or to be added to the mailing list please visit www.techawardscircle.com.
