Mercury Systems and Palantir partner to automate factory operations

Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY) and Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) announced a strategic agreement to enhance automation of material planning and factory operations to accelerate delivery of processing technologies for U.S. military programs, according to a press release.

The partnership, sponsored by the U.S. government under the Tradewind Prototype Agreement, will initially focus on two workflows designed to streamline material planning, reduce manual workloads, and improve production capacity across Mercury's factories.

Palantir will also help Mercury build an enterprise ontology described as a digital twin of the company's operations, intended to enable faster decisions and improved production predictability.

The effort is part of a broader initiative in which Palantir is working with U.S. defense industrial base suppliers to increase throughput and reduce delivery timelines for critical components and subsystems, in support of the U.S. Department of Defense.

"Partnering with Palantir will enable Mercury to further drive automation and efficiency in our supply chain and manufacturing operations, which are key to accelerating delivery of critical, high-demand capabilities for the warfighter," said Bill Ballhaus, Mercury chairman and CEO.

"By integrating numerous data sources within a shared operational layer, Mercury will be positioned to deliver vital processing technologies at the speed and scale necessary to maintain U.S. deterrence and warfighting advantage," said Mike Gallagher, Palantir's head of defense.

Mercury Systems is headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts, and focuses on aerospace and defense electronics. Palantir is an AI software company serving aerospace and defense markets.
