(Bloomberg) -- Palantir Technologies Inc.’s new mobile battlefield intelligence-gathering vehicle and trailer for the US Army is ranked by its leaders as among their top-performing programs, according to a new assessment by the service.

An April report to Congress of the Army’s “Highest and Lowest Performing” programs lists the company’s Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node — or Titan — and four other weapons systems among the star performers. No major systems were among the lowest-ranked.

Palantir’s current $178 million Army contract is significant for the company as it tries to expand its artificial intelligence work with the US. The project, although modest compared with multibillion-dollar Pentagon weapons systems, underscores the Defense Department’s focus on using the latest software from Silicon Valley. It also may offer a preview of the technology-heavy future of battlefields.

The other highest-performing systems in the assessment seen by Bloomberg News are all produced by more established Pentagon contractors. They are the Next Generation Squad Weapon, the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft that will replace Black Hawk helicopters, the “Common Infrared” helicopter defense system and a new warhead for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System mobile attack weapon.

Palantir beat out RTX Corp., a mainline defense contractor, for the intelligence vehicle contract. Palantir partnered with Anduril Industries Inc. and Northrop Grumman Corp. on the project and tapped L3Harris Technologies Inc. and other companies as subcontractors.

Each Titan system includes a lightweight industrial truck and a trailer of roughly the same size. The trailer is used to transport accessories, including a backup power supply and a “space kit” so the system can directly link to satellite data, along with what it collects from terrestrial, aerial and high-altitude systems.

Three Titan prototypes have been delivered, with four more expected by Dec. 31 and three more expected by March 30, 2026, according to Army spokesman Brandon Pollachek. The Army “is assessing the number” it will buy “as we exercise prototypes and evaluate where they will be needed,” he said.

The vehicles are scheduled to undergo combat-realistic operational testing and evaluation, a potential full-rate production decision and initial fielding in the 2027-2028 timeframe, Pollachek added.
