Natilus and Palantir Announce Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Production of Sustainable Commercial Aircraft
Palantir's advanced AI-based operating system will supercharge Natilus's engineering, design and manufacturing as it rapidly scales U.S. production capabilities for blended-wing aircraft SAN DIEGO, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Natilus, an aerospace manufacturer of blended-wing-body aircraft, today announced a strategic partnership with Palantir Technologies Inc. to advance the production of sustainable aircraft in the U.S. Through the collaboration, Natilus and Palantir are deploying an AI-based operating system to accelerate the development of innovative approaches to design, engineering and manufacturing and streamline Natilus's operations and strengthen its supply chain. In an era of critically constrained access to aircraft components, market demand for cargo and passenger aircraft is outpacing domestic manufacturing capabilities. With the aviation industry challenged to operate more sustainably, cargo and passenger airlines are eager to pursue more technologically advanced approaches to deliver elevated yet economical fleet operations. To address the market demand, Natilus is developing a family of blended-wing-body aircraft for commercial operations. With an advanced carbon fiber airframe design, Natilus's family of aircraft includes a regional blended-wing-body freighter KONA, and a 200-passenger aircraft, the HORIZON, which both offer major advantages in fuel consumption, carbon emissions, and payload capacity. 'The U.S. desperately needs a boost in aircraft manufacturing, and Natilus is operating at the forefront of sustainable aircraft manufacturing,' said Aleksey Matyushev, Co-Founder and CEO of Natilus. 'We made a commitment to build the first manufacturing facility for the world's most efficient commercial aircraft here in the U.S. Our success hinges on accelerating our production capabilities, and leveraging Palantir's AI-driven platform will allow us to transform our manufacturing operations to run more efficiently and meet customer demand for the cargo and passenger markets.' Natilus is deploying Palantir Warp Speed for its operations, providing AI-driven data, analytics and modeling to drive real-time decision making. Through the collaboration, Natilus will initially focus on increasing supply chain resiliency and manufacturing efficiency, and further down the line, offering its cargo and passenger customers key insights to enable predictive maintenance, disruption recovery and capture real-time aircraft performance data for product optimization. 'Natilus is delivering the future of sustainable aircraft, and we are extremely proud of deploying software that supports the sustained competitive advantage of their blended-wing-body aircraft,' said Emily Nguyen, Head of Industrials at Palantir. 'By providing the foundation on which Natilus will integrate all aspects of their aircraft design, engineering and manufacturing, Palantir is committed to helping Natilus build faster and strengthen the U.S.'s position in the global aviation landscape.' About NatilusNatilus is a San Diego-based company developing a family of hyper-efficient blended-wing-body (BWB) aircraft designed to transport people and cargo more sustainably and efficiently than ever before. Natilus's BWB aircraft unlock improved aviation economics by reducing fuel consumption by 30% while increasing payload capability by 40%. Founded in 2016, the Natilus team is comprised of innovators from General Atomics, Northrop Grumman, Skunkworks, SpaceX, and Piper Aircraft. Learn more at

Saildrone and Palantir Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance AI-Powered Maritime Intelligence
Saildrone will leverage Palantir's AI technology to deliver unprecedented insights for maritime intelligence, surveillance, and targeting applications. ALAMEDA, Calif., March 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Saildrone today announced a strategic partnership with Palantir Technologies set to revolutionize maritime intelligence capabilities. This collaboration will enable the rapid scaling of autonomous systems to deliver advanced maritime AI solutions—at a time when conventional naval assets are scarce. In an era of mounting global threats and critically constrained shipbuilding capacity, this partnership represents a paradigm shift in maritime security operations. Saildrone operates the world's largest fleet of operationally deployed USVs, providing critical maritime domain awareness to the US Navy, Department of Homeland Security, and international allies. These autonomous vehicles utilize sophisticated and proprietary edge-computing AI/ML algorithms to monitor activities both above and below the sea surface, detecting threats including narcotics trafficking, illegal fishing operations, and adversary submarines. As demand for Saildrone services surges, the company will integrate Palantir's sophisticated AI cloud infrastructure to enable rapid scaling across its entire operational spectrum—from transforming its manufacturing, supply chain, and fleet operations with Warp Speed to enabling AI-powered tasking of autonomous assets in the field. "As global threats continue to evolve, we're seeing rapidly increasing demand for our maritime security solutions," said Richard Jenkins, founder and CEO at Saildrone. "Leveraging Palantir's sophisticated manufacturing and AI tools will allow us to streamline manufacturing and radically enhance fleet capabilities. While others make promises about tomorrow's technology, we face complex global threats today. This partnership with Palantir ensures we deliver solutions today that outpace tomorrow's threats." With a decade of operations and nearly 2 million nautical miles sailed globally, Saildrone has amassed the world's most comprehensive dataset of maritime intelligence at the sea surface. Palantir's advanced AI capabilities will fuse this vast proprietary dataset with other external sources, delivering unprecedented insights for maritime intelligence, surveillance, and targeting applications. "We built Warp Speed to accelerate the organizations at the forefront of American reindustrialization—from the factory floor to the open ocean," said Emily Nguyen, Palantir's Head of Industrials. "Saildrone is delivering the future of Maritime AI, and we are extremely proud to provide software that supports the sustained competitive advantage of their USVs." About Saildrone Saildrone is a maritime defense and oceanographic survey company creating a paradigm shift in how navies, law enforcement, civil government, and commercial organizations obtain the real-time, accurate data required to monitor and protect our oceans. Saildrone's fleet of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) carries purpose-built payloads supporting border protection, critical infrastructure security, hydrographic survey, offshore energy, and metocean monitoring. Powered by renewable wind and solar energy, Saildrone USVs provide long-duration operations measured in months, not days. Proprietary software applications and machine learning technology transform collected data into actionable insights and intelligence. Saildrone has sailed more than 1,600,000 nautical miles from the High North to the Southern Ocean and spent over 46,000 days at sea in the harshest ocean conditions on the planet.
