Parry Labs has partnered with AeroVironment to develop digital engineering, software and mission system hardware aligned with a modular open systems approach to enhance the P550 uncrewed aircraft system for the U.S. Army’s Long-Range Reconnaissance, or LRR, program.
The Potomac Officers Club’s 2026 Army Summit on June 18 will highlight initiatives aimed at modernizing legacy systems, similar to how Parry Labs and AeroVironment are collaborating to enhance autonomous aerial systems. Register now to gain new insight into how top officials are working to deliver on the Army’s 2030 goals.
What Will Parry Labs & AeroVironment Deliver Through the Partnership?
The Virginia-based Parry Labs said Friday it will serve as an integrator, incorporating its mission system technologies into AeroVironment’s newly developed P550 UAS. The all-battery electric platform is designed to support long-range intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and lethal mission requirements. Through the collaboration, the companies aim to deliver a platform designed to adapt to changing mission needs and operate seamlessly across the Army’s broader family of systems.
How Will Parry Labs Support the Army’s LRR Program?
Parry Labs will apply its model-based systems engineering and open software architectures to enable AeroVironment to meet LRR requirements while maintaining flexibility for future capability enhancements. Parry Labs will also provide its STRATIA platform under a multi-year enterprise license to support command and control, autonomy and artificial intelligence applications.
“Our work with AV demonstrates how Parry Labs offers unique expertise in building scalable and interoperable systems based on government requirements while anticipating future mission needs,” said Dave Walsh, chief technology officer of Parry Labs.
“STRATIA simplifies integration of new capabilities while reducing the cost and time needed to implement across AV’s platforms,” Walsh continued.
