As the Indo-Pacific remains the world's most strategically significant theater, military forces face unprecedented demands to operate across vast distances, under degraded conditions, and against increasingly sophisticated adversaries. Meeting those challenges requires advanced technology and partners willing to work side-by-side with operators, move at operational speed, and continuously adapt to mission needs.
"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", said Meghan Grumbach, Vice President of Marketing and Partnerships at Raft.
Through its participation in Raft's Partner Program, Parsons will collaborate with Raft to support modernization efforts across the region, advance data and AI adoption, and deliver capabilities that improve decision advantage, operational resilience, and force effectiveness.
"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."
This engagement reflects a broader shift in defense modernization toward continuous collaboration between operators and industry. A recent example of this collaboration was the Pacific Operator Training, where Raft and Parsons brought together military leaders and operators from across the joint force to educate and train on modern data architectures, artificial intelligence, and mission technologies currently supporting operational missions throughout the Pacific.
By combining their expertise and maintaining a relentless focus on mission outcomes, Raft and Parsons will continue leading the modernization efforts that are strengthening operational readiness across the Indo-Pacific.
