We’ve played a major role in delivering a modern, scalable Space C2 capability for the U.S. Space Force that is designed to keep pace with the rapid proliferation of satellites and the challenges that come with operating in a highly contested and congested environment. We’re also leading the pioneering effort to deliver the nation’s first ever dedicated space traffic coordination system for the Department of Commerce, designed to meet the needs of private and civil satellite operators around the globe. Our engineering teams design, develop, and deploy software systems that enhance operational efficiency. Emphasis is placed on creating secure,
resilient, and operationally relevant applications that easily integrate with existing systems. We leverage our expertise in cloud computing, microservices architectures, and DevSecOps processes to ensure rapid delivery and continuous improvement of software products. Pairing world class technologists with industry leading subject matter experts (SMEs), we deliver innovative solutions that empower organizations to achieve their strategic objectives.

We develop cutting-edge AI/ML and data science solutions that revolutionize space operations. Operationally proven machine learning, anomaly detection, and multi-hypothesis sensemaking capabilities facilitate real-time threat detection, predictive analysis, and accelerated decision-making that increases mission success in complex and dynamic space environments. AI-driven insights provide enhanced situational awareness, optimized resource allocation, more timely and accurate decision making, and improved operational efficiency. Our AI and MLOps software products emphasize ensemble-based pattern of-life (PoL) learning, real-time anomaly detection, automated model learning, and automated uncertainty identification, quantification, and reduction. These reusable AI technologies allow us to quickly deliver scalable solutions that exploit vast amounts of sensor data and satellite information to produce actionable intelligence in support of critical space missions.

We have been a leader in the development of critical SDA Analytics for over 15 years. Our team has employed novel analytic methods like Delaunay triangulation to determine vulnerability to collection by Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) satellites when legacy solutions proved incapable of keeping pace with a rapidly evolving adversary. We implemented a solution to demonstrate the use of Convolutional Neural Networks to process breakup events in near real-time on classified networks based on tensors that were trained on tens of thousands of real and synthetic Flexible Image Transport Systems files. We use cutting-edge analytic tools and methodologies to process large datasets and exploratory visualization techniques making data science accessible and understandable to space operators. Our engineers have utilized common DAAS solutions such as Palantir’s Foundry and C3.ai’s
Agentic AI platform for integrating, deploying, and managing space domain analytical solutions. Our track record of employing novel analytics to provide more timely and actionable insights to operators is a major reason the IC, U.S. Space Force, and others are expanding their investments into Parsons’ SDA solutions.

We have invested in the creation of cross-functional teams that include career space operators from multiple branches of the DoD and individuals with postgraduate and doctoral degrees in fields like Space Systems, Astronautical Engineering, and Physics. Most of these experts come from the national security space community where they served as operators, trainers, testers, or commanders of critical space systems covering the full breadth of space mission areas. They provide our product development teams with unique domain-specific insights and novel solutions to today’s most complex space missions and needs. Our SMEs stay relevant by actively engaging with users through training events, exercise support, and site visits to the various operations and intelligence centers that employ our capabilities. Many of these individuals are active members of cross-agency intelligence community
working groups or force design offices, which strengthens the credibility and efficacy of the solutions we develop for achieving desired mission outcomes. Our SMEs are a key enabler to Parsons’ long and distinguished track record of delivering mission critical space analysis and decision support tools for thousands of analysts and operators around the world.

We support multiple enterprise-level space programs with expertise spanning system administration, system operations (SysOps), site reliability engineering, cybersecurity, and technical writing. Our team has decades of experience providing around-the-clock Tier 1, 2, and 3 onsite and remote support at all classification levels for on-premises and cloud-based systems. Responsibilities include systems engineering, installation, maintenance, monitoring, and proactive sustainment through quarterly patches, accreditation support, and system configuration management. Our engineers manage virtualized environments, physical hardware stacks, cloud infrastructure, and network devices. Our system management expertise also includes integrating security tools into the
development process, hardening systems from the operating system level through application components, and leveraging automation tools like Puppet and Ansible. We have extensive experience with full lifecycle cybersecurity support in obtaining and maintaining certificates to field and ATOs for enterprise software systems deployed throughout the DoD and IC. These efforts ensure system availability, operational efficiency, and mission success across many of our nation’s most critical space programs.

We are an industry leader in the employment of DevSecOps best practices and the management of on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-based computing platforms. Our team was a foundational member of the SpaceCAMP and Platform One software factories and played an influential role in establishing and evolving their DevSecOps processes. Our engineers hold many certifications on AWS and Azure and are well-versed in how to deploy and manage software in those environments.
Our expertise in cloud computing and platform management enables the design, deployment, and maintenance of scalable, secure, and high-performance cloud environments. Utilizing advanced automation tools, cloud technologies, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, we accelerate delivery cycles while maintaining stringent security standards through established cybersecurity processes.
The team’s proficiency in managing multi-cloud and hybrid environments ensures optimal compute resource utilization and cost efficiency. We deliver innovative, tailored solutions that empower organizations to achieve their digital transformation goals securely and efficiently.

We have extensive experience ingesting, transforming, disseminating and protecting space domain data for some of our nation’s most sensitive defense and intelligence programs.
We achieve this through various innovative methods, including the development of workflow engines that seamlessly enable data sharing between systems. Messaging technologies such as Kafka and NiFi are utilized to facilitate data exchange, integration, and communication between backend software systems and workflow engines. Optimization of SQL, NoSQL, and cloud storage solutions supports real-time, archival, and long-term data persistence. Parsons’ overall data management
