Mercury Systems has unveiled what it claims is the "defense industry's highest capacity ruggedized memory device."

The secure memory device includes 8 gigabytes of double-data rate, third-generation synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3 SDRAM) in a military-hardened ball grid array package, according to a Mercury news release.

"Offering a 40% reduction in physical footprint over discrete components packages, this new offering is ideally suited for high-performance computing systems demanding SWaP [size, weight and power]-optimized memory with data transfer speeds up to 1600 [megabytes per second]," Mercury said.

"With the incorporation of additional sensor functionality, mission computing and sensor processing, subsystems are tasked with analyzing multiple streams of data simultaneously," Mercury said. "System performance is then constrained by a heavily taxed memory hierarchy, resulting in data transfers from high-speed memory to low-speed memory. Mercury's innovative technology unburdens the memory hierarchy by doubling the capacity of its high-speed dense memory devices from 4GB to 8GB."
