AI is set to integrate into US Army cyber pipelines to boost training and streamline operations.

Peraton has received a contract from the US Army Cyber Command to advance GHOSTCREW, a program that uses an AI-assisted platform to speed up training and penetration testing for cyber operators.

The effort is being developed alongside the Cyber Fusion Innovation Center, a joint initiative of the US Army Cyber Technology and Innovation Center.

GHOSCREW embeds AI directly into operator workflows, allowing it to monitor activity and provide real-time, context-based guidance.

Instead of relying on manual data input, the platform suggests tools, methods, and broader strategies as tasks unfold.

By learning from user behavior and trusted sources, the system builds a living knowledge base to sharpen speed and accuracy in future operations.

“The GHOSTCREW project embodies what can be done today in human machine teaming,” said Todd Borkey, Peraton’s chief technology officer. “Embedding advanced AI directly into cyber operator workflows presents a massive gain in how we train, fight, and defend.”

Latest Contracts

Peraton has steadily expanded its government portfolio with major awards across cyberspace, intelligence, and security missions.

Last year, the company won an $889-million contract to provide cyberspace operations support for the US Army Cyber Command and its mission partners.

The work included program management, planning, and intelligence aimed at strengthening decision-making in the cyber domain.

In 2023, the US Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency awarded the Virginia-based firm a $2.2-billion deal to conduct nationwide background investigations for federal employees, contractors, and military personnel.

In 2022, Peraton secured a $254-million contract with the US Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service to bolster cybersecurity operations, covering threat analysis, monitoring, and technology development.
