Palantir TechnologiesOperational
Palantir's data-integration platform for enterprises and civil government, released in 2016, turns an organization's data into an integrated 'ontology' that operational applications are built on. It underpins the UK NHS Federated Data Platform and contributes to the US Army's Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) common data layer baseline established in June 2026, alongside Anduril's Lattice, with Anduril as lead integrator.

Core commercial platform; contributes to the Army NGC2 data-layer baseline as of June 2026 alongside Anduril's Lattice
02
Contributes Foundry to the Army's NGC2 common data layer baseline (June 2026) as part of an edge-to-cloud data mesh alongside Anduril's Lattice; Anduril leads the baseline and the 4th Infantry Division full-stack rollout, validated at division scale during the July 20-29, 2026 Project Convergence-Capstone 6 exercise at Fort Irwin, California

Announced next steps from Palantir Technologies that mention Foundry.
2026-2027
After the September 10, 2026 renewal, Fujitsu is to staff Forward Deployed Engineers on AIP and Foundry for customers in Japan and abroad and bring Takane and Uvance into those deployments. Watch named customer wins beyond the cited Japanese manufacturer case and whether the Global FDE title turns into a measurable commercial book.
2026-2027
AIPCon 11 on September 10, 2026 showcased the SAIOS stack on Nvidia's own supply chain (Command Center, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, on-prem). The remaining test is whether other manufacturing, energy, healthcare, automotive, and aerospace customers adopt the same Foundry/AIP/Nemotron/cuOpt stack on Dell, Cisco, Rackspace, or Nebius infrastructure.
2027
The Army's FY2027 budget request ($3.78 billion for NGC2) funds fielding the full NGC2 stack to two divisions in FY2027, following operational validation at the 4th Infantry Division (including the July 20-29, 2026 Project Convergence-Capstone 6 exercise at Fort Irwin) and the 25th Infantry Division, with three more division equivalents procured for FY2028. In June 2026 the Army named Anduril as lead integrator for the NGC2 common data layer baseline, with Palantir's Foundry contributing the edge-to-cloud data mesh alongside Anduril's Lattice - Anduril leads the full-stack rollout at 4th ID and Lockheed Martin leads at 25th ID. The Army wants all 11 divisions equipped within five years, a multi-year revenue runway for Palantir even as its data-layer role sits within a broader multi-vendor stack rather than as sole platform.
Unspecified
Reuters, citing The Information on September 14, 2026, reported that Palantir has pressed Anthropic for irrevocable zero-data-retention guarantees before making Anthropic models available through Palantir software, amid a broader industry fight over whether frontier labs retain customer prompts and logs. Watch whether Palantir ships Anthropic (or OpenAI) models inside AIP/Foundry under a ZDR contract, substitutes Nvidia Nemotron and other open models, or leaves the gap unfilled for sovereign customers.

Palantir named Armada its inaugural certified modular data-center partner on Oct. 1, 2026, to host Palantir's Sovereign AI Operating System on Armada Galleon modular data centers manufactured in the United States and allied nations. Palantir said it will validate AIP, Ontology, Foundry and Apollo on that hardware, with Armada's platform able to run air-gapped. Armada is not in this catalog, and no contract value was disclosed.
Palantir and Fujitsu announced on September 10 that they have renewed their partnership and that Fujitsu has signed a new AIP and Foundry agreement with Palantir Technologies Japan and will become a Global Forward Deployed Engineer partner. Fujitsu cited a Japanese manufacturer case covering more than 3,000 suppliers and 18 factories that saved over $10 million in one year. Fujitsu said it will also bring its Takane LLM and Uvance industry offerings into the joint work.
Method Security and Palantir announced the Cardinal Program on September 11, 2026, offering select municipalities, utilities, and critical-infrastructure operators opt-in autonomous red-team assessments at no cost. Method's platform will map and safely test internet-facing assets, with Palantir Foundry, AIP, and Ontology for Cybersecurity used to deliver findings and keep assessments inside agreed rules of engagement. The companies framed it as a model that government agencies could later scale to systems in their mandates.
Palantir and Nvidia announced on September 10, 2026 a sovereign AI supply-chain stack pairing Palantir Foundry, AIP, and Ontology with Nvidia Nemotron open models and cuOpt. The first deployment is Nvidia's own supply chain, which the companies said spans 1.3 million parts per Vera Rubin rack. The Palantir Sovereign AI Operating System reference architecture can run on premises with Dell and Cisco or in the cloud with Rackspace and Nebius, and will be showcased at Palantir's AIPCon 11.
Britain's publicly owned National Energy System Operator awarded Palantir a 17.7 million pound contract (21.2 million pounds including VAT) without competition to keep licensing and supporting Connections and Skip Rates on Foundry. The deal runs from September 8, 2026 to July 31, 2027, with six-month extensions available to July 31, 2028, while NESO prepares a competitive replacement expected to start July 31, 2027. NESO said Palantir has the specialist knowledge to maintain the platform, which transferred from National Grid ESO in 2023, and that the extension does not lock in the long-term supplier.
Coles Group said it has agreed with Palantir Technologies to conclude a three-year data and analytics partnership that used Foundry and AI tools for rostering, store operations and supply chain planning across more than 840 stores. The February 2024 deal is not expected to run beyond calendar 2027, and transition timing is still being worked out. GetUp! claimed the outcome after a campaign that gathered about 86,000 petition signatures; Coles said the software runs in Coles' own environment under Coles controls and is not a surveillance tool.
Mercury Systems said it entered a strategic agreement with Palantir to automate material planning and factory operations across its U.S. defense manufacturing sites, building an enterprise ontology that serves as a digital twin of its production footprint on Palantir's Foundry platform. The initial workflows target manual-workload reduction and faster, more predictable output without extending delivery timelines or raising costs, with the effort sponsored under a U.S. government Tradewind Prototype Agreement. Shares of both companies rose on the announcement.

Palantir's defense and intelligence operating system, released in 2008, fuses satellite imagery, signals, and intelligence sources so analysts and commanders can find targets and run operations. Its AI evolution, the Maven Smart System, combines those workflows with large-model assistance for targeting and command and control.
Launched in April 2023, AIP lets organizations run large language models and AI agents against their own data on private, secure networks, with hands-on 'bootcamps' taking customers from zero to a working use case in days. AIP is the primary driver of Palantir's triple-digit US commercial growth and now hosts NVIDIA Nemotron open models for sovereign government deployments.
Palantir's continuous-delivery and deployment platform, which autonomously ships and updates software across cloud, on-premise, classified, and air-gapped environments. Apollo is what lets Palantir operate SaaS-style inside secure government networks, and it anchors the company's sovereign AI stack, including the June 2026 engine for deploying NVIDIA Nemotron models in sovereign environments.
