Peraso’s 60 GHz mmWave Chips Power InTACT Drone Identification System
Peraso’s 60 GHz millimeter-wave semiconductor technology was selected by Israeli defense contractor InTACT for a new Identification Friend or Foe drone system operating in contested electronic warfare environments. Peraso’s 60 GHz beamforming transceivers provide highly directional, low-power links that reduce detection and interception risk in dense drone environments.
1. Technology Selection and System Application
InTACT chose Peraso’s 60 GHz millimeter-wave semiconductors to power its next-generation drone Identification Friend or Foe system. The platform is designed to authenticate drones and ground units in electronic warfare settings, addressing the need for rapid identification to prevent friendly-fire incidents and enhance battlefield coordination.
2. Features of 60 GHz mmWave Transceivers
Peraso’s beamforming transceivers operate at 60 GHz to establish narrow, highly directional links that minimize signal leakage. Their low-power design supports battery-operated drones and soldier-borne devices while reducing the probability of detection or jamming in dense electromagnetic environments.
3. Strategic Implications for Peraso
This agreement builds on more than two years of collaboration and marks a significant entry into the defense sector for Peraso. The deployment of its mmWave chips in military applications could diversify revenue streams and strengthen the company’s position in secure tactical communications markets.
