Peraton has been selected by the U.S. Army as one of ten companies eligible to support its Deployable Adaptive Global Responder Support (DAGRS) program. The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicle contract is valued up to $480 million during a five-year period.

Under the contract, Peraton will provide coordination and technology-based solutions, including research and development, and technology readiness—design, development and operational integration of equipment and systems among the Armed Services of the United States and allied countries.
