HERNDON, Va., June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Peraton has been awarded task order CTC0331, a $56 million contract under the Future Commercial SATCOM Acquisition (FCSA) program, administered by the U.S. Space Force Commercial Satellite Communications Office (CSCO). The newly awarded contract provides commercial satellite communications services for the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).

Under the contract, Peraton will provide mission support for mobile platforms, as well as emergent and contingency mission directives.
