The Army has chosen Palantir Technologies to deploy a complex battlefield intelligence system for soldiers — a significant boost for the company, co-founded by Peter Thiel.

Army chose Palantir and Raytheon

Many became backers of Palantir, whose customers include governments and businesses, including in the financial and healthcare sectors. Raytheon and Palantir were allowed to test their respective software platforms with a live audience of soldiers, who told them what they liked and didn’t and what they would change. The two companies then refined their offerings to suit the Army’s needs.

He said Palantir was always confident it could win if it were allowed to adjust its technology after getting feedback from soldiers. He said the soldiers put the software through a rigorous test, even parachuting out of airplanes with reinforced laptops containing Palantir’s software. Palantir faced initial skepticism from investors who thought it couldn’t overcome entrenched bureaucratic interests and what they saw as political favoritism that led the Pentagon to spend billions of dollars every year with the same small group of contractors.
