Parsons Defense and Intelligence president Paul Decker said: “As near-peer threats continue to evolve, it’s imperative that our forces are equipped to respond to increasingly complex adversary tactics across the air and space domains.

“Parsons brings a distinct portfolio of agile systems-of-systems engineering, software development, and advanced weapon system modelling and simulation capabilities that are combat-proven and ready to support the USAF in its ongoing mission to develop and sustain the nation’s elite fighting force of the future.”

The company has been providing various all-domain services such as mission planning, network operations, edge computing, and space-domain awareness operations, among others, for the Department of Air Force for the past several decades. 

In 2020, a team of industry partners led by Parsons was chosen to provide equipment and services to protect USAF air bases under a $953m IDIQ award.
