Palantir wins $178M Army deal for TITAN artificial intelligence-enabled ground stations
Summary
TITAN is considered a critical modernization component for the Army’s multi-domain operations (MDO) concept because it will integrate various types of data from numerous platforms to help commanders make sense of a fast-moving and complex battlefield. “It’s a larger truck-based platform, incorporates a data center, more or less on the back, as well as a shelter that allows soldiers to be in there operating on multiple classified networks,” he explained. Artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities are expected to help process that information and provide “real-time actionable intelligence.” “I think it really is going to be demonstrating for the first time what it means to incorporate AI into the decision-making in a platform like this for the Army. Palantir is working with its partners on the program to provide the appropriate compute, power, shelter, assembly, and capabilities, in addition to the AI and the software functions, he noted. Gen. Wayne “Ed” Barker, the Army’s program executive officer for intelligence, electronic warfare and sensors, told reporters during a media call in December.
