Industry-First Safe, SOSA-Aligned Mission Computer

­Mercury Systems, Inc. announced the new Avionics Modular Mission Platform (AMMP), the industry’s first and only SOSA aligned, DAL-certifiable, 3U OpenVPX™ mission computer. Featuring the latest Intel Core i7 safety-certifiable processors, AMMP delivers up to 40x more performance than current-generation avionics computers while drawing 50% less power and is ideally suited to a wide range of platforms including rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft, ground stations and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Why It Matters:
By leveraging AI and autonomous capabilities, Mercury’s modular scalable mission computer improves decision accuracy and response times for pilots, making the pilots and their aircraft safer and more capable.

Mercury’s AMMP is purpose-built to support advanced and real-time safety-critical applications such as mission management, sensor fusion/processing, surveillance, 5G communications and artificial intelligence. The computer comes integrated with Mercury’s BuiltSAFE™ commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) multi-core single board computers, avionics IO, video processing and software to deliver flawless performance. while simplifying integration and the certification process, saving customers valuable time and money.

Built with open architectures and the latest safety-certifiable commercial technology

• SOSA aligned architecture for faster integration and sustainment at a lower cost
• Multiple Intel Core i7 Gen 11 processors with integrated GPUs for increased performance
• A range of avionics I/O including ARINC-429 to capture and distribute HD video
• Fully configurable, independent 3U boards to run multiple, mixed safety workloads
• Rugged, compact, and low power design to reduce risk and save aircraft resources
• Green Hills, Lynx and Linux board support packages to achieve FAA CAST-32A objectives

Mercury can also integrate a display, mapping system, cockpit management system and sensors with AMMP to maximize interoperability, optimize display performance and save customer integration time.
