EVERYWHERE Communications announced a partnership with Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) to develop autonomous drone capabilities under a Small Business Innovation Research initiative focused on operations in disconnected environments.

The collaboration aims to address limitations in current drone systems that require continuous connectivity for control and data transmission. EVERYWHERE Communications will provide a data transport layer using Iridium Satellite technology to enable drones to operate autonomously while transmitting sensor data to operators.

The technology is designed to support beyond-line-of-sight operations, data transmission in disrupted environments, autonomous mission execution with AI-driven patterns, coordination of multiple drones, and low-bandwidth communication channels for mission updates.

"In austere environments, connectivity is never guaranteed," said Jake Bailey, President of EVERYWHERE Communications. "We're enabling drones to keep operating—and keep delivering intelligence—even when the network is compromised."

Parsons will deliver TAK-as-a-Service, providing TAK Server integration and support services for Department of Defense and Federal agencies. The service includes secure deployment, federation, and continuous support for situational awareness and data interoperability across distributed mission environments.

"In an era where every second and every signal matters, this collaboration brings together resilient autonomy in the air and trusted mission systems on the ground to give our warfighters and intelligence professionals a decisive information advantage," said Mike Kushin, President of Defense and Intelligence at Parsons.

The platform will support collaborative drone operations, allowing systems to share information across distributed networks and contribute to a shared Common Operating Picture.
