Raft and Parsons Join Forces to Modernize Indo-Pacific Defense Tech

The partnership focuses on delivering integrated software solutions that remain effective in degraded environments. By combining Raft’s expertise in data and AI software with Parsons’ footprint in national security infrastructure, the companies intend to improve operational resilience for the joint force. According to Mike Kushin, president of Defense and Intelligence for Parsons, the goal is to provide tools that work on day one and evolve alongside mission requirements.

This collaboration recently manifested in the Pacific Operator Training, an initiative designed to familiarize military leaders with advanced data architectures. Meghan Grumbach, Vice President of Marketing and Partnerships at Raft, noted that the program is intended to cultivate an ecosystem of partners capable of moving at operational speeds. This move signals a wider industry transition toward tighter, continuous integration between defense contractors and the operators they support in the field.
