Army awards Palantir OTA for TITAN prototyping

The Army has selected Palantir to develop 10 prototypes for the Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) ground station, the service announced today.

TITAN is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance ground station that will use artificial intelligence and machine learning to “rapidly process sensor data received from space, high-altitude, aerial and terrestrial layers,” according to the Army. It will provide intelligence used for targeting, reducing the sensor-to-shooter timeline and enabling multidomain operations.

TITAN will be the first Army intelligence ground station enabled by AI/ML and is meant to close a deep sensing capability gap by accessing data from multiple sensors across several layers.

Palantir had been competing with RTX during the competitive prototyping phase, and the Army made its selection after the company delivered an advanced prototype that incorporated operational requirements and user feedback from soldier touchpoints.

The next phase will include further maturing the selected prototypes through soldier touchpoints, Program Executive Officer for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors Brig. Gen. Ed Barker said in December.
