SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, April 29, 2010 – Parvus Corporation announces a design win for Parvus’ DuraNET® 3825 subsystem into the NATO MEADS (Medium Extended Air Defense System) program. BMC4I developer Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company (NYSE: LMT) has specified the DuraNET 3825, a ruggedized version of Cisco Systems’ 3825 Integrated Services Router (ISR), to provide the network connectivity for the MEADS Tactical Operations Center. Parvus has shipped initial quantities to Lockheed and other NATO partners. No financial details were disclosed.

MEADS will meet challenging new requirements not addressed by any previous or planned Air and Missile Defense system. Under development by Germany, Italy and the United States, MEADS is a mobile system that will replace Patriot in the United States and Nike Hercules in Italy. It will replace Hawk and Patriot systems in Germany. The system is designed to permit full interoperability between the U.S. and allied armies, and it is the only medium-range air defense system to provide full 360-degree coverage.

The DuraNET 3825 provides a robust Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) solution that extends the application use of industry-leading Cisco hardware. The DuraNET 3825 combines the powerful features available in Cisco IOS® software, Catalyst® Layer 2 LAN switching, and flexible Layer 3 WAN routing into a single ruggedized platform. This robust Internet Protocol (IP) networking device integrates embedded security processing, generous performance, high memory capacity, and high-density interfaces to deliver the performance, availability, and reliability required for scaling mission-critical applications.

Featuring mechanical packaging enhancements designed to suit shipboard / military shock and EMI environments, the DuraNET 3825 is designed to meet MIL-S-901D Grade B shock levels and MIL-STD-461 radiated emissions requirements. The DuraNET 3825 subsystem comes in a rugged rack-mountable 2U chassis fitted with circular MIL-DTL-38999 connectors. The unit brings out up to nineteen (19) Ethernet and ten (10) serial ports, including dual Gigabit Ethernet WAN uplink ports, a Gigabit Ethernet Switch port, sixteen 10/100 Ethernet switch ports, eight Asynchronous / Synchronous RS-232 ports, console and auxiliary serial ports.

“The inclusion of DuraNET 3825 routers for the MEADS program is a testament to Parvus’ proven track record of supplying durable, highly-reliable IP networking equipment for demanding military applications,” said Les Goodman, president of Parvus. “We are honored to partner with Lockheed Martin to supply such an important program with the necessary equipment for the next-generation air and missile defense system.”
