HOLLYWOOD, Maryland – (August 02, 2022) – Parraid, LLC, a small products-oriented business, wholly devoted to design, manufacturing, sales, and support of telemetry data systems and tactically oriented mission-critical communications solutions, announced today that it has been awarded a Navy Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract through the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division. This award will assist Parraid’s efforts to design and build a Secure Linux Power and Data Hub. The system known as Outside with Linux (OWL) will simultaneously provide data and power connections between tactical radios, peripheral devices, software applications, and modern commercial off the shelf edge computing devices. Parraid’s novel concept combines into a single rugged integrated package multiple functions currently requiring many separate devices and technologies. The system supports all the dismounted users’ tactical tasks, reducing end user workloads, and improving situational awareness on the edge.
John Parris, Parraid’s Co-Founder and Managing Partner, noted, “Parraid is excited to offer the low SWaP OWL concept. It is a commercially viable solution addressing technology gaps associated with the use of modern consumer computing devices requiring connectivity to legacy communications infrastructures. This Phase II investment will provide the Joint force with greater joint interoperability meeting the strategic goals of the Navy, Marine Corps and Joint Forces supporting expeditionary operations.”
Parris added: “Best of all, the hardware and software developed under this SBIR will provide an interoperability layer that can reduce integration costs for many Navy programs and Joint interoperability with Joint and Coalition partners supporting National Defense Strategic goals.”
Parraid’s product portfolio includes Telemetry Data Systems (TDS), deployable tactical systems, and net centric Everything over IP (EoIP) products. Parraid provides expedited acquisition, rapid fielding and execution of our mission-critical solutions, enabling our customers to transform, evolve, and modernize. Rooted in 25+ years of experience, Parraid is proudly headquartered in Hollywood, Maryland.
