Palantir’s founding team, led by investor Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, wanted to create a company capable of using new data integration and data analytics technology — some of it developed to fight online payments fraud — to solve problems of law enforcement, national security, military tactics, and warfare. They called it Palantir, after the magical stones in The Lord of the Rings. Palantir, founded in 2003, developed its tools fighting terrorism after September 11, and has done extensive work for government agencies and corporations though much of its work is secret.
It went public in 2020. But through its 20 years in business, the question has been just how capable are its systems and what could it achieve on a large scale conflict. Can it deliver in a war between large armies and with greater firepower?
The following scenario has been described to me by a Ukrainian commander rather than Palantir, which does not comment on operational details. As Ukraine launches several and potentially dozens of thrusts across the full frontline, Russia has to bring reserve forces out of hiding, which Ukraine can track in real time using satellite and drone imagery, as well as visual recognition algorithms, and target with unprecedented speed and precision.
Before the start of the current offensive, and now in its early stages, Ukraine has spent weeks shaping the battlefield by destroying command and control centers, logistics, and munition depots deep behind enemy lines. In some cases it used the newly available and long range Storm Shadow missiles.

You get an A+ for veracity and creativity.
I know a guy that works for them. He described it as “Data warehousing on an industrial scale”. Also, you need a top secret clearance to work there.
So Ukraine is winning again?

Palantir has a YUGE army contract for Intel Analysis. It’s taken the place of DCGS-A. Palantir now falls under the DCGS family and is called Capability Development 1 and CD2. It’s complicated and difficult to train and use but it’s getting there. The ultimate goal is to do away with Battlefield Analysts aka Soldiers, in the S2.
