Navy Launches $448 Million 'Ship OS' With Palantir to Accelerate Shipbuilding and Repairs

The two-year rollout starts in the submarine industrial base with Palantir teams embedded to connect fragmented shipyard data.

Overview

  • The two-year initial contract concentrates on the submarine industrial base and key suppliers.
  • Palantir will embed teams across the Navy’s four public shipyards and two unnamed private yards to operationalize data integration.
  • The effort is managed through the Maritime Industrial Base program and Naval Sea Systems Command and is funded through the Reconciliation Act.
  • Ship OS is designed to consolidate data from design, construction, logistics and maintenance systems to speed new builds and repairs.
  • Navy and Palantir statements cite steep pilot-time reductions at Electric Boat and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, figures not independently verified in the reporting.
