Palantir Technologies today announced a strategic partnership with Ondas Inc. and World View Enterprises – a high-altitude balloon intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and stratospheric remote sensing company – to develop and deploy a new generation of AI-enabled operational capabilities designed to scale persistent stratospheric, aerial, and land-based ISR missions.
“World View’s Stratollite® platform represents a fundamentally new class of sensing capability, operating in the stratosphere, the critical layer between satellites and aircraft to deliver persistent, long-dwell intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions at significantly lower cost and complexity than traditional assets,” said the companies in a press release. “When combined with Ondas’ unmanned aerial, ground, and counter-drone systems, the companies are building a multi-domain intelligence architecture designed to deliver persistent awareness and rapid response across complex mission environments for its defense, homeland security and allied security customers.”
Through this partnership, Ondas and World View will apply Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) to the production, mission planning, and edge operations that underpin these systems, helping enable a new generation of scalable, software-defined stratospheric intelligence capabilities. These Palantir-powered programs will enable Ondas’ and World View’s multi-domain autonomous fleets to communicate with each other across domains and with their operators on the ground to create a unified intelligence infrastructure. This integrated workflow marks a paradigm shift from the traditional ISR model that is focused on data collection. Instead, through this partnership, the companies are building an interconnected intelligence ecosystem that delivers decisions – not just data – to operators.
“The collaboration aims to enable faster mission planning, more efficient production and more intelligent edge operations, helping defense, homeland security and critical infrastructure customers access persistent sensing capabilities that bridge the gap between satellites and aircraft.”
