Parsons joins Raft partner program for Indo-Pacific defense AI work
Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) has joined Raft's Partner Program, the two companies announced, with the goal of delivering data and artificial intelligence capabilities to military operators across the Indo-Pacific region.
Under the arrangement, Parsons will collaborate with Raft to support defense modernization efforts, advance AI adoption, and deliver tools aimed at improving decision-making and operational resilience for U.S. joint forces.
"Our customers need capabilities that work on day one and evolve at the pace of the mission," said Mike Kushin, president of Defense and Intelligence for Parsons. "Together with Raft, we are delivering integrated data and AI solutions that put operators first, accelerating insight, improving mission outcomes, and ensuring the joint force can outpace emerging threats across the Indo-Pacific."
Raft's Vice President of Marketing and Partnerships, Meghan Grumbach, said the program is designed to build a strategic partner ecosystem. "Our Partner Program is built with intention, and we're proud to welcome Parsons to a growing ecosystem of strategic partners who share our vision and drive long-term growth," she said.
The companies cited a recent Pacific Operator Training event as an example of their collaboration, where military leaders and operators were trained on data architectures, AI, and mission technologies used in the Pacific theater.
Raft describes itself as a defense technology company providing data and AI software for the U.S. Department of Defense. Parsons operates across national security and infrastructure markets, including cyber, electronic warfare, and space and missile defense. The announcement was based on a company press release.
