​Perspecta Labs wins $13 million award to continue development of an agile, efficient, resilient radio frequency communications solution for the U.S. Army

Chantilly, Va., November 18, 2020--Perspecta Inc. (NYSE: PRSP), announced today that its innovative applied research arm, Perspecta Labs, has received an award on the modular radio frequency (ModRF) program for the U.S. Army from the Consortium Management Group, Inc., on behalf of the Consortium for Command, Control and Communications in Cyberspace (C5). This award, which represents follow-on work for the company, has a value of $13 million.

Radio frequency (RF) spectrum is a vital resource for DOD testing of every type of weapon system and military platform—from aircraft, ships and missiles to ground vehicles and diverse radio systems. RF spectrum is also limited, congested and under increasing demand for both military and commercial use. On this program, Perspecta Labs will develop a spectrum access manager that enables DOD test ranges to better understand and characterize their RF spectrum environment, quantify the performance of test systems based on a given mission profile, and improve efficiency in the scheduling and allocation of RF spectrum.

“DOD test ranges face a significant spectrum shortfall as there is an increasing demand to support the testing of complex emerging systems, but less dedicated spectrum available,” said Petros Mouchtaris, Ph.D., president of Perspecta Labs. “Perspecta Labs will leverage its leading expertise in RF spectrum solutions to design, develop, integrate and demonstrate a spectrum access management and planning tool that delivers revolutionary advances in the characterization and management of RF spectrum and the planning and scheduling of test events.”
​
The Perspecta Labs spectrum access manager will provide DOD test ranges with the capability to efficiently deconflict spectrum assignments for testing, provide actionable information regarding telemetry link performance for a given flight path, implement automated sharing techniques to efficiently support required operations, and provide precise visualization of spectrum assignments and telemetry link performance. Perspecta Labs will perform new design and development activities, as well as integrate software and system prototypes to deliver a complete solution for spectrum situational awareness, efficient allocation, and ease of use in planning, scheduling and conducting tests.
