Peraso (NASDAQ: PRSO) Jam-Resistant 60GHz Module Drives Paradigm Shifts Across Military Defense, Drones, eVTOL and Autonomous Systems

Just another WordPress site

Summary

Peraso Inc. has released the PRM2145, a compact 60 GHz millimeter-wave module aimed at unmanned aerial vehicles, electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, and other autonomous platforms. The device addresses growing data demands from onboard sensors, cameras, and computing systems by supplying gigabit-class throughput and low latency in environments where conventional sub-6 GHz links encounter congestion, interference, and limited spectrum.

The module is built to meet strict size, weight, and power constraints typical of airborne platforms. It supports command-and-control links, high-definition video streams, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance feeds, identification friend-or-foe signaling, and drone-to-drone networking. Directional beamforming concentrates energy into narrow beams rather than omnidirectional broadcasts, reducing the probability of intercept or detection while increasing resistance to jamming and electronic warfare.

Peraso positions the PRM2145 as an extension of its existing 60 GHz technology beyond fixed wireless access into defense and tactical communications. Customer evaluation units are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026, with broader adoption dependent on integration testing and compliance with defense procurement standards. The approach reflects a broader shift in which secure, high-capacity wireless links become a limiting factor for increasingly autonomous and sensor-rich aerial systems.

Why it matters

High-bandwidth, jam-resistant communication is a critical infrastructure enabler for deploying AI-driven autonomous systems and edge computing in contested military environments. Defense technologists and AI engineers can leverage such mmWave modules to ensure reliable data transfer for ISR and drone-to-drone networking.
