Arcfield subsidiary Strategic Technology Consulting has won a subcontract from Palantir Technologies Inc. to support its work on the Army’s Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node ground station system, a next-generation deep-sensing capability using artificial intelligence and machine learning
TITAN is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance ground station that processes data from space, high altitude, and aerial and terrestrial sensors. Palantir’s TITAN solution is designed to improve warfighter situational awareness and understanding and reduce the sensor-to-shooter timeline, the company said.
The subcontract supports 10 TITAN prototypes, the integration of new critical technologies and the transition to fielding.
“The Army’s selection of an MBSE-enabled solution is a testament to their commitment to speed military modernization,” said Kevin Kelly, chairman and CEO of Arcfield. “We are proud of this win by our STC team and honored to support the U.S. Army Contracting Command on this innovative and game-changing work.”
As a member of Palantir’s team, STC will deliver a collaborative digital engineering environment that will serve as the “single source of truth” for the program. It is designed to increase systems engineering efficiency by eliminating rework caused by document-based engineering.
The company will use its latest innovations in model-based systems engineering models, plug-ins and supporting software to integrate disparate tools, and simplify data transfer and analysis across the team to develop the prototypes.
“STC is excited to have been selected by Palantir to join its superb team of partners to deliver this next-generation capability to the warfighter,” said Dan Reineke, president and general manager of STC. “We are eager and ready to get to work supporting the Army in their shift from traditional systems engineering to an all-digital model.”
STC was originally named to the Palantir team in January 2021 and helped complete the design and prototyping phases of the TITAN program.
