FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mercury Computer Systems Reports Third Quarter Revenues of

$44.5 Million

GAAP Losses per Share of $0.67

Non-GAAP Losses per Share of $0.36

CHELMSFORD, Mass. — April 27, 2006 — Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY), reported results for its third quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Third quarter revenues were $44.5 million, a decrease of 30.9% from the prior year’s third quarter. Cash flows from operating activities were $5.4 million in the third quarter. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balance for the third quarter was $168.1 million.

Third quarter GAAP operating losses were $24.1 million. Third quarter GAAP net losses were $14.1 million. GAAP diluted losses per share were $0.67 for the third quarter. GAAP net losses include $12.6 million in charges, consisting of $3.2 million in stock-based compensation costs, $2.2 million in amortization of acquired intangible assets, a $5.3 million inventory writedown, and $1.9 million in restructuring costs. Excluding the impact of these charges, third quarter non-GAAP operating losses were $11.5 million. Third quarter non-GAAP net losses were $7.5 million. Non-GAAP losses per share were $0.36 for the third quarter.

“Our disappointing Q3 performance represents the first quarterly loss in 15 years at Mercury,” said Jay Bertelli, president and chief executive officer of Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. “The Q3 focus on cost reductions must now shift to growing our revenues by aggressively pursuing our strategies. The increase in our backlog, which is mostly defense-related, is encouraging. However, the uncertainties associated with program cuts and funding delays cause us to be cautious in projecting the turn.”

Mercury Computer Systems Reports Third Quarter Revenues of $44.5 Million                                                      Page 3

The Company currently expects fourth quarter fiscal 2006 GAAP losses per share to be in the range of a loss of $0.09 to breakeven. Excluding the impact of stock-based compensation costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs, fourth quarter fiscal year 2006 non-GAAP earnings per share are currently expected to be in the range of $0.04 to $0.16.

We are currently anticipating revenues in the range of $235 million to $240 million for the 2006 fiscal year. On our January 26, 2006 earnings call, the Company estimated an annual revenue range for the 2006 fiscal year of $250 to $260 million. The revision is based primarily on several large defense programs experiencing timing delays, and slower market adoption of the new 3D products in Life Sciences.

Based on anticipated revenues, the Company currently expects 2006 fiscal year GAAP losses per share to be in the range of a loss of $0.56 to a loss of $0.47. Excluding the impact of stock-based compensation costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, in-process research and development charges, restructuring charges, and the inventory writedown, fiscal year 2006 non-GAAP earnings per share are currently expected to be in the range of $0.15 to $0.27.

Recent Highlights

In February, Mercury announced availability of its training services for programming the Cell Broadband Engine (BE) processor. The interactive sessions enable software developers to build and migrate compute-intensive applications to Cell Technology, using open source and Mercury software tools, and in-depth, hands-on programming exercises tailored to a participant’s skill level.

Mercury and the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) were selected by Advanced Imaging Magazine for its 2006 Imaging Solutions of the Year Award. Announced in February, the award recognizes the collaborative solution Mercury and MGH developed for Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT). DBT is a technique that enables the reconstruction of a 3D-volume from a series of 2D projection images, enabling physicians to find cancers earlier and more easily. Mercury reduced reconstruction time from five hours to five minutes, making the DBT technique clinically viable. It is now in clinical trials at multiple sites with a major medical OEM.

(1) Under GAAP, when calculating diluted earnings per share, convertible debt must be assumed to have converted if the effect on EPS would be dilutive. For Mercury, dilution occurs when net income is $2.3 million per quarter, or $3.0 million per quarter on a non-GAAP basis. Accordingly, for net income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, diluted shares exclude the conversion of the convertible debt as the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2005, diluted shares assume the conversion of the convertible debt as the effect would be dilutive. Accordingly, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2005, 4.1 million shares have been included in diluted shares and $0.6 million and $1.8 million of net interest expense and deferred financing costs have been added back to net income for the diluted earnings per share calculation. On a non-GAAP basis for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, diluted shares exclude the conversion of the convertible debt as the effect would be anti-dilutive. On a non-GAAP basis for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2005 diluted shares assume the conversion of the convertible debt as the effect would be dilutive. Accordingly, on a non-GAAP basis, 4.1 million shares have been included in diluted shares and $0.6 and $1.8 million of net interest expense and deferred financing costs have been added back to net income for the diluted earnings per share calculation.
