Palantir gets $10 billion contract from U.S. Army

The award covering the next decade is one of the largest DoD contracts ever, cementing the tech firm’s role in warfighting for years to come.

The U.S. Army issued Palantir a contract Thursday worth up to $10 billion over the course of the next decade.

The new contract, the largest ever awarded to the software and data analysis company, cements Palantir’s role as a major processor of data for the military. It comes on the heels of an additional $795 million the military allocated earlier this year to put into its artificial intelligence targeting software, Maven Smart System.
