Software company Palantir Technologies Inc. and weapons maker Anduril Industries Inc. plan to accelerate the use of artificial intelligence in the U.S. military and are calling on other companies to join the effort.
Under a deal announced Friday, battlefield information created by sensors, vehicles, robots and weapons will be collected by Anduril’s Lattice software, then transferred to a secure Palantir platform that will prepare data for use in AI training and development. The data collected would include information classified at the highest levels of secrecy.
