National security solutions and technologies provider Peraton has received an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract from the U.S. Air Force to continue its work performing software analysis and testing for the Minuteman III ICBM System.
The contract is worth up to $360 million over an 18-year period.
Under the follow-on contract, Peraton will continue to provide independent verification of safety criteria for the Minuteman III operational software.
For over 45 years, Peraton has partnered with the Air Force and Defense Department to support the Minuteman III systems, said Tom Afferton, Peraton president of the cyber mission sector.
“Our team’s strong system knowledge and deep experience in static and dynamic code analysis and software testing allows us to deliver best-in-class capabilities to the Air Force,” he added.
Peraton will continue to leverage digital simulators and emulators it has developed to allow for testing of Minuteman III software as it is delivered without disrupting the readiness of the system vital to national security.
Contract work will primarily be performed in Layton, Utah, and El Segundo, California.
