Peraton

Peraton was established and has grown due to acquisitions made by New York-based private-equity firm Veritas Capital. In 2017, Veritas acquired Harris Corporation's government IT services division and renamed it Peraton. In 2019, Peraton acquired Solers, Inc.; the terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. In 2021, Veritas acquired the federal IT and mission support business of Northrop Grumman for $3.4 billion. In May 2021, Perspecta (a 2018 merger of DXC Technology's U.S. public sector spin-off, Vencore, Inc., and KeyPoint Government Solutions), was acquired by Veritas for $7.1 billion and placed under Peraton. Peraton was awarded a $2.69 billion contract by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security concerning Data Center and Cloud Optimization Support Services. Peraton also captured a $1B contract from the Pentagon to counter "misinformation". Despite loss of business due to the reorganization of the US government in President Trump's second term, Peraton is still maintaining existing and receiving new government contracts. They have been chosen as the recipients of a $31.5 billion contract to modernize the FAA's Air Traffic Control System. ==References==
