Peraso Inc. announced that its 60 GHz millimeter‑wave semiconductor technology has been selected by InTACT, an Israeli defense contractor, for a next‑generation Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system for unmanned aerial vehicles. The selection marks the first deployment of Peraso’s narrow‑beam, low‑power, stealthy mmWave technology in a critical defense application.
The contract, announced on March 6 2026, does not disclose a financial value or a detailed deployment timeline. Peraso and InTACT have collaborated for over two years on tactical drone identification, indicating a mature development process leading to this design win.
The deal is a key milestone in Peraso’s strategic pivot away from legacy memory products toward high‑margin wireless solutions. The company has been expanding its presence in the military communications market, and this contract validates its technology in a contested electronic‑warfare environment.
Peraso’s mmWave portfolio has shown sequential growth, with Q3 2025 revenue of $3 million, up from $2.2 million in Q2 2025, and a gross margin of 56.2 %. The new defense contract is expected to accelerate revenue growth in the coming quarters, though the company remains unprofitable with negative net income in recent periods.
Management has highlighted the suitability of the technology for secure, directional communications. CEO Ron Glibbery noted that the narrow‑beam, low‑detection characteristics of the 60 GHz platform are ideal for drone IFF systems operating in contested environments.
Analysts have noted that the contract signals a broader trend of increasing demand for secure, low‑detection communication solutions in defense, and that Peraso’s focus on mmWave positions it well for future opportunities in fixed‑wireless access, autonomous vehicles, and professional video delivery.
