Parsons Corp. will spearhead an industry team to design, mature, procure, integrate, operate and maintain Air Base Air Defense systems across Europe and Africa.
The new 10-year, $953 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity effort will be performed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. It will focus on systems across the European and African continent areas of responsibility for the U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa.
“As threats continue to advance and evolve globally, our team of industry leaders is ready to protect the nation’s global warfighters by developing a flexible, responsive, all-domain air base defense system to rapidly detect, alert, deny, or defeat threats ranging from low-cost irregular attacks to hypersonic weapons,” said Shaun McGrath, Parsons ABAD program manager.
Parsons will focus on the maturation of an all-domain system, which is composed of commercial off-the-shelf and government off-the-shelf software and hardware technologies designed to protect existing and future air bases.
“Our tailored solutions and all-domain expertise combined with next-generation commercial detect and defeat capabilities, enable us to provide constant and reliable protection for our forces today and everyday,” McGrath said.
The Parsons-led ABAD team includes Leidos, Science Applications International Corp., SRC, Inc., Stellar Solutions, CUBRC, Darkblade, Leonardo, ELTA North America, Capstone Research and Black River Systems.
