WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Shield AI, the defense technology company building
autonomy for the world, has announced it is expanding its work
with Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR), a leading
provider of AI systems, to develop and deliver large-scale command
and control of autonomous uncrewed systems, including operations in
GPS- and communications-denied environments. With Warp Speed,
Palantir's manufacturing OS for American re-industrialization,
Shield AI is doubling down on its commitment to delivering
scalable, AI-powered solutions to protect service members and
civilians.
By leveraging Shield AI's advanced Hivemind software development
kit, along with Palantir's suite of powerful software
solutions—including enterprise resource planning, geospatial
intelligence, and operational decision-making tools—the partnership
combines the strengths of both companies to address the most
critical defense challenges.
"Shield AI and Palantir have both built technology products proven
in the most demanding environments," said Brandon Tseng, Shield AI's President,
Co-founder, and former Navy SEAL. "Our partnership is about
bringing together Palantir's software dominance and Shield AI's
expertise in autonomy to deliver the best possible outcomes for
customers. It's exciting to scale up what we've been working on
together in this next chapter of our partnership."
This announcement builds on work Shield AI and Palantir
showcased at the Association of the U.S. Army's (AUSA) Annual
Meeting and Expo in October, where the companies demonstrated the
integration of Shield AI's Hivemind with Palantir's Gaia. This
integration created a unified command-and-control system for
autonomous systems. Hivemind's proven autonomy
capabilities—demonstrated on platforms like the V-BAT, F-16,
MQM-178 Firejet, and Nova quadcopter—now seamlessly integrate with
Gaia's geospatial intelligence tools, enabling real-time mission
execution and precision targeting.
"The American Industrial Base needs Warp Speed," said
Shyam Sankar, Palantir's Chief
Technology Officer and Executive Vice President. "Shield AI stands
out in their field, having achieved mission impact and product
results where others have struggled. This partnership, and Shield
AI's deploying of our newly announced manufacturing OS will enable
faster and better delivery to customers, and ultimately aid in the
defense of the West."
