TITAN (Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node) shifts to production: $127M to Palantir, $65M to Anduril for eight vehicle mounted units due in 18 months.
The U.S. Army has moved its TITAN (Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node) ground-targeting program from prototype to production with a $192 million award split between Palantir and Anduril. Delivery orders dated August 31, 2026, give Palantir $127 million as lead production integrator and Anduril $65 million for vehicle-mounted hardware and power and thermal management (Army announcement).
The award funds eight production systems to be delivered over the next 18 months: four TITAN Advanced units on medium tactical vehicles and four TITAN Basic units on Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs). They will join the nine TITAN prototypes the Army already operates, a fleet that grew out of Palantir's original 2024 prototype contract worth $178.4 million, which the company won over RTX (DefenseScoop, 2024; DefenseScoop, 2026).
Palantir's expanded production team now includes L3Harris Technologies, Sierra Nevada Corporation, Strategic Technology Consulting, and World Wide Technology. Anduril's Lattice data mesh already linked TITAN variants during Project Convergence Capstone 6 in the Mojave (GovConWire).
TITAN pulls space-based sensor data down to tactical vehicles for battlefield fires, replacing older ground stations. Army officials have signaled a follow-on production buy in fiscal year 2027, but that award has not yet been confirmed (Defense Daily).
