Raft and Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced on June 30, 2026, that Parsons has joined Raft's Partner Program to accelerate the delivery of data, artificial intelligence, and mission-critical capabilities to military operators across the Indo-Pacific. The collaboration aims to help the joint force increase lethality, accelerate decision-making, and maintain a decisive advantage in contested environments. This strategic partnership underscores the growing importance of advanced technology in addressing the operational demands of the Indo-Pacific theater.

The Indo-Pacific remains the world's most strategically significant theater, where military forces face unprecedented demands to operate across vast distances and under degraded conditions. Meeting these challenges requires advanced technology and partners willing to work side-by-side with operators, move at operational speed, and continuously adapt to mission needs. Through its participation in Raft's Partner Program, Parsons will collaborate to support modernization efforts, advance data and AI adoption, and deliver capabilities that improve decision advantage, operational resilience, and force effectiveness.

"Our Partner Program is built with intention, and we're proud to welcome Parsons to a growing ecosystem of strategic partners who share our vision and drive long-term growth," said Meghan Grumbach, Vice President of Marketing and Partnerships at Raft.

Parsons' president of Defense and Intelligence, Mike Kushin, emphasized the practical benefits of the collaboration. "Our customers need capabilities that work on day one and evolve at the pace of the mission," Kushin said. "Together with Raft, we are delivering integrated data and AI solutions that put operators first, accelerating insight, improving mission outcomes, and ensuring the joint force can outpace emerging threats across the Indo-Pacific."

Strategic Collaboration and Recent Initiatives

This engagement reflects a broader shift in defense modernization toward continuous collaboration between operators and industry. A recent example of this collaboration was the Pacific Operator Training, where Raft and Parsons brought together military leaders and operators from across the joint force. The training focused on educating participants on modern data architectures, artificial intelligence, and mission technologies currently supporting operational missions throughout the Pacific.

By combining their expertise and maintaining a relentless focus on mission outcomes, Raft and Parsons aim to lead modernization efforts that strengthen operational readiness across the Indo-Pacific. The partnership leverages Raft's capabilities in connecting data, systems, sensors, and operators from the tactical edge to the enterprise, alongside Parsons' expertise in cyber and electronic warfare, space and missile defense, and critical infrastructure protection.

Parsons Corporation delivers full-spectrum cyber and electromagnetic capabilities that enable government customers to operate effectively in contested, multi-domain environments. The company's integrated approach supports electromagnetic spectrum superiority, strengthens cyber resilience, and accelerates decision-making across the joint battlespace through advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). These technologies enhance warfighter lethality by delivering faster, more precise effects across the all-domain battlespace.

"Cyber and electromagnetic superiority are critical to the future operational landscape," said Mike Kushin, president of Defense and Intelligence for Parsons. "Our integrated, full-spectrum capabilities, enhanced by AI-driven innovation, are designed to address evolving threats and mission requirements while enabling increased lethality and mission effectiveness for the warfighter. We continue to see strong demand for solutions that drive resilience, speed, and decision advantage."

AI-Enabled Cyber Operations

AI serves as a foundational enabler across Parsons' Cyber-EW portfolio. In cyber operations, AI-powered tools introduce intelligent automation and decision support, allowing operators to interact with complex systems through natural language and translate intent into action with greater speed and precision. Agentic capabilities extend this advantage by orchestrating workflows, scaling offensive cyber operations, and enabling rapid execution of mission objectives with consistency and control.

On the defensive side, intelligent automation helps identify, analyze, and respond to increasingly sophisticated and automated cyber threats. This strengthens protection against high-velocity attacks while enabling faster planning and execution with human oversight. AI also supports the rapid generation of training and exercise scenarios, improving scalability and adaptability for mission readiness.

Electromagnetic Domain and Command Integration

Within the electromagnetic domain, Parsons applies AI to enhance signal processing, data fusion, and real-time analysis. Advanced data parsing allows operators to identify patterns and extract actionable insights from complex datasets. This improves responsiveness and situational awareness under constrained spectrum conditions and supports timely, mission-critical effects.

The company delivers mission-integrated command-and-control solutions that fuse cyber and electromagnetic data with intelligent analytics. This enables faster, more informed decisions that directly support mission execution and operational advantage. Parsons' approach combines mission engineering, software-defined capabilities, intelligent automation, and advanced analytics to deliver scalable, interoperable solutions that support Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) and future force modernization efforts.
