Perceptronics Solutions, Inc.

Perceptronics Solutions, Inc., a Sherman Oaks, California-based small business specializing in artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies for defense applications, operates as a prime contractor on 98% of its federal awards, predominantly competing under the total small business set-aside category across SBIR and STTR programs. The company is the child entity of a parent corporate structure also named Perceptronics Solutions, Inc., based in El Segundo, California.

Perceptronics delivers concrete R&D capabilities in autonomous systems, sensor development, data fusion, cognitive intelligence, and machine learning applied to defense modernization. Its portfolio spans infrared sensor enhancement, airborne radio sustainment modernization, unmanned aircraft system full-motion video optimization, ethical autonomous weapons calibration, intelligent threat detection, scenario development for military exercises, and dense urban network modeling for decision support. Representative prime work includes a $1.9 million SBIR Phase III contract from Air Force Materiel Command awarded September 2025 for airborne radio sustainment modernization (completion March 2027); a $2.0 million SBIR Phase II contract from the Department of the Army awarded September 2024 for scenario development and enhancement for military exercises (completion September 2026); a $1.97 million SBIR Phase II contract from Naval Sea Systems Command awarded June 2025 for Space-Based Infrared System advanced technology development (completion December 2026); and an $1.8 million SBIR Phase II contract from Air Force Research Laboratory awarded November 2024 for machine learning-based cognitive intelligence in radar functionality (completion November 2026).

Perceptronics has logged 152 total awards since 2003, with combined potential value of $104.5 million and $98.7 million obligated (94% of potential). Customer concentration runs heavily toward Army and Navy R&D commands. The top five funding agencies account for 71% of award count: the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command leads with 35 awards and $27.7 million in potential value; the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research follows with 27 awards and $15.6 million; the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency carries 16 awards and $12.6 million; Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory holds 19 awards and $12.2 million; and Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center brings 11 awards and $4.9 million. Across potential value, the same agencies dominate, with only minor reordering of rank three through five. The top customer and dollar concentration tracks closely, signaling that the Army and Navy are both high-volume and high-dollar customers.

Activity has declined year over year in the source data window: nine awards in 2021, thirteen in 2022, seven in 2023, six in 2024, and five in 2025 through early November. Ten awards carrying combined potential value of $15 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure. NAICS concentration skews research-heavy: 66 awards fall under general R&D in physical, engineering, and life sciences, with 53 further refined to exclude nanotechnology and biotechnology. PSC concentration reflects applied defense R&D dominance, with 37 awards coded to applied research and exploratory development and 21 to applied research and basic research categories.

Perceptronics operates with minimal subcontract footprint; three sub-awards represent only 2% of its portfolio. Two of those subs are routed through Infoscitex under the NASA Ames Research Center Consolidated Information Technology Services contract, supporting human-machine interface development and technology integration (awarded October 2023 and October 2022). The source identifies the company as having collaborated with Leidos on prior work but does not specify active subcontracts under that relationship in the current portfolio window.

Perceptronics Solutions, Inc. is a newly formed R&D company focused on the methods and technologies by which distributed groups of individuals can optimize the purposeful, real-time performance of collaborative tasks.
