The company will service Rome Lab, the information directorate of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) under the five-year deal. The contract focuses on “Newport radio frequency communications research and development (NewRAD),” PAR said in a news release issued Tuesday.

Rome Lab, which operates at the Griffiss Business and Technology Park, focuses on communications and cyber technology.

Under the deal, PAR Government will perform research development test and evaluation (RDT&E) activities to meet radio frequency technical-program requirements for operational airframes, aircraft, vehicles, and weapon-systems tests in response to Air Force needs and other components of the U.S. Department of Defense.

PAR Government’s intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) sector will perform the contract work, the company said.

“We are pleased that AFRL has chosen PAR Government to support the NewRAD program. PAR Government will draw upon our staff’s extensive experience and in-depth knowledge in signals and antenna theory in the performance of this effort,” Matt Cicchinelli, president of PAR Government, said in the company’s release.

PAR Government, which is headquartered in Rome, provides ISR services to the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. government agencies, and private industry.
