ROME, N.Y. — The U.S. Air Force has awarded PAR Government Systems Corp. a $3 million contract award for research and development.
PAR Government is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PAR Technology Corp.
PAR Technology (NYSE: PAR), based in New Hartford, is a provider of restaurant/retail management technology systems and government-contract services.
The company will service Rome Lab, the information directorate of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) under the three-and-a-half-year deal, PAR said in a news release.
Rome Lab, which operates at the Griffiss Business and Technology Park, focuses on communications and cyber technology.
“We are pleased that AFRL has selected PAR Government to support the iMARC program,” Matt Cicchinelli, president of PAR Government, said in the release. “Under this effort, we will develop innovative information transmission and reception technologies that can enhance warfighting utility, survivability and mission assurance.”
The contract, which involves “Innovative Multi-Mission Agile Radio Frequency Capability (iMARC),” has PAR Government providing technologies for multi-mission waveforms, assured wireless-communications systems, network connectivity, and wireless cyber-security.
PAR Government’s intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) sector will perform the contract work.
The PAR subsidiary on July 12 also announced a five-year, $5.1 million deal with Rome Lab, which focuses on “Newport radio frequency communications research and development (NewRAD).”
Under that 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, which is headquartered in Rome, provides ISR services to the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. government agencies, and private industry.
