“For decades, Parsons has been on the leading edge of all-domain military operations, especially in the data fusion, software analysis, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions,” said Rida Hamza, Parsons’ vice president of MEA federal solutions. “We look forward to working closely with our Middle East partners as we work towards continued regional stability, safety, and advancement.”

Capabilities on display will range from tailored hardware and software cyber solutions to smart base solutions and critical infrastructure protection, as well as airborne mission planning and data processing tools. The company’s ZEUS  laser system will also be exhibited. ZEUS is a directed energy weapon system used to destroy unexploded ordinance (UXO) with extreme accuracy in previously denied areas and improves the safety of deployed warfighters.

The RADBO system based on a Cougar MRAP has been developed by the U.S. Air Force to clear unexploded bombs from runways. The RADBO began testing at Redstone Test Centre in January 2013. The RADBO's Zeus III laser allows the operator to trigger an unexploded bomb from up to 300 meters away. (Picture source: Redstone Test Center)
