Overview

  • The Ministry of Defence says the partnership will develop AI-powered tools to accelerate decision-making, military planning and targeting across the armed forces.
  • Palantir says up to £750 million will go into advanced AI-enabled defence technology that it describes as battle-tested in Ukraine and used by the US and NATO.
  • The company will establish the UK as its European defence headquarters and create about 350 high-skilled jobs, expanding its footprint outside the US.
  • Reporting in The Times, citing an insider, says MoD systems could consolidate decades of service data—such as medical, payroll and training records—to assess readiness and support targeting and logistics, with an extension of existing naval deployments to wider forces.
  • Palantir shares rose about 1.6% in pre-market trading following reports of the strategic deal with the UK government.
