Anduril and Palantir to Accelerate AI Capabilities for National Security

Partnership will facilitate the flow of
national security data from the tactical edge to the cloud-based
enterprise
Palantir and Anduril, two leading companies at the intersection
of commercial technology and national security, are launching a new
consortium to ensure that the U.S. government leads the world in
artificial intelligence. Our goal is to deliver the technological
infrastructure, from the edge to the enterprise, that can enable
our government and industry partners to transform America’s
world-leading AI advancements into next-generation military and
national security capabilities.
This partnership is focused on solving two main problems that
limit the adoption of AI for national security purposes. The first
is data readiness. Most useful national security data— government
data that are collected and created by sensors, vehicles, weapons,
and robots at the tactical edge—are not retained for AI training
and algorithm development. Exabytes of defense data, indispensable
for AI training and inferencing, are currently evaporating. What
should be America’s ultimate asymmetric advantage over our
adversaries is instead our biggest lost opportunity.
To solve this, we will utilize Anduril’s Lattice software system
and the Anduril Menace family of deployable compute and
communications systems to instrument the tactical edge for the
government’s secure, large-scale data retention and distribution.
Lattice connects directly with third-party defense systems at the
edge, delivers autonomy to machine operations, securely distributes
their information across a large-scale data mesh, and backhauls all
tactical data into government enclaves for the purposes of AI
training and inferencing. Menace devices are also purpose-built for
the tactical edge, customized down to the silicon level for the
unique requirements of national security operations in tactical
environments—including, soon, next- generation encryption.
The second problem that we seek to solve exists when processing
data at scale. Even with national security data that are retained,
no secure enterprise pipeline exists to turn that data into AI
capabilities. U.S. companies are developing world-leading models
but struggling to deploy them at scale with government partners for
defense applications.
To solve that, we will utilize Palantir’s AI Platform (AIP) to
deliver a cloud-based data management and AI development capability
that operates at the hyper-scale of commercial industry while
meeting the unique requirements of national security. This will
enable the structuring, labeling, and preparation of defense data
for AI training and development at all levels of classification,
including Secure Compartmented Information (SCI) and Special Access
Programs (SAP). Palantir’s AIP provides a seamless interface for
commercial and government AI developers to conduct imitation and
reinforcement learning. It also provides a secure pipeline to
deploy, retrain, and redeploy those AI models onto national
security systems—a process made even easier, faster, and more
reliable through the integration with Anduril’s unique edge
capabilities.
We will also provide a rapid and ready mechanism to
operationalize these new AI capabilities directly through defense
production programs that are already fielded. Maven Smart System,
powered by the Palantir Platform, provides an enterprise mission
command platform that integrates large-scale operational data and
utilizes AI-based capabilities to improve and accelerate human
decision-making across joint missions, such as intelligence and
fires. Similarly, Anduril’s Lattice software platform provides an
edge-based mission autonomy platform that integrates directly with
robotic systems and utilizes AI-based capabilities to automate and
orchestrate their conduct of joint missions, such as air defense
and reconnaissance. Anduril and Palantir are joining these
complementary systems together, providing a seamless operational
capability from the edge to the enterprise that serves as a
deployment platform for new AI applications that anyone can build.
This platform is already in place and in use by Anduril and
Palantir for their own corporate purposes and with government
contracts that enables this work to begin immediately.
Ultimately, Palantir and Anduril expect to expand the
partnership to other industry partners that have unique
contributions to make to this unique mission. No single company is
capable of delivering on the promise of AI for national security.
It takes a team of companies that are willing and able to ensure
that the U.S. government remains the world leader in fielding
advanced technologies that keep our citizens safe.
