Peraso Inc. announced that its 60 GHz millimeter-wave semiconductor technology has been selected by Israeli defense contractor InTACT for use in a new drone Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system designed to operate in highly contested electronic warfare environments. The IFF system enables secure identification between drones and ground forces, allowing counter-drone systems and battlefield operators to determine whether aerial platforms are friendly or hostile.

Why it matters

As modern battlefields become increasingly saturated with unmanned systems, the ability to quickly and reliably identify friendly drones has become a critical operational requirement for military forces. Peraso's 60 GHz mmWave tech provides the communications backbone for InTACT's IFF system, enabling secure, directional links that are resilient to detection and jamming in dense electronic warfare environments.

The details

At the core of the IFF system, Peraso's 60 GHz beamforming wireless transceivers provide the communications backbone for highly directional, low-power links that reduce the likelihood of detection or interception. The platform is designed to operate reliably in contested electromagnetic environments, where traditional radio communications can be easily detected or jammed. InTACT's IFF solution offers several key advantages, including highly directional beamforming, low probability of detection and interception, low power consumption, and compact integration for drones and soldier-borne systems.

  • Peraso and InTACT have collaborated for more than two years to develop the technology used in the tactical drone identification applications.
