The system provides near real-time visibility and controlled access to disparate data sources on a single platform. It was set up to facilitate data-driven decision making processes and to increase personnel readiness.
Last year, Army Vantage launched an application to enable command teams to plan, avoid, and manage risky behaviours among soldiers, and enhanced the US Army’s process for weapons accountability.
It offered leaders insight into the US Army’s Covid-19 inventory and soldier immunisation data.
Palantir was originally selected to power Army Vantage in December 2019. The $458m production agreement had a one-year base period and three option years.
