About
About Parsons
Parsons develops and integrates defence, infrastructure and national-security technology. Its counter-UAS work covers detection, tracking, identification and mitigation for military bases, borders and critical infrastructure, connecting sensors and effectors through command software.
DroneArmor provides a command-and-control layer that fuses tracks and helps operators coordinate responses across a protected site. Parsons also performs systems engineering, testing and deployment for larger defence architectures, selecting radar, radio-frequency, optical and mitigation components around customer requirements. The company delivers integration and operational support rather than relying on one proprietary interceptor.
