CHANTILLY, Va., Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspecta Inc.
(NYSE: PRSP), announced today that its innovative applied research
arm, Perspecta Labs, was awarded a prime contract to develop a
spectrum access manager for the Department of Defense (DOD) under
the National Spectrum Consortium's Spectrum Base Agreement. The
contract, which represents new work for the company, has a value of
$6.2 million and a three-year period
of performance.
Radio frequency (RF) spectrum is a vital resource for DOD
testing of every type of weapon system and military platform—from
aircraft, ships and missiles to ground vehicles and diverse radio
systems. RF spectrum is also limited, congested and under
increasing demand for both military and commercial use. On this
program, Perspecta Labs will develop a spectrum access manager that
enables DOD test ranges to better understand and characterize their
RF spectrum environment, quantify the performance of test systems
based on a given mission profile, and improve efficiency in the
scheduling and allocation of RF spectrum.
"DOD test ranges face a significant spectrum shortfall as there
is an increasing demand to support the testing of complex emerging
systems, but less dedicated spectrum available," said Petros
Mouchtaris, Ph.D., president of Perspecta Labs. "Perspecta Labs
will leverage its leading expertise in RF spectrum solutions to
design, develop, integrate and demonstrate a spectrum access
management and planning tool that delivers revolutionary advances
in the characterization and management of RF spectrum and the
planning and scheduling of test events."
The Perspecta Labs spectrum access manager will provide DOD test
ranges with the capability to efficiently deconflict spectrum
assignments for testing, provide actionable information regarding
telemetry link performance for a given flight path, implement
automated sharing techniques to efficiently support required
operations, and provide precise visualization of spectrum
assignments and telemetry link performance. Perspecta Labs will
perform new design and development activities, as well as integrate
software and system prototypes to deliver a complete solution for
spectrum situational awareness, efficient allocation, and ease of
use in planning, scheduling and conducting tests.
