ANDOVER, Mass., May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY, www.mrcy.com), a global leader in aerospace and defense electronics, today announced it received a multi-year contract to deliver 1,000 of its RTBX06 BuiltSECURE™ servers to Blue Raven, a leading distributor in the defense industry.
Leveraging Mercury’s Common Processing Architecture, Rugged Trusted BuiltSECURE™ (RTB) servers provide uncompromised security for processing at the edge, maintaining system-wide integrity and protecting critical data and technology from loss or compromise. Featuring U.S.-designed and manufactured motherboards, the latest data center-class compute silicon, and secure processing technology, these secure servers are the platform of choice for mission-critical applications.

This contract award represents Mercury’s largest single order for these systems and a key step toward expanding availability and reducing lead times for customers. Under the contract, Mercury will produce, configure, and support the servers, while Blue Raven will focus on global resale and distribution.
"This contract is further evidence of strong demand for our BuiltSECURE™ product line and the advanced secure processing capabilities it brings to critical defense systems," said Lee Provost, Mercury’s Senior Vice President of Growth. "By partnering with Blue Raven, we are making it easier, more affordable, and faster for customers to field this mission-critical capability that supports deterrence and delivers decisive warfighting advantage.”
