| What is your company’s history?
PURVIS began our work aboard the U.S. destroyer USS Hugh PURVIS in 1973, conducting sea trials and sonar experiments, which later resulted in a long-standing contract with the U.S. Navy and what is now the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, RI.
Two years later, we expanded our focus into the public safety space and formed a partnership with the Fire Department of New York City (FDNY), providing technical services and system support that continues to this day.
Following our initial work with the USS PURVIS and the FDNY, our work in both defense and public safety has grown and expanded. Today, we are driven by our responsibility to equip the Department of Defense with the sustainable, engineered solutions needed to protect our nation’s security – on land and at sea.

Why do you consider membership in SENEDIA valuable?
Membership in SENEDIA provides a broad range of networking opportunities that facilitate business partnerships. But equally valuable are the email/newsletter updates, a way to stay informed about happenings and events impacting our business both locally and nationally, training opportunities through Tech Talks and highly skilled interns who often become employees. All of these are valuable support elements for a small business.
