New Jersey-based Parvus Corporation has won a $700,000 contract from defense giant Lockheed Martin for developing, testing, and supplying a pre-production, ruggedized version of the Cisco Aironet wireless access point for Zumwalt, the U.S. Navy’s lead ship of next generation destroyers. Parvus will repackage COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) Cisco Aironet technology to meet the harsh shipboard EMI/EMC environment to provide a secure WiFi network for the ships’ crew members. Parvus will qualify the equipment to MIL-STD-81F, MIL-STD-461E, and other military standards, as specified by the Navy, to ensure reliability under adverse conditions.
