From real-time media monitoring to influence campaign planning, Peraton IRIS supports the full analytical lifecycle — transforming multi-source data into clear, actionable intelligence at the speed operations demand.

“Peraton has long understood that the information environment is not a secondary theater: it is a primary one. Peraton IRIS represents the convergence of artificial intelligence and real-time data integration,” said Tom Afferton, president of Peraton’s Cyber and Intelligence Sector. “Combined with deep operational expertise, Peraton IRIS is a single platform that empowers our analysts, planners, graphics illustrators, researchers, and most importantly, operators, to stay ahead of adversary narratives, counter their messaging at scale, and support mission success across every domain. In an era of cognitive warfare, speed and clarity of understanding are decisive advantages, and Peraton IRIS delivers both.”

As adversaries increasingly weaponize information to erode public trust, manipulate perceptions, and undermine democratic institutions, Peraton IRIS equips operators and mission planners with the tools needed to detect, understand, and counter these threats at machine speed. The platform brings together continuously updated data sources into a single, intuitive interface that supports real-time decision-making across the full spectrum of information operations, according to the company.

Peraton IRIS orchestrates five of the nation’s most powerful AI models — and layers on top of them the mission data, domain context, and analytical workflows that turn raw AI capability into actionable national security intelligence. Peraton IRIS is vendor-agnostic, data agnostic, and contract-agnostic. The LLMs are powerful engines. Peraton IRIS is the vehicle — with the mission map, the fuel, and the driver already built in.

Peraton IRIS is designed around the realities of today’s information environment, where cognitive warfare —the deliberate targeting of human perception, belief systems, and decision-making—has emerged as one of the most consequential domains of modern conflict. Nation-state adversaries and non-state actors alike are deploying sophisticated influence campaigns, disinformation networks, and narrative manipulation strategies to achieve strategic objectives without firing a single shot.

Peraton IRIS addresses this challenge by providing advanced semantic search, natural language querying, sentiment trend analysis, and AI-assisted narrative tracking — enabling teams to identify influence operations in near real-time, map adversary messaging strategies, and develop data-driven counter-narratives. The platform’s cognitive warfare module supports Psychological Operations (PSYOP) and Information Operations (IO) planning and target audience analysis, giving commanders and planners an unprecedented edge in the battle for the information domain, the company said.

“What Peraton IRIS does is fundamentally change the relationship between the user and the data. Instead of spending hours aggregating information from disparate sources, operators can now ask complex, multi-layered questions in natural language and receive synthesized, citation-backed answers in seconds,” said Cliff Bean, senior director of cognitive warfare. “That shift — from data management to genuine insight generation — is what makes Peraton IRIS a force multiplier for every mission it supports.”

Already in the Beta Phase with clients, Summit 7 and Hypori are helping organizations in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) utilize mobile, virtual workspaces to ensure Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance and allow access to controlled unclassified information (CUI) data—further accelerating bring-your-own-device (BYOD) adoption by keeping sensitive data off mobile devices while maintaining personal privacy.

This partnership brings together Summit 7’s compliance expertise and Hypori’s virtual BYOD technology to help defense contractors:

• Securely access CUI and enterprise apps from any mobile device
• Exclude mobile devices from CMMC Level 2 assessment scope
• Reduce costs associated with managing corporate devices (e.g., phone plans, hardware refreshes, inventory management)
• Support mobility without compromising security

“At Summit 7, we’re focused on helping contractors meet compliance requirements in the most secure and efficient way possible,” said Scott Edwards, CEO of Summit 7. “Hypori enables secure mobile access without added risk or complexity—eliminating the need to carry multiple devices when accessing multiple Microsoft 365 tenants, whether through an enclave or virtual desktop implementation.”

“Summit 7 is a trusted name in the DIB when it comes to compliance. We’re excited to support their mission by making secure mobile access easier and more efficient for contractors,” said Wayne Lewandowski, Hypori’s chief revenue officer.

Bluescape’s virtual workspace accelerates mission progress by giving teams a place to synchronously gather information and analysis with military-grade security and serves as an operational single pane of glass for radiating insight across every echelon of the command hierarchy. Hosted in the Government Community Cloud, Bluescape is the only workspace SaaS solution authorized to operate at FedRAMP Moderate+ and by the U.S. DoD at IL4 for CUI data, empowering dispersed teams to bring, share and organize data and collaborate in a virtual workspace.

“This ATO is one of the first to follow new guidance aimed at resolving risk management and cybersecurity reciprocity challenges,” explained Norm Litterini, vice president of public sector channels and partners for Bluescape. “Reciprocity enables DoD to reuse another internal or external organization’s assessments to share information, reducing the time and investments involved with approving IT systems to operate on information networks. Failing to leverage reciprocity can lead to redundant and resource-intensive efforts.”
