Adversaries aren't waiting. Neither should we. ⚡
The goal of rapid operations in the information Environment isn't speed at the expense of rigor — it's eliminating the dead time that has nothing to do with operational necessity. Serial reviews. Incomplete packets. Ambiguous ownership. Hours lost before a human ever makes a decision.
Peraton's IRIS-AI-Approval Automation Triad fixes that — compressing OIE trigger to tasking to 2–8 hours, with full legal review, risk assessment, and command approval intact.
The principle is simple: AI accelerates. Humans validate.
As Chris Stangle - retired U.S. Army PSYOP officer and former commander of the 4th Psychological Operations Group - states in this Breaking Defense article:
"At no point does AI make decisions. No AI-generated message reaches a target audience without human approval."

🔭 Peraton's Chief Technology Officer for the company's Space sector, Dr. Jes Kalmanson, took the stage at GEOINT 2026 this week to address the fundamental shift underway in how geospatial intelligence is collected, fused, and acted upon and what it means for mission owners and industry partners when the stakes are highest.
"The volume, velocity, and complexity of geospatial data has fundamentally changed what's possible. AI can now do things in seconds that used to take analysts hours."
The challenge isn't capability anymore. It's integration: at scale, at speed, across allied and mission partner networks with different data standards, classification requirements, and latency constraints.
"AI is the only thing that can fuse all of that fast enough to matter."
But Dr. Kalmanson made clear that the real inflection point comes when AI-enabled GEOINT earns something harder to build than technology:
Trust. 💡
Through rigorous tradecraft, resilient architecture, and transparent reasoning until a commander acts on AI-generated intelligence without hesitation.
Because as she put it: "The people running the hardest missions right now aren't asking for more data. They're asking for intelligence they can act on, with confidence, at the speed the mission demands."
That's exactly what Peraton is delivering. 🔗

Most influence operations don't fail because the message was wrong. They fail because no one stress-tested the design before execution. 🧠
In a new piece published on Breaking Defense, Peraton's Chris Stangle (Colonel, U.S. Army, Retired) introduces the Eight-Factor Risk Framework, a two-stage methodology that treats risk as a design input built into cognitive operations from the very start, not a compliance step performed after planning is complete.
The framework gives planners and commanders a common language to evaluate operations across every dimension that matters:
🎯 Risk to Mission
🪖 Risk to Force
🤝 Risk to Partners
🌐 Risk to Strategy
🏛️ Risk to Reputation
👥 Risk to Target Audience
⏳ Risk of Inaction
✅ Risk of Success
That last factor is the most overlooked. It asks what happens when the operation works exactly as planned, because a successful operation can destabilize the conditions it was designed to improve, trigger adversary escalation, or expose methods that took years to develop.
As Stangle writes: "Risk is not a tax on effectiveness. It is the necessary framework that facilitates discussion between the influence planner and the commander."
This is the kind of practitioner-driven thinking that closes the gap between planning rigor and operational speed.

🔐 Identity isn't just a credential. It's the foundation of mission readiness.
At the 2026 Okta Government Identity Summit last week, Peraton's VP of Technology, Sam Yousef, addressed one of the most complex challenges in federal IT today: How do you give millions of users — across different agencies, missions, and systems — secure, seamless access without creating risk, friction, or blind spots?
The answer is modern, unified ICAM — built around identity, not a single credential.
Today's federal workforce is multi-layered. One person. Multiple roles. Multiple devices. When systems can't keep up, the gaps become vulnerabilities.
In partnership with Okta, Peraton is delivering capabilities that close those gaps at true enterprise scale — matching identity to attributes in real time. The result:
🔗 Smarter, context-aware access across systems
🛡️ Stronger security through real-time enforcement
⚡ Less friction for users operating across roles and environments
🚀 A better user experience — without compromising security
This approach is already in action! Peraton has been entrusted to enable modern identity solutions at the Department of War and the Department of Education — and is expanding across the federal enterprise. With every effort, the mission is the same: unify identity, eliminate silos, and give agencies the visibility and control they need.
The federal workforce is dynamic. ICAM must be too.
Peraton is proud to be at the forefront of this transformation — delivering secure, scalable, mission-ready identity for the modern federal enterprise. To learn more, visit: https://t.co/hU7ZA8aEJM

Peraton is proud to sponsor the NASCIO Midyear Conference being held this week in Philadelphia!
State CIOs are on the front lines of digital government, modernizing infrastructure, strengthening cybersecurity, and delivering services that citizens depend on every day.
NASCIO brings together the leaders driving that transformation, and Peraton is honored to be part of the conversation.
At Peraton, we believe the best outcomes happen when industry and government solve hard problems together. From AI-driven modernization to cybersecurity and cloud transformation, we bring deep expertise, shared accountability, and proven technology solutions that state governments can rely on to deliver critical services to their citizens.
Some of the most important voices in American aviation were in the same room this week for a historic conversation. ✈️🇺🇸
At the Modern Skies Summit, Chairman & CEO Steve Schorer joined Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford as the nation got a firsthand look at the progress being made on the most important modernization effort in American history.
Justin Ciaccio, who oversees Peraton's modernization effort, took the stage alongside FAA CTO Rebecca Guy to detail how America's Brand New Air Traffic Control System is being built. And not in the 10 to 20 years it would normally take, but within three years.
As Justin put it: "Peraton has been solving the government's hardest problems for 125 years - that’s half the entire history of this country. We were built exactly for this moment."
And the progress speaks for itself:
🔌 Wires: Nearly 2,400 of 5,100 connections already underway - replacing copper lines from the 1960s with fiber, satellite, and wireless
📻 Communications: 250+ of 1,600 radio sites already complete — upgrading equipment that is decades old
📡 Radars: Surface awareness systems are live at 54 sites; surface movement radars are complete in Houston, underway in San Diego, New Orleans & Newark
📋 Electronic Flight Strips: Live at 17 of 89 sites with controllers having modern tools to monitor flights
Powering it all: Peraton’s agentic AI analyzing 1.5 million records every single day — with 5.7 million schedule and resource records already ingested. Tasks that once took days or weeks? Done in minutes or seconds.
As Justin said, "We are taking airspace technology from dial-up to gig-speed."
And the most important part: this technology does not replace people. It makes them superhuman.
The AI handles the data. People make the decisions. Together, we deliver.
And we are just getting started. 🛫
