Parsons Corporation announced that its DroneArmor counter‑unmanned aircraft system has been deployed along the United States southern border, marking the first operational use of the company’s TRL‑9 technology. The deployment was made by a federal national‑security customer and is expected to generate recurring revenue for Parsons as the system protects personnel, communities, and critical infrastructure from unauthorized drone activity.
DroneArmor integrates radar, electronic warfare, optics, and AI‑enabled software to autonomously track, identify, and mitigate drone threats. The system’s TRL‑9 status indicates that it has passed full‑scale field testing and is ready for operational deployment. The technology is developed at Parsons’ C‑UAS Center of Excellence in Summit Point, West Virginia, and represents the company’s most advanced autonomous defense platform to date.
The counter‑unmanned aircraft system market is projected to reach $20.31 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 25.1% from 2025 to 2030. Parsons’ deployment positions it as a key player in this rapidly expanding market and reinforces its strategy to deliver technology‑driven solutions to federal customers. The company has recently secured other significant contracts, including a $593 million FAA extension and a $60 million Los Angeles Metro A Line extension, underscoring its growing footprint in national‑security and infrastructure projects.
Parsons’ financial performance in the third quarter of 2025 showed revenue of $1.6 billion, a 10% decline year‑over‑year, and net income of $64 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 9.8%, up 60 basis points from the prior year. The new DroneArmor deployment is expected to add a recurring revenue stream that will help offset the revenue decline and support margin expansion as the company scales its autonomous defense solutions.
Carey Smith, Chair, President, and CEO of Parsons, said the deployment “strengthens national security, protects U.S. infrastructure, and keeps our communities safe.” She highlighted the company’s role as a leading system integrator for national‑security missions and emphasized its agility in developing transformative solutions.
