Peraton actively participates in multiple OTA consortia, including C5, IWRP, MSTIC, NSTIC, and SpEC, collaborating with industry and academia to develop and prototype advanced technologies across domains such as cyberspace operations, information warfare, maritime sustainment, naval surface technology, and space enterprise capabilities.
Consortium for Command, Control, and Communications in Cyberspace (C5)
C5 is a nonprofit consortium composed of leading companies and institutions in the C4ISR and cyber technology domains. Unlike other OTA consortia, C5 serves as both the consortium manager and contract administrator, providing an independent, transparent single interface between members and the government.
The scope of C5 encompasses all of the following: Offensive and Defensive Cyberspace Operations, Situational Understanding, C4ISR and Targeting, System of Systems Architecture, Tactical and Strategic Networks, Enterprise Systems, Software and Hardware Technologies, Systems Integration, Electronic Warfare, Positioning, Navigation and Timing, Information Operations, Intelligence Analysis, Exploitation and Dissemination, Mobility, Autonomy and Sensors.
Information Warfare Research Project (IWRP)
IWRP engages industry and academia to develop and mature technologies in the field of Information Warfare that enhance Navy and Marine Corps mission effectiveness, focusing on underlying technologies that advance information warfare capabilities through a consortium that can support research, development and prototyping.
Maritime Sustainment Technology & Innovation Consortium (MSTIC)
The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) has established MSTIC. This collaboration team is focused on innovative sustainment solutions to effectively address current and future security threats in maritime environments. MSTIC engages industry and academia to develop and mature technologies in the field of Maritime Sustainment that enhance the Navy’s mission effectiveness. MSTIC is a consortium of premier traditional and non-traditional government contractors, small and large businesses, for-profit and not-for-profit entities, and academic organizations to perform R&D prototyping efforts in the following technology areas.
Naval Surface Technology & Innovation Consortium (NSTIC)
NSTIC supports naval surface technology innovation through a consortium that researches, develops, tests, and integrates complex naval warfare systems across a broad range of technology areas and disciplines.
Space Enterprise Consortium (SpEC)
SpEC builds partnerships between commercial industry, the civil space sector, and others to leverage increased flexibility and agility, reduce cost, improve technology and capability insertion, and decrease cycles in the development and deployment of next generation space technologies. SpEC collaboration and prototype development reduces risk and increases constellation refresh rates to improve the availability of new technology on-orbit, and improve system responsiveness and survivability. The goals emphasize more frequent, regularly scheduled launches and spacecraft designed to fit on standardized launchers with standardized interfaces for faster, more predictable access to space.
