The company said it won a $823 million contract to provide the Army with its Gotham platform, which is “an operating system for defense decision making and is specifically designed to connect the dots between disparate sources,” Palantir said in a statement.

Palantir said the platform will “support Army Intelligence users worldwide with a globally federated Intelligence data fabric and analytics platform spanning multiple security classifications.”

We already spend billions of dollars for spy stuff, and we were surprised that Afghanistan collapsed in less then one pay period.

What we need is smarter generals/admirals.

Should be a good fit for the U.S. Army...both are getting very “woke”. See “Learn More About Our Groups” towards the bottom of the page:

> a globally federated Intelligence data fabric <

Well, since it’s globally federated, I suppose it’s worth the price.

And you can guarantee that some politicians and their close families made a mint off insider trading.

This is for spying on the good guys — not on the Muslims.

I'm not going to say that this is 100% gobbledygook, but I think it's close. These are buzzwords strung together in something that looks like a sentence. I DON'T think it's a real description of an $800M system.

Looks like: “We are selling the Army spy software which the Army is going to share with America’s enemies.”

As the anti-God/anti-American global socialist left have now taken over American FedGov, and the same left only has one enemy in the world, (that being Christians and American conservatives), everything from here on out is simply a taxpayer funded tool, to go after their primary enemies — Us.

Ah yah...

Just read down their home page.

This may be the most overtly, in your face, hard left, perv communist company I have read to date.

It is clear the entire company “culture” is completely aiming for people who are purely anti-Christ and morally perverted.

But will the enemy like it when we leave it behind? We have yet to see the damage all those rifles and millions of rounds of ammo will do.

"...connect the dots between disparate sources."

Like the Pentagon and China.
