# Peraton Targets DoD Modernization Work

Peraton is positioning AI-enabled enterprise program management, IT modernization, and defense engineering for growth across the Department of Defense, drawing on its **$1.5 billion** FAA air-traffic-control modernization work. The same procurement landscape includes a **$49 million** five-year Army enterprise contract awarded to Kaizen and a **$500 million** U.S.-U.K. deal with Tiberius Aerospace for the Sceptre precision-guided missile. Tariff uncertainty could affect allied defense cooperation, including U.S.-Canada NORAD and Golden Dome efforts.

- Contractors offering AI-supported program management, modernization, prototyping, or engineering can evaluate how their capabilities align with DoD customer needs; Peraton’s FAA work is a relevant example of large-scale modernization experience.
- The Army and U.S.-U.K. awards show opportunities across both enterprise services and defense manufacturing. Companies should assess where they can compete as primes or support delivery through subcontracting and supply chains.
- Organizations involved in cross-border defense work should account for the reported tariff uncertainty when assessing allied programs and supplier exposure.
