On January 22, Parsons Corporation announced that the company has entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center in support of Project Linchpin, the Army’s emerging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) Program.
Under the CRADA, Parsons will examine diverse datasets, models, and deployment scenarios to determine the optimal metrics, specifications, and governance for AI/ML operational use cases provided by the Project Linchpin Program. The company will also collaboratively research with C5ISR and Project Linchpin, deployment and model monitoring standards to support streamlined ML operations across the Army community, fostering a mature and repeatable process to integrate AI/ML effectively into Army Systems of Record.
“Parsons is a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence integration and operational hardening across the national security enterprise,” said Ryan Gabriele, senior vice president and chief technology officer for Parsons’ defense and intelligence market. “We bring technology innovation and a deep history of AI/ML implementation across warfighting functions, including Project Maven, which began in 2017. This cooperative agreement further enhances our growing portfolio in the rapidly maturing Department of Defense AI/ML community, and directly supports the Army’s Modernization Strategy.”
Project Linchpin (PL), led by the Army’s Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Sensors (PEO IEW&S), is a program that aims to deliver trusted Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities across the Army enterprise. Through innovation within its Artificial Intelligence Operations and Services (AIOps+) ecosystem, PL provides a strategic framework that leverages partnerships, innovative acquisition processes, standardization, security, and regulatory compliance to ensure the effective and trustworthy integration of AI technologies.
