Poland Signs Palantir, Anduril Deals Amid Record Army Spending (www.bloomberg.com)

Poland signed two separate deals with Palantir Technologies Inc. and Anduril Industries Inc. on Monday as the country steps up to upgrade its army amid record military spending.

Poland’s Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz and Palantir Chief Executive Officer Alex Karp signed a letter of intent on data, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity in Warsaw. At the same time, state-owned PGZ SA agreed with Anduril to cooperate on making Barracuda-500M cruise missiles, without saying when production would start or how much the deal was worth.

The Palantir deal is an early stage agreement and neither the government nor the company said how much the deal was worth. Poland is interested in several systems the company offers, including for battlefield management and logistics, Kosiniak-Kamysz said.

The minister said the Palantir CEO told him the company planned to invest in Poland, tapping into the potential of the local defense industry and engaging Polish engineers, without giving details. The country expects to sign deals with Palantir for specific systems in the next two or three months.

Question:

Does buying arms from the USA essentially necessitate using Palantir or related products?

edit: I got the gist of the article wrong. Anduril does produce arms, and the deal is about producing them, not buying. My question stands though.

I'm not sure, but that's a good question.

I believe Ukraine used Palantir against Russia, but when the U.S. becomes involved in a proxy war (even if it's to defend a nation that was clearly invaded by a leader who posed a global threat) it's hard to know what is actually chosen by the country vs provided as is.

No. For sure not. The interoperability of different tools and kit, from an outsiders perspective, kind of all over the place. Different companies have some internal interop, but generally its a mix between standards set by who ever is buying (branch, or org like NATO) and compatible with industry leader in relevant use case.

At least if you look at Defense companies GitHub, Earnings Reports, and Job postings and the militaries public statements.
