Mercury Computer Systems Wins Subcontract to Supply ITT Electronic Systems

Mercury Computer Systems Inc. MRCY confirmed that it has been awarded a subcontract by ITT Electronic Systems to deliver products and services for the JCREW 3.3 program. As recently announced by ITT Electronic Systems, the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command has exercised the third option of the JCREW 3.3 contract and has awarded ITT the development of this next generation counter-IED system, designed to detect, prevent, and neutralize IEDs, the single biggest threat faced by in-theatre forces today. IEDs, such as roadside bombs, are frequently employed in terrorist-based or unconventional warfare, and have been a primary cause of death in recent military activity, because they are very difficult to detect and destroy.
