Applied research is intrinsically a dynamic arena. Peraton Labs pursues and performs applied research in selected new and adjacent areas as part of our overall strategy of positioning to meet current and future customer needs. As just one example, we are leading a project under DARPA’s Fast Network Interface Cards (FastNICs) program, which aims to speed up complex computing applications, such as the distributed training of machine learning classifiers and video analysis applications, by 100x. Our FLEET (Fast Lanes for Expedited Execution at 10 Terabits) solution will develop new network interface hardware and associated system and programming software to manage and utilize the new hardware.

Examples of our research focus areas include:

    • 5G
    • Cybersecurity Research
    • Electronic Warfare
    • Internet of Things
    • Machine Learning & Data Analytics
    • Mobility
    • Optics, Photonics & Quantum
