Transitions: PAR Government Names Eric Brunner Executive Director of Mission Systems

Rome NY – PAR Government, a mission-focused company long known for delivering innovative solutions to support and defend the U.S. Government and her allies, has named Eric Brunner Executive Director of Mission Systems for its subsidiary Rome Research Corporation (RRC). 
Brunner is taking the helm from Michael Stark who, after a remarkable 20-year-career, has decided to retire. Stark will serve as a consultant to help Brunner through this transition.
“As we transition this top spot from one Navy vet to another, I’m confident RRC will remain in great hands,” said Michael Nelson, President, PAR Government. “Admiral George Anderson once said, ‘The Navy has both a tradition and a future – and we look with pride and confidence in both directions.’ I feel the same about this change. I graciously thank Mike for his service and look forward to Eric’s continued impact on PAR Government.”

Brunner has invested in the success of our company, and our employees, for 20 years. Under his leadership and guidance, we have expertly provided technical services to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) at offices around the globe, centering on strategic communications, satellite control, and information systems. Most recently, Brunner served as Director of Strategic Growth and prior to that served as a program manager specializing in communications programs.
“My success really comes down to the teamwork I’ve seen over the years,” said Brunner. “This promotion comes with the support of many teammates worldwide who are fulfilling Government requirements every day, every hour. It’s not an easy task, for sure. But their constant pursuit of excellence has yielded 85 Defense Information Systems Agency Awards for our customers over the years.”
During Brunner’s tenure as program manager, he maintained the lead capture role for 10 prime and more than 20 vital recompetes encompassing five continents. He also served as site manager at Brunswick, ME, and was selected as RRC Employee of the Year in 2004.

Third Annual “Show and Tell” Event is set for June 14-17 in Adler, MT

Rome NY and Carthage NC, 28 April 2023 – There’s no better way to understand mission critical technologies than to see them in action.

With this in mind, Tough Stump Technologies, a Veteran-owned small business, will host a one-of-a-kind technology rodeo June 14-17 in remote Adler, MT. PAR Government, a leader in situational awareness solutions, will be powering the command center during the event.

“Unlike trade shows that flood the industry this time of year, our Rodeo allows companies to collaborate in very real and very remote conditions, with the closest cell coverage being over 30 minutes away,” explained Ben Brown, co-founder and Chief Operations Officer for Tough Stump. “We liken this event to the ‘Tough Mudder’ of technology as our participants have an opportunity to demonstrate live stress tests in austere conditions.”

The Tough Stump Rodeo is designed for professionals seeking solutions to increase their mission effectiveness while improving the safety of personnel. Law enforcement, forestry, first responders, search and rescue officials, Geographic Information Services professionals, Department of Defense personnel, and Federal civilian stakeholders are encouraged to attend.

“At last year’s event, we were able to solve problems on the fly, and really learn how to use other capabilities to keep connected at a test site on Ruby Range, located 30 km away from base camp at Upper Canyon Outfitters,” added Verne LaClair, PAR Government product manager. “This year, we have the privilege of being the power behind all activities at the command center.”

As such, PAR will demonstrate ATAK mobile application’s communications and surveillance capabilities, including Sit(x)^®. PAR Government will be the only company handling all TAK communications, providing a critical path to all users. PAR will also provide a Starlink cellular backhaul to help support Unmanned Aerial Systems. Radios, MESH/MANET networks, drones and other unmanned vehicles will help keep teams connected in a disconnected environment.

Joining LaClair, attending on behalf of PAR Government, are:

• SFC Chad Wiley (CPD/CPM, JTAC Instructor/Evaluator, Experienced SOF Soldier) working new ICS market
• CPT Tim Peterson (PAR Government Product Sales, TAK Server as a Service in the AWS Cloud) working Tactical Assault Kit / Team Awareness Kit (ATAK/WinTAK/iTAK) and Sit(x)
• Levi Terry (PAR Government Software Engineer, Cyber Security specialist) working Unmanned Aerial Systems

Currently, members of the U.S. Army Special Operations, Marine Special Operations Forces, Wildland Fire, and BORTAC are attending as Government observers.

Event sponsors include Teledyne FLIR, Red Cat, Hexagon US Federal, GoTenna, and Darley Defense.

Additionally, attending companies include Bryodyn, Marshall Radio, Hoverfly, Ghost Robotics, TEAL Drones, Tomahawk Robotics, and Leica Geosystems.
