CHANTILLY, Va., Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that the company was selected by Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific to provide research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) and technical engineering services for the Seabed to Space (S2) Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) program. The $350 million multiple award indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract supports advancing maritime ISR and Information Operations (IO) capabilities for the U.S. Navy.
As an incumbent on the current S2ISR contract vehicle, Parsons brings proven experience and a deep understanding of mission requirements, enabling seamless continuity and immediate operational readiness for critical capabilities.
Under the contract, Parsons will compete for task orders to deliver end-to-end support for ISR systems, from initial development to deployment and sustainment in the field. The company will provide a broad range of technical, operational, and cybersecurity services to ensure these systems remain effective, reliable, and mission-ready.
“Parsons’ selection for the S2ISR program reflects our proven ability to deliver integrated, multi-domain solutions that address increasingly complex mission requirements,” said Mike Kushin, president, Defense & Intelligence for Parsons. “By combining advanced engineering, data analytics, and cybersecurity expertise, we are helping the Navy accelerate the delivery of resilient, mission-critical capabilities from the seabed to space.”
This work will support the Navy’s efforts to design, develop, and field advanced capabilities that enhance communication, surveillance, and security across a wide range of operational environments. Parsons’ solutions will span space, air, land, and maritime domains, including autonomous and non-autonomous platforms, satellite systems, and tactical communications networks.
Through this effort, Parsons will help strengthen the Navy’s ability to stay ahead of evolving threats by delivering adaptable, secure, and interoperable systems that maintain operational effectiveness in dynamic and contested environments. Building on a national security portfolio that includes multi-domain, all-source ISR, autonomous systems integration, cyber and electronic warfare, and space-based mission solutions for the Department of War and the Intelligence Community, Parsons will leverage its proven experience on Navy and joint programs to rapidly field and scale capabilities that are already supporting operational forces worldwide.
