Consortia and OTAs

Accelerating the delivery of innovation and emerging technology

To continuously improve and expand collaboration across the A&D industry, Mercury is a member of numerous consortia under other transaction authorities (OTAs). It is through these associations that we can work more efficiently to help you contract critical defense products and applications that meet your needs.
