    EP8 - The Battle of Influence

    Guest: Shawn Chenoweth Preventing war requires more than just military strength—it takes a comprehensive strategy where words can be as powerful as weapons. While our military might make enemies think twice before acting, strategic messaging can shape perceptions and prevent conflicts before they even start.   In this final episode, we talk with Shawn Chenoweth, who has spent most of his career delivering the right messages to the right people, diffusing tensions, and preventing bloodshed. From the Cold War to the present day, the methods of spreading pro-democratic ideals have evolved, but the importance of winning the battle of ideas has higher stakes than ever. Shawn shares how Peraton continues to adapt these strategies to secure freedom and democracy in our modern age, ensuring that the message of peace and open society resonates worldwide.

    EP5 - Modernizing the Military's Database

    Guest: Tony Patillo 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.

    EP7 - Storing and Securing Data for America's Critical Agencies

    Guest: Rob Davies 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 is 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.

    Guest: Sergei Li During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, did you ever stop to wonder how we knew where the hotspots were?
