The Right Approach: The End of an Era—DoD Proposes MIL-PRF-31032 Cancellation
Parsons Corporation announced that nine of its digital solutions have been designated as "Awardable" across leading Department of War (DoW) digital marketplaces, accelerating government access to proven, mission-ready technologies.
For decades, Parsons has delivered innovative, rapid solutions to national security challenges that face the United States and its allies.
"Having nine Parsons solutions designated as 'Awardable' demonstrates the depth and maturity of our mission-ready defense product portfolio and reinforces our ability to deliver innovative capabilities that address our customers' most critical national security challenges,” said Aaron Wajsgras, vice president of product strategy & commercialization for Parsons. "This achievement validates the mission impact of our products while meeting the Department of War's mission requirements of faster and easier acquisition and deployment in support of critical national security priorities."
Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace
Six Parsons solutions are designated "Awardable" in the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, a Department of War marketplace designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of innovative commercial technologies through streamlined acquisition pathways. Parsons' awardable solutions on Tradewinds include Ground Operations Command as a Service (GOCaaS), OrbitXchange™, SPARTAN Antenna, DroneArmor™, C2Core® Air, and Assured Positioning System (APS™).
- GOCaaS is a cloud-native satellite operations platform that provides automated commanding, telemetry analysis, orbit determination, maneuver planning, mission data delivery, and constellation management for any satellite, in any orbit, and any constellation size.
- OrbitXchange™ is an automated, cloud-native, cybersecure satellite communications solution that leverages commercial antenna networks to provide flexible, scalable, automated, and operationally proven ground station access.
- SPARTAN Antenna is an advanced phased-array-fed parabolic antenna system that enables simultaneous satellite commanding, telemetry, and mission data collection for up to eight spacecraft simultaneously through electronically steerable beams.
- DroneArmor™ is a fully automated counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) command-and-control platform that integrates sensors, effectors, and AI-enabled software to provide real-time drone threat detection, tracking, and response capabilities.
- C2Core® Air is a cloud-native command and control solution that enables end-to-end air operations planning, tasking, execution monitoring, and combat assessment within a distributed operating environment. Using the Strategy through Assessment workflow developed for C2Core, C2Core Air provides seamless integration of strategic, operational, and tactical levels of planning and mission management.
- APS™ provides resilient positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) information when GPS or other global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are jammed, spoofed, or otherwise unavailable or unreliable. APS uses proprietary satellite-based hybrid technology to produce reliable PNT data from non-GPS/non-GNSS RF transmissions from commercial and non-commercial communications satellites, including low-Earth orbit (LEO) vehicles. With APS, critical terrestrial and airborne applications that rely on PNT can continue to operate and execute their missions when GPS is undependable or unavailable.
The inclusion of these products in the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace makes it easier for defense customers to rapidly identify, evaluate, and acquire trusted technologies that address evolving mission requirements.
Platform One Solutions Marketplace
Three Parsons solutions are designated "Awardable" in the Platform One Solutions Marketplace, one of DoW’s premier technology environments for discovering, evaluating, and rapidly acquiring vetted software capabilities. Sponsored by the U.S. Air Force, Platform One features post-competition solutions that enable organizations to identify and field mission-ready technologies. Parsons' awardable solutions on Platform One include its Modern Extract, Transform, and Load (METAL) software application development approach, Support Velocity Helpdesk Automation solution, and TReX signal and channel emulation solution.
- METAL is a modern application development approach designed to handle large and complex data workloads, integrate diverse data sources, and provide resilient, scalable architectures using containerization, microservices, and Kubernetes.
- Support Velocity is an information technology service management (ITSM) solution that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to categorize help desk tickets, reducing technician workload and improving resolution times.
- TReX is a software- and commercial off-the-shelf hardware-based signal and channel emulation solution that enables realistic electronic warfare testing, evaluation, and warfighter training using representative signals of interest.
The availability of these products on the Platform One Solutions Marketplace enables defense customers to rapidly identify, evaluate, and acquire mission-ready software and technology solutions.
