CHANTILLY, Va., Oct. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Perspecta Inc. (NYSE: PRSP), announced
today that its innovative applied research arm, Perspecta Labs, has
received a contract option and modification for work on phase 3 of
the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA's)
Converged Collaborative Elements for radio frequency (RF) Task
Operations (CONCERTO) program. These awards build upon successful
phase 2 implementation and demonstration and have a combined value
of $5.1 million.
The objective of the CONCERTO program is to develop, implement
and demonstrate a converged RF resource manager that adaptively
controls components of radar, electronic warfare and communications
functions on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). During phase 2 of the
program, Perspecta Labs' RF resource manager significantly
outperformed conventional resource management techniques when
tested in complex, government-defined scenarios. The technology
improved communications throughput, reduced tracking errors and
reached unprecedented decision speeds—achieving 100% of mission
objectives across these complex scenarios.
Phase 3 work, to be conducted over a 21-month period of
performance, will further mature and advance Perspecta Labs' RF
resource manager, including management of diverse third-party RF
payload hardware. The company will also demonstrate the capability,
scalability and agility of its solution in flight tests on a UAV
platform to enable technology adoption by other programs of record.
The additional contract modification supports a six-month effort to
develop distributed extensions of the solution.
"Perspecta Labs' RF resource manager changes the paradigm of UAV
performance by bringing better, faster, more accurate command and
control to warfighters while providing the critical RF dominance
needed by the U.S. military to ensure operational success," said
Petros Mouchtaris, Ph.D., president of Perspecta Labs. "We are
excited to mature and demonstrate our solution on UAVs to meet
multi-function needs, support multi-platform operations and achieve
distributed battle management objectives."
Perspecta Labs' innovative RF resource manager provides a
scalable, extensible and agile solution, leveraging sophisticated
machine learning techniques, to meet stringent, real-time
performance requirements and achieve complex objectives. It
provides management across multiple payloads on a single platform
and, with distributed extensions, supports cross-platform
distributed battle management applications to enable mission
success.
