The U.S. Army announced it has established the foundational data layer baseline for NGC2, its highest-priority modernization program. Palantir's Foundry serves as the cloud data layer, paired with Anduril's Lattice as the tactical data layer. This common baseline is designed to enable rapid scaling and seamless interoperability as NGC2 moves from prototyping to delivery across additional Army formations.
Why it matters
Palantir has been embedded with the Army and industry partners since NGC2's earliest experimentation phases, shaping the architecture based on Soldier feedback and real-world mission demands. By establishing a common data baseline from the outset, the Army is creating a foundation on which future applications and AI-enabled mission capabilities can be built. This demonstrates how commercial technology paired with an agile contracting process can compress the path from experimentation to fielded capability.
What to watch
The program has aligned companies with fundamentally different business models and IP structures—including Lockheed Martin and a broad community of traditional and non-traditional defense performers—and made them work together across large operational formations. NGC2 is now moving from prototype to production, with Foundry positioned to deliver decision advantage to Soldiers as the ecosystem scales.
