In the demo, the software can “automatically” identify the relevant communications nodes and disrupt the adversary’s means to effectively communicate by deploying available jammers. The commander then quickly decides to disrupt the adversary’s comms to protect advancing friendly units. The commander then picks from the options laid out on the platform’s chat window, and based on compiled and comprehensive geo-spatial intelligence, the Palantir system generates the best route to engage the enemy. The operator then asks the platform to generate several possible courses of action, the results of which are sent to a higher command level for further analysis. Using a chat window, the operator requests and receives more detailed imagery by sending a drone to retrieve video footage, identifying an enemy T-80 battle tank. Through the course of the demo, the platform notifies a military operator of an enemy formation.

This is paired with course of action generation capabilities for military command decision-making. The platform links together interactive AI-enabled chat-based functionality with seemingly perfect intelligence collection and query.

In April of 2023, technology company Palantir released a demo of a large language model (LLM)-enabled battle management software called Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) for Defense.
