Long-term software partnership expands deployment of STRATIA® and VIW across next-generation combat vehicle programs
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Parry Labs today announced that it has signed a five-year Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) with General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) for its STRATIA® and VIW software platforms. The agreement marks a significant expansion of the companies’ strategic relationship and reinforces Parry Labs’ role as a trusted software partner supporting the modernization of U.S. Army ground combat systems.
The enterprise agreement builds on Parry Labs’ successful support of the worldwide combat vehicle fleet and modernization programs, transitioning the relationship from individual program engagements to a long-term enterprise software partnership. By standardizing on STRATIA and VIW, General Dynamics Land Systems will continue leveraging Parry Labs’ modular, open architecture software to accelerate development, integration, and deployment across mission-critical vehicle platforms.
As the Army modernizes, software has become a decisive enabler of future combat capability. The platform must rapidly integrate advanced technologies while maintaining a secure, modular, and continuously upgradable software architecture aligned with Ground Combat Systems Common Infrastructure Architecture (GCIA) and Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) principles. Achieving these objectives requires robust cybersecurity, resilient network architectures, and software designed to support mixed-criticality environments throughout development, integration, and operational deployment.
Parry Labs addresses these challenges by delivering mission-critical computer software configuration items (CSCIs), software integration, and engineering expertise spanning cybersecurity, systems and software architecture, and network design. Through STRATIA and VIW, the company enables accelerated software development while supporting GCIA compliance, FACE™ Technical Standard conformance, and seamless integration across evolving vehicle architectures. This approach enables General Dynamics Land Systems to rapidly prototype, integrate, and field new technologies while preserving the flexibility and interoperability essential to modern combat systems.
“This agreement represents an important milestone for Parry Labs,” said Don Claussen, CEO of Parry Labs. “A five-year enterprise commitment reflects the confidence GDLS has in both our technology and our team’s ability to consistently deliver on complex defense programs. We’re proud to support their mission with software designed to enable faster innovation, strengthen cyber resilience, and accelerate delivery of next-generation capabilities to the warfighter.”
“We design our combat vehicles to rapidly integrate new digital capabilities,” said Jeff Massimilla, Vice President of Engineering, Design and Technology at General Dynamics Land Systems. “Parry Labs’ STRATIA and VIW platforms provide a powerful, open and cyber-resilient software foundation that aligns with GCIA and MOSA principles and helps ensure warfighters receive modernized, mission-ready systems faster. This is what it means to deliver the power to win.”
The award underscores a broader shift across the defense industry toward enterprise software strategies that prioritize open systems, reusable capabilities, and long-term digital modernization. Rather than procuring software on a program-by-program basis, enterprise agreements provide greater continuity, accelerate capability delivery, and establish a foundation for future innovation.
The contract strengthens Parry Labs’ position as a leading provider of mission software and digital infrastructure for defense platforms while creating new opportunities to expand enterprise software adoption across additional Department of War modernization initiatives.
