Army Selects Palantir to Build TITAN Program Competitive Prototype
June 28 2022 - 4:30PM
Business Wire
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR) announced today that it
is one of two companies awarded a prime contract by the Army to
build a prototype for the Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access
Node (TITAN), the first Intelligence ground station enabled by
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML). The $36
million contract award is for the competitive prototyping phase
that will span 14 months.
The TITAN program brings together a variety of systems,
technologies, and vendors to ensure scalability. Palantir’s Modular
Open System Architecture (MOSA) will be the critical backbone that
provides correlation, fusion, and integration of sensor data
alongside insights from AI/ML overlaid at the tactical edge. With
TITAN, the Army will be able to merge varied data from a rapidly
proliferating series of sensors, enabling frontline forces to gain
situational awareness and make real-time decisions at
transformative speeds. This effort is a critical enabler that
advances the Army towards JADC2 and deters the near-peer
threat.
“Now more than ever, the Nation’s warriors and allies are being
asked to make more decisions, at a faster speed, with more
available data,” said Aki Jain, President of Palantir USG. “TITAN
is the crucial combination of the Defense Industry’s best
technology from both emerging and enduring DOD partners, and we’re
proud to serve as a non-traditional prime contractor for this
effort.”
This award is a successful progression of the Army’s competitive
software-centric approach to the January 2021 design phase of the
TITAN Program in which both Palantir and Raytheon were selected for
a 12-month competitive effort. Both vendors will build a prototype
in the next phase for evaluation and testing by soldiers and the
community. As a non-traditional prime contractor, Palantir is
committed in its approach to partnering with the nation’s best
traditional and non-traditional partners like Anduril Industries,
L3 Harris, Pacific Defense, Sierra Nevada Corporation, Strategic
Technology Consulting, and World Wide Technology to build open and
interoperable systems for the military operator at lower cost
points. Palantir’s MOSA approach allows for easy integration of
vendor capabilities, like SpaceX’s Starlink system or Forcepoint’s
security offerings, to be quickly onboarded and offboarded as
needed, ensuring the seamless collection and sharing of
Intelligence across the Army, Joint Force, and Intelligence
community from Joint, Space, Aerial, and terrestrial sensors.
