The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Defense Spectrum Organization (DSO) has awarded Peraton two contracts worth up to $23 million for development and support services over a five-year period. “Our work on these two awards will allow Peraton to expand our spectrum software-related capabilities, deepen our experience in spectrum sharing solutions, and reinforce our standing in the information warfare space,” said John Coleman, president of Peraton's Defense and Homeland Security Sector. 

Peraton holds a position on a potential $950 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity to help the U.S. Air Force develop an advanced battle management system in support of the Department of Defense's Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) program.

Peraton has appointed Kevin Meiners, former deputy director of national Intelligence for enterprise capacity at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), to the company's advisory board. He will join other government and commercial technology veterans who advise and counsel Peraton's management team on strategic matters.

Peraton has been awarded a potential five-year, $10 million recompete award by the U.S. Space Force to provide orbital analysis (OA) subject matter expertise (SME) support. "Our experts work closely with their Space Force counterparts to increase Space Domain Awareness, protect Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) signals, and ensure the availability of Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) for national security decision-makers," said Roger Mason.

Peraton will help the Air Force Research Laboratory test the security of a cross-domain information collaboration and sharing platform through lab-based assessments.

Peraton has been awarded a $56 million task order by the U.S. Space Force's Commercial Satellite Communications Office to provide satcom services to U.S. Central Command, the company announced Thursday.

Dean Bellamy, senior director of space strategies and development at Peraton, told Politico in an interview published Friday he believes Congress needs to initiate action to better manage space traffic as more companies launch satellites into orbit.
