Mercury Systems (MRCY) said late Monday it has won a two-year, $17 million development contract from an unnamed US defense prime contractor.

The deal calls on Mercury to update the processing capabilities supplied to the contractor by another company, making use of its common processing architecture, it said.

Mercury said it will also use its BuiltSECURE technology during the project, which enables the company to export the completed systems to allied nations to support their forward-deployed operations.
