Key Highlights
- InTACT, a defense contractor based in Israel, has chosen Peraso’s 60 GHz millimeter-wave technology for a military-grade drone Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system.
- The platform enables military personnel on the ground to verify whether drones are friendly or hostile through mutual authentication protocols.
- Peraso delivers beamforming transceivers that provide low-power, directional communication with enhanced resistance to detection and jamming.
- The collaboration between Peraso and InTACT spans more than two years, with a primary focus on tactical drone identification capabilities.
- PRSO stock climbed as much as 115% during Friday’s session and continued rising over 33% in Monday’s pre-market hours.
Friday proved to be a breakthrough day for Peraso Inc. (PRSO). The semiconductor company headquartered in California experienced a dramatic stock surge, climbing as high as 115% intraday following the announcement that its 60 GHz millimeter-wave technology would power a military drone identification system.

InTACT, a defense contractor operating out of Israel, forms the other half of this partnership. InTACT selected Peraso’s chip technology to serve as the foundation for its Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) drone platform — a system designed to help military personnel rapidly determine whether approaching drones pose a threat or represent allied forces.
The collaboration between these two companies extends beyond two years. This latest announcement represents a significant milestone in their relationship, signaling the technology’s progression toward real-world military applications.
PRSO shares rose more than 96% during Friday’s pre-market session before the rally intensified to 115% intraday. The stock settled at day’s end with gains exceeding 86%. Monday’s pre-market trading brought an additional 33% increase.
Technical Capabilities of the System
Peraso’s 60 GHz beamforming transceivers serve as the core hardware component within InTACT’s IFF system. These chips establish a short-range, directional wireless connection linking drones with personnel on the ground.
The directional characteristics of this signal provide crucial advantages. The technology resists detection and interception in contested electronic warfare scenarios — the precise environments where this system will operate.
Through mutual authentication protocols, ground units can verify in real time whether an approaching drone represents friendly forces. This capability delivers significant operational advantages in combat zones saturated with drone activity.
CEO Ron Glibbery characterized the technology as “designed to provide a secure, directional communications channel ideally suited for these environments.”
Financial Performance Context
Peraso entered this announcement period on an upward trajectory. The company reported Q3 fiscal 2025 revenue (ending September 2025) of $3.2 million, representing a 45% increase over the previous quarter.
Millimeter wave products drove this growth — the identical product category featured in the InTACT agreement.
Total earnings for the quarter declined 16% year-over-year, falling to $3.2 million from $3.84 million in the comparable prior-year period.
Design wins in the defense sector carry substantial implications for micro-cap semiconductor companies. Military deployment contracts typically generate more investor interest than commercial agreements.
InTACT has kept financial details of the partnership confidential. The announcement contained no contract value figures or revenue forecasts.
Peraso confirmed its beamforming transceiver technology has reached production readiness and will serve as the hardware foundation for InTACT’s platform. The companies have yet to announce specific deployment schedules.
Monday’s pre-market trading showed PRSO up more than 33% following Friday’s closing gains of 86%.
