About Palantir Technologies

Updated 2026-09-04

Palantir Technologies is a leading software company providing data analytics and artificial intelligence platforms for defense, intelligence, and space operations. The company's AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) technologies enable the structuring, labeling, and preparation of defense data for AI training at all classification levels, including Secure Compartmented Information and Special Access Programs.

Palantir developed MetaConstellation, a satellite network supporting AI model deployment for enhanced space domain awareness. The Gotham platform enables intelligence analysts to access satellite imagery, predict vessel routes, and detect weapon systems through AI-enhanced analysis. Via the Maven Smart System, Pentagon officials leverage technology enabling Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2), connecting platforms, sensors, and data streams across the U.S. military and international partners.

The company's TITAN (Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node) mobile ground station for AI applications was developed with Anduril Industries and Northrop Grumman, improving long-range precision strike capabilities with 10 units contracted for the U.S. Army. Palantir has designed multiple AI models tracking objects in Earth's orbit, detecting satellite maneuvers and classifying space object propulsion.

In August 2024, Palantir and Microsoft announced partnership to bring sophisticated cloud, AI, and analytics capabilities to classified networks, deploying Foundry, Gotham, Apollo, and AIP in Azure Government, Azure Government Secret, and Top Secret clouds. In November 2024, the Navy awarded Palantir a nearly $1 billion software contract. With Q4 2024 revenue growing 36% year-over-year, Palantir continues expanding AI capabilities for national security and space operations.
