The Peter Thiel-founded artificial intelligence company Palantir said on Friday that it’s rolling out its first two AI systems to the US Army.

Palatir won a $178 million contract in March 2024. It has promised to deliver 10 total systems for this contract, all under the name TITAN, the Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node. TITAN is a mobile ground station meant to use AI to assist with warfare strategy and strike targeting.

Palantir, largely a software-focused company, isn’t executing the contract alone. It partnered with Northrop Grumman and L3Harris, as well as the autonomous systems startup Anduril, founded by Palmer Luckey, to help with TITAN. The systems are packed into the backs of trucks, allowing soldiers to make AI-informed decisions wherever they are.

The US Department of Defense has ramped up its procurement of AI technology in the past year. On Wednesday, the Pentagon announced a new multimillion-dollar contract with Scale AI for a project called Thunderforge to assist military decision-making. With China’s increased AI ambitions staring the United States in the face, expect military contracts for AI to only increase in the months to come.
