Parry Labs Enhances AV's P550 Uncrewed Aircraft System for U.S. Army
Parry Labs, a leading defense technology company known for its modular open systems and edge infrastructure, is making significant strides in the field of military technology. The company has entered into a partnership with AeroVironment Inc (NASDAQ: AVAV) to develop advanced mission systems for the newly created P550™ uncrewed aircraft system (UAS). This development is aimed at fulfilling the U.S. Army's Long Range Reconnaissance (LRR) program requirements.
Integration of MOSA Architecture
As the mission systems integrator, Parry Labs is embedding its proven mission system components into the P550 platform. This ensures that the Army receives a system that can evolve with mission needs and maintain interoperability across the Family of Systems.
Technical Expertise and Support
For this crucial project, Parry Labs will leverage its expertise in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to help AV implement the necessary capabilities for the LRR program. This integration will not only facilitate current needs but also pave the way for future enhancements.
