On Thursday, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) announced it is expanding its collaboration with Shield AI, a defense technology company focused on autonomy solutions.

The partnership aims to develop and implement large-scale command and control systems for autonomous uncrewed operations, even in GPS- and communications-denied environments.

Using Palantir's Warp Speed manufacturing OS for American re-industrialization, Shield AI reinforces its dedication to delivering scalable, AI-powered solutions to safeguard service members and civilians.

By integrating Shield AI's advanced Hivemind software development kit with Palantir's robust suite of solutions—including enterprise resource planning, geospatial intelligence, and operational decision-making tools—the partnership unites the strengths of both companies to tackle critical defense challenges.

Hivemind's proven capabilities on platforms like the V-BAT, F-16, and Nova quadcopter now work seamlessly with Gaia's geospatial intelligence tools, enabling real-time mission execution and precision targeting.

Brandon Tseng, Shield AI's President, Co-founder, and former Navy SEAL said, "Our partnership is about bringing together Palantir's software dominance and Shield AI's expertise in autonomy to deliver the best possible outcomes for customers."

Shyam Sankar, Palantir's Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President stated, "Shield AI stands out in their field, having achieved mission impact and product results where others have struggled."

"This partnership, and Shield AI's deploying of our newly announced manufacturing OS will enable faster and better delivery to customers, and ultimately aid in the defense of the West."

Investors can gain exposure to the Palantir via REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:AIPI) and ProShares Big Data Refiners ETF (NYSE:DAT).
