PAR receives cyber R&D contract
PAR Government Systems, a PAR Technology subsidiary, has been awarded a three-year, six-month $3.4 million cyber research and development contract by the US Air Force (USAF), the company announced on 1 March.
The contract, which falls under the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL's) Integrated Information Management System Cyber Technology Maturation framework, will see PAR Government develop and sustain a cyber-systems testbed to employ, test, evaluate and transition new cyber defence operating concepts and AFRL Information Directorate-developed cyber technology and products.
The work will be performed by PAR Government’s Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance sector.
Matt Cicchinelli, president, PAR Government Systems, said: ‘We are pleased that the air force has chosen PAR Government to support their software engineering, testing and evaluation needs. PAR Government will draw upon our staff’s in-depth experience and reputation in integrated information management and assurance to assist AFRL with their mission. We look forward to our continuing and expanding partnership with the AFRL in support of this important programme.’
