CHANTILLY, Va., March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspecta Inc.
(NYSE: PRSP), announced today that its innovative applied
research arm, Perspecta Labs, received multiple awards for
large-scale experimentation and prototyping of dual-use 5G
technology for the Department of Defense (DOD). Perspecta Labs was
awarded two prime contracts with a combined ceiling value of
$8.1 million and a 39-month period of
performance if all options are exercised. Perspecta Labs will also
perform as a subcontractor on two additional contracts. The four
projects represent new work for the company.
Commercial 5G mobile broadband technology delivers high speeds
and significantly faster response times than current 4G technology,
thus greatly increasing capacity for Internet of Things (IoT)
networking and creating the ability to harness billions of
connected sensors, smart appliances and wireless devices. By
supporting full-scale testing of novel 5G prototypes in operational
environments, the DOD will accelerate implementation of advanced
wireless communications.
Perspecta Labs will lead and participate in large-scale 5G
prototypes for logistics, smart warehouses, dynamic spectrum
utilization and spectrum sharing.
"Operational-scale experimentation and testing are critical to
achieving the potential of commercial 5G infrastructure in
industries from defense, transportation and logistics to critical
infrastructure, health care and manufacturing," said Petros
Mouchtaris, Ph.D., president of Perspecta Labs. "Perspecta Labs is
excited to design, implement and deploy dual-use 5G prototypes at
DOD test sites as part of the world's largest full-scale 5G
experiments."
On the awarded prime contracts, Perspecta Labs will perform the
following:
- Prime award of $5.0 million over
36 months for Navy Smart Warehouse 5G Network Enhancement Prototype
at Naval Base Coronado (NBC), California to develop a 5G-enabled smart
warehouse focused on transshipment between shore facilities and
naval units. Perspecta Labs will develop an end-to-end,
device-to-logistics-server security solution for 5G and additional
IoT capacity based on novel cybersecurity techniques, advances in
5G radio and a zero trust 5G architecture
- Prime award of $3.1 million over
39 for months for Dynamic Spectrum Utilization at Hill Air Force
Base (HAFB), Utah to address the
challenge of enabling Air Force radars to dynamically share
spectrum with 5G cellular services in the 3.1–3.45 GHz band.
Perspecta Labs will develop an intelligent 5G system control based
on machine learning and sophisticated signal processing techniques
to rapidly detect and react to radar activity, interpret
radar-obfuscated sensor data and improve spectrum utilization
