mmWave Modules Optimized for Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) Requirements Enabling Battlefield Drone Applications
SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 14, 2026 / Peraso Inc. (NASDAQ:PRSO) (“Peraso” or the “Company”) today announced the delivery of an initial limited production shipment of its proprietary 60GHz modules to Israeli defense contractor InTACT, marking an important production readiness milestone for the Company’s technology.
Optimized for military Identification Friend or Foe (“IFF”) applications, including infantry and drone deployments, the integrated solution combines Peraso’s advanced hardware with specialized software implementing InTACT’s IFF protocol. The system also incorporates power reduction algorithms critical for battery-operated platforms.
InTACT is engaged with potential customers for its drone IFF systems.
“There is an immediate demand for an IFF system like this and Peraso’s technical team has done an outstanding job of adapting our technology for military applications,” said Ronald Glibbery, CEO of Peraso. “We’ve significantly reduced the size, weight, and power (SWaP) of these new products to enable battery-powered operation for both drone and warfighter IFF use cases. I’m proud of our team for bringing Peraso’s technology to production readiness in such a short timeframe.”
SWaP are critical considerations for any IFF system. Peraso and InTACT engineers worked collaboratively to define system requirements and optimize both the module hardware and associated software, resulting in a solution purpose-built for military applications. Additionally, the Peraso module incorporates beamforming antenna technology, offering a lower probability of detection in battlefield environments compared to traditional radio frequency approaches.
“We’re proud of the relationship we’ve developed with Peraso since 2024,” stated Meir Rappart, CEO of InTACT. “Our system knowledge, coupled with Peraso’s 60GHz semiconductor and related software expertise, have yielded what we believe to be a significant advancement in IFF technology.”
InTACT’s IFF solution, powered by Peraso’s mmWave semiconductor chips, offers several key advantages for tactical communications systems, including:
-
Highly directional beamforming communications
-
Low probability of detection and interception
-
Low-power consumption for battery-operated platforms
-
Compact integration for drones and soldier-borne systems
Peraso and InTACT have collaborated for more than two years to develop the technology used to deploy tactical drone IFF applications. To learn more about Peraso’s mmWave solutions, please visit www.perasoinc.com.
