CHANTILLY, Va., Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspecta Inc.
(NYSE: PRSP), announced today that its innovative applied research
arm, Perspecta Labs, has received an award on the modular radio
frequency (ModRF) program for the U.S. Army from the Consortium
Management Group, Inc., on behalf of the Consortium for Command,
Control and Communications in Cyberspace (C5). This award, which
represents follow-on work for the company, has a value of
$13 million.
The objective of the program is to provide an efficient, agile
and modular RF communications capability to the warfighter to
enable successful mission execution in congested and contested
environments. Current tactical radio systems require burdensome and
error-prone manual steps not only for initial configuration of
radio and networking parameters at setup, but also for execution of
the primary, alternate, contingency, emergency (PACE)
communications plan, which is used each time there is degradation,
interference or system failure.
On the program, Perspecta Labs will design, develop, integrate
and demonstrate an automated PACE capability which will
significantly reduce the burden on the warfighter and improve
network resilience. Leveraging machine learning and artificial
intelligence, Perspecta Labs' automated PACE technology will
deliver network awareness to automatically optimize network
configuration and data routing among available tactical radio
networks, saving time and providing resilient communications under
dynamic, congested and contested conditions.
"Perspecta Labs' automated PACE solution supports mission
success by automating initialization steps and using an intelligent
decision agent to maintain warfighter communications in the most
challenging environments," said Petros Mouchtaris, president and
general manager, Perspecta Labs. "We look forward to applying our
expertise in machine learning, RF communications and tactical
networking to deliver a capability which successfully integrates
with critical warfighter systems and increases network
resilience."
The Perspecta Labs automated PACE solution will support both
voice and data services, with an automated switching capability
cognizant of classification levels and boundaries. Program
evaluation and transition will include integrating the solution
into the Army's Integrated Tactical Network using Project Manager
Mission Command applications such as JBC-P and ATAK.
