Collaborative COTS Examples

Mercury builds variations of standard products for key projects and programs, and then standardizes these product variations to give them life-long support.

	Adaptive Beamforming for Satellite Communications Our customer challenged Mercury to support a sophisticated, extremely high-bandwidth beamforming application with a standards-based compute platform. We met the challenge with an ATCA system that delivered unprecedented I/O capacity and high-density FPGA computing. View Customer Reference Story PDF
	Mercury and a Leading Defense Contractor Collaborate to Implement Reference Design Development Method for Their High-Performance Application Using an existing COTS board as a reference design, Mercury collaborated with this company to integrate FPGAs and PowerPCs on the same custom form-factor board, resulting in an affordable, best-value solution.

	COTS-Based Waveform-Ready™ Software to Support Defense Contract Mercury is the first to enable COTS-based waveform portability for wideband data links and SATCOM (WBDLS). Our Component Portability Infrastructure™ software, along with a full RF hardware system suite, has been designed into a large defense contractor program.
	Sustaining a UAV Program A large defense prime asked us to help them sustain an existing UAV program by replacing a SPARC™-based single-board computer (SBC) that is no longer available. We helped prevent a premature refresh and saved the prime substantial cost by providing the Momentum™ Series VLA-150 SBC.
