PALADIN Lab
For decades, Parsons’ innovative solutions have accelerated the warfighter’s decision chain and unlocked the all-domain battlespace. We’re involved in every aspect of the battlespace, including sensor integration; data collection and manipulation; full-spectrum cyber; software development and data exploitation; C5ISR; mission planning; missile defense; space operations, domain awareness, and satellite resiliency; and electronic and information warfare.
Developing Tomorrow’s Solutions Today
Our experience, capabilities, and best-of-breed solutioning approach, combined with our collaborative partnership mentality, culminate in a disruptive, open makerspace—PALADIN Lab.
Designed to foster new technologies and capabilities for the warfighter, PALADIN Lab, owned and operated by Parsons Corporation, is located on Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. From here, this innovation incubator connects industry, academia, and the Department of War, enabling us—and our customers—to leverage imaginative people and open, available technology to answer the DoW’s biggest challenges.
Developing Tomorrow’s Solutions Today
- 9,716 square-foot state-of-the-art, purpose-built C5ISR systems and software integration facility.
- Open and easy-access integration space to enable the identification, procurement, integration, testing, and eventual migration of operationally ready technologies.
- Scalable, virtual, and bare-metal server, compute, GPU, and storage (224 logical processors, 2.75 TB RAM, 130 TB storage), enabling customers without hardware to begin projects immediately.
- Hybrid cloud capability, enabling connectivity to external cloud resources and local compute and storage with 24/7 VPN and help-desk support.
- Customizable network and compute allow a collaborative approach to the integration, evaluation, and sandbox activities of emerging technologies.
- Easy-access integration environment with breakout/huddle rooms, dedicated demo room, secure meeting space, and RF lab.
- Massive operational data sets that can be used to evaluate commercial capabilities against realistic data to determine viability for meeting government requirements and integration needs.
- Key partnerships with industry leaders, allowing for the assessment of emerging technologies against mission requirements and capabilities .

Mission-Critical Collaboration For Mission-Focused Integration
PALADIN Lab provides a low-risk venue where the government and industry can collaborate to prototype proofs of concepts, emerging hardware, algorithms, and software technologies with existing government architectures. Through this process, the government can rapidly determine which commercial capabilities are worth pursuing and which don’t translate well to DoW requirements.
PALADIN Lab redefines what it means to rapidly assess, integrate, and deploy emerging capabilities that meet operational mission requirements.
Digital Infrastructure Center Of Excellence
PALADIN Lab is also home to our Parsons X Innovation Center of Excellence, a collaborative space where our team can accelerate the development and delivery of digitally enabled solutions for military and civilian infrastructure. Taking a software and vendor-agnostic approach, the Parsons X team helps cities, states, and federal agencies connect, protect, and upgrade the built infrastructure that our world relies on every day.
Our Integrated Lab Facilities
Our integrated network of system integration labs, DevSecOps support, and fabrication services acts as a force multiplier for our customers’ missions. Our networked labs are located close to customers and are externally accessible (VPN for third party and government).
Our Partners
We actively collaborate with industry leaders and niche providers, including Intel, NVIDIA, Amazon, NetApp, Cubic, Trace Systems, Abaco, Curtiss Wright, DELL, and more, to answer the DoW’s mission requirements.PALADIN Lab and our operational and technological subject matter experts provide the needed space and expertise to identify, evaluate, integrate, test, and deploy mission-critical capabilities.
