The U.S. Army selected Palantir Technologies to develop the Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node, a next-generation, software-centric ground system. Under the $178 million deal, announced on March 6, Denver-based Palantir will build 10 TITAN ground stations designed to support advanced beyond-line-of-sight targeting by connecting data-gathering sensors to shooters in the field.
The award follows a three-year design and prototyping phase that pitted Palantir’s system against one developed by RTX. Palantir’s winning system emphasizes incorporating feedback through regular demonstrations, ensuring it includes the most needed capabilities in the field. Palantir plans to deliver 10 systems in the next two years, including advanced variants integrating with tactical trucks and basic variants installed on Joint Light Tactical Vehicles.
By 2026, the Army will decide whether the capability will transition into full production, estimating it will buy around 100 to 150 systems. Palantir’s subcontractor team includes Northrop Grumman, Anduril Industries, L3Harris, Pacific Defense, and Sierra Nevada Corporation. Anduril will play a role in TITAN’s hardware design, development, and manufacturing.
