Peraton has opened a 27,000-square-foot facility in Huntsville as part of its ongoing expansion. Located in the Redstone Gateway complex, the facility serves multiple federal customers, including the Defense Intelligence Agency/Missile and Space Intelligence Center, U.S. Army, FBI, Missile Defense Agency, and NASA. It features a 12,000-square-foot Secure Compartmentalized Information Facility (SCIF) to support high-security operations.
Enhancing federal support with advanced capabilities
The new facility strengthens Peraton’s ability to provide cutting-edge solutions to federal agencies. Its SCIF space ensures secure operations, while its location near key defense and aerospace partners enables seamless collaboration. As national security needs evolve, Peraton remains focused on delivering mission-critical services to its customers.
Additionally, the facility’s proximity to major government agencies allows for faster response times. This strategic advantage helps Peraton stay ahead in supporting defense and intelligence missions.
Investing in Huntsville’s workforce and economy
Peraton’s growth in Huntsville brings more career opportunities. The company already employs 200 people in the Huntsville-Madison County area. With new positions opening, more jobs will become available in the coming months.
“This facility strengthens our ability to serve customers and creates an environment for innovation and collaboration,” said Steve Schorer, Peraton’s chairman, president, and CEO. “We’re proud to contribute to the local economy by bringing new opportunities to Huntsville and its skilled workforce.”
Moreover, Huntsville’s expanding technology sector makes it an attractive location for businesses. Peraton’s investment further establishes the city as a thriving hub for defense and innovation.
Huntsville’s role as a leading tech and defense hub
The Redstone Gateway complex, home to major defense and aerospace contractors, provides an ideal setting for Peraton’s operations. Congressman Dale Strong (R-AL) emphasized the significance of the company’s presence. He stated, “This new facility shows just how important Huntsville has become in supporting key federal projects. Partnerships like this create jobs, boost our economy, and play a vital role in national security and technology advancements.”
Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle also praised the expansion. He highlighted the city’s growing economy and its reputation as a leader in technology and defense. Likewise, Madison County Commission Chairman Mac McCutchen noted that Peraton’s investment reinforces Huntsville’s status as a hub for high-tech industries.
By expanding in Huntsville, Peraton aligns with federal efforts to enhance national security, optimize taxpayer resources, and drive technological advancements. The company remains committed to supporting both military and civilian workforces while delivering mission-critical solutions to government partners.
