A mission to the moon is a milestone that all of humanity can take pride in.

As we prepare for the next historic moment when humans return to the moon’s surface, Peraton will play a critical and fundamental role, harnessing the top scientific and engineering minds in the world to make this ambitious mission a reality. For decades, Peraton’s team has been the foundation of communication for both deep space and near-space missions.

Trust is the cornerstone of effective government, and that trust starts with the people who show up every day to serve our nation. With nearly 4.5 million Americans holding security clearances, the stakes are high—these are the individuals trusted with our most sensitive national secrets. But how do we ensure that those who protect our nation are truly trustworthy?
In this episode, we explore Peraton’s role in conducting background investigations for the federal government. A process that ensures agencies—from the intelligence community to the defense department—are staffed with individuals who uphold the highest standards of integrity.
We speak with Natalie Nencioni, who has dedicated her career to this fascinating line of work. We’ll take you behind the scenes as she shares her journey and the impact of her investigations, making sure that those we rely on to keep our government running are people we can truly trust.

[H4] Modernizing the Military’s Database with Tony Patillo

[H4] Tony Patillo
As Senior Director of Strategic Innovation under the Technology & Engineering function of SIG, Tony is the Mission Capability Lead (MCL) for Tradecraft.
In the movies, warfighters on tactical missions can pull up vast amounts of data at the snap of a finger. In reality, providing troops with accurate and relevant information has always been more complicated—but that’s about to change. Tony Patillo has dedicated decades of research and time into developing a program designed to give those serving our country the information they need at the speed of mission.
When the stakes are highest—when a threat is imminent or an ally is in danger—every second counts. The modernized integrated database (MIDB) was built in the early 1990s as the central intelligence repository. The platform had its share challenges, and in 2018 the Defense Intelligence Agency began a “once in a generation happening” to modernize and improve MIDB. The integrated system not only detects where threats originate but also communicates a clear, updated situational picture that works under the toughest conditions. Using transforming all-source analysis with location-based objective services (TALOS) and the machine assisted analytic rapid reporting system (MARS), Peraton is change the way military professionals share information and intelligence securely, swiftly, and at scale.
Tony is on the cusp of making things a whole lot more like the movies, ensuring that the difference between success and catastrophe is brought to minimum, and that America and its Allies have the support they need in the most dangerous, time-sensitive situations.

[H4] Sergei Li
Sergei, Vice President of Public Health, leads the CDC team that designed the COVID vaccination card.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, did you ever stop to wonder how we knew where the hotspots were? The answer lies in the immense amount of data that needed to be collected, organized, and analyzed to provide the CDC with accurate, life-saving information. At the heart of this work was Sergei Li, a veteran in this industry who has taken up the fight against some of the world’s most dangerous outbreaks over the past 25 years.
From the early 2000 Anthrax scare to the ongoing battle against HIV/AIDS and the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19, Sergei’s career has been defined by his relentless efforts to manage chaos with precision. First with the CDC and now with Peraton, Sergei and his team have been instrumental in working to inform the public about pandemic hotspots, facilitating vaccine rollouts, and shaping long-term strategies to prevent the spread of diseases like HIV.
In this episode, we explore Sergei Li’s extraordinary journey, delving into how Peraton’s data-driven approach has helped protect countless lives—from acts of terrorism to global health crises—and continues to make the world a safer place.

[H4] Storing and Securing Data for America’s Critical Agencies with Rob Davies
Listen Now

[IMG: Rob Davies]
[H4] Rob Davies
As VP and GM of Peraton’s Financial and Regulatory Business within the CSPS sector, Rob supports the BU responsible for most of the civilian federal government.
Imagine if the IRS still relied on file cabinets and fax machines. While it might not be the flashiest topic, having a dependable and efficient operating system is what makes it possible for the government to serve its people effectively. Every time you apply for a home loan, receive your tax return, or file a patent, you benefit from a system that, by and large, just works—a feat that’s anything but small.
In this episode, we sit down with Rob Davies to explore how Peraton ensures that these critical operations remain smooth and secure. While much attention is given to protecting our leaders and monitoring potential threats, the backbone of a functional government lies in data security and operational efficiency. Rob shares how Peraton is not only keeping these systems secure but continuously working to make them even better, safeguarding the sensitive information that keeps our country running.
