Palantir Technologies won the competition to provide the Distributed Common Ground System-Army Capability Drop 2, which is expected to be worth $823 million, the Army announced Oct. 6. "The Delivery Order enables the operational testing of Distributed Common Ground System-Army Capability Drop 2," according to a press release from the Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors. "This award is the culmination of a year's worth of intense vendor competition that included multiple tests with Soldiers." Palantir competed against BAE Systems for Capability Drop 2 orders, which will add new data about terrain, weather and threats to the DCGS, a system for collecting and disseminating intelligence among commanders at various echelons. The upgrades will take existing data from different sources and present them in a single platform, according to a Palantir press release. Existing Army intelligence data platforms will also migrate to the platform provided in Capability Drop 2.
