Parsons secures AFRL GARDEM-2 task order

On June 1, Parsons Corporation announced that the company was awarded a $99 million single-award task order to provide research, development, engineering, prototyping, integration, testing, and demonstration of technologies in support of Global Application Research, Development, Engineering and Maintenance 2 (GARDEM 2) Command and Control, Space and Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (C2-SpISR) software baselines. The award from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) includes a five-year plus two-month performance period and expands Parsons’ leadership in delivering advanced software solutions across the all-domain battlespace.

The task order, awarded under the ALLIANT 2 multiple award schedule, is a follow-on to the current GARDEM contract. Under the task order, Parsons will continue to develop, integrate, test, demonstrate, and sustain innovative C2SpISR technologies like the company’s C2Core Air, C2Core NetOps, National Tactical Data Manager, and Integrated Solutions to Situational Awareness. These capabilities enhance AFRL’s ability to deliver next-generation software baselines and prototypes that support the U.S. Air Force, the Department of War, the Intelligence Community, and other federal agency end users.  This award continues support for the C2Core Air capability developed by AFRL and Parsons, with deployments across all Air Operations Centers (AOCs), for the next five years.

“Parsons advances the U.S. Air Force mission by integrating technologies, transforming data, and delivering modernized C2 and space‑based ISR capabilities with speed and precision,” said Mike Kushin, president, defense and intelligence for Parsons. “As threats evolve, maintaining ISR dominance demands continuous innovation and modernization. That’s the work our team leads, and we are proud to expand our long‑standing support to the Air Force Research Laboratory, strengthening their efforts to deliver the next generation of warfighting technologies.”
