Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) (“Palantir”), a global leader in operational artificial intelligence platforms, today announced a strategic partnership with Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) (“Ondas”), a leading provider of autonomous aerial and ground robot intelligence through its Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business unit and private wireless solutions through Ondas Networks, and World View Enterprises, Inc. (“World View”), a leader in high-altitude balloon intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and stratospheric remote sensing, to develop and deploy a new generation of AI-enabled operational capabilities designed to scale persistent stratospheric, aerial, and land-based ISR missions. The partnership builds on Ondas’ recently announced strategic investment and partnership agreement with World View, positioning the strategically aligned companies to accelerate development of next-generation multi-domain ISR capabilities that leverage AI-driven insights to make faster in-mission decisions over traditional ISR toolsets.
World View’s Stratollite® platform represents a fundamentally new class of sensing capability, operating in the stratosphere, the critical layer between satellites and aircraft to deliver persistent, long-dwell intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions at significantly lower cost and complexity than traditional assets. When combined with Ondas’ unmanned aerial, ground, and counter-drone systems, the companies are building a multi-domain intelligence architecture designed to deliver persistent awareness and rapid response across complex mission environments for its defense, homeland security and allied security customers.
As demand for multi-domain sensing and persistent ISR grows, scaling this unified intelligence capability requires an operational software foundation capable of coordinating increasingly complex missions. Through this partnership, Ondas and World View will apply Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) to the production, mission planning, and edge operations that underpin these systems, helping enable a new generation of scalable, software-defined stratospheric intelligence capabilities.
These Palantir-powered programs will enable Ondas’ and World View’s multi-domain autonomous fleets to communicate with each other across domains and with their operators on the ground to create a unified intelligence infrastructure. This integrated workflow marks a paradigm shift from the traditional ISR model that is focused on data collection. Instead, through this partnership, the companies are building an interconnected intelligence ecosystem that delivers decisions – not just data – to operators.
“Persistent sensing platforms like World View’s Stratollites and Ondas’ suite of autonomous systems, represent a new frontier in operational intelligence,” said Dr. Alex Karp, co-founder and CEO of Palantir Technologies. “By combining Palantir’s software platforms with World View’s unique stratospheric capabilities and Ondas’ broader autonomous ecosystem, we’re building the operational backbone required to scale these missions.”
Together, the companies will develop three foundational programs aimed at transforming how multi-domain ISR missions are produced, executed and managed. Work to optimize World View’s stratospheric systems and operations has already begun and will begin to integrate across Ondas’ multi-domain portfolio as early as the fourth quarter of 2026.
Transforming Production and Mission Readiness
The first initiative, Palantir Warp Speed, will establish a unified operational data foundation connecting supply chain, engineering and manufacturing missions. The platform will enable automated planning, real-time visibility and proactive material and production management, allowing World View to scale its Stratollite fleet without the operational bottlenecks that often accompany complex aerospace production environments.
By replacing fragmented systems and manual coordination with a shared operational data layer, the program will allow teams across procurement, manufacturing, and mission operations to operate from a single source of truth as demand for ISR missions grows.
Bringing AI to Mission Operations
The second program, AI Flight Director, will support World View’s mission operations teams by integrating atmospheric data, proprietary modeling, telemetry and historical mission data into a unified operational platform. The system is designed to help operators plan flights more precisely, respond to environmental variability, and execute missions with greater confidence.
Over time, the platform will incorporate AI agents capable of assisting with mission planning, telemetry analysis and operational coordination, enabling World View to scale toward operating multiple Stratollites simultaneously without increasing operational overhead.
Developing Edge Intelligence for Multi-Domain Missions
The third program, SkyWeaver, focuses on bringing data processing and model inference directly onto World View’s Stratollite through an on-vehicle edge computing system. The platform will enable intelligence processing closer to the mission environment, reducing latency and supporting unified command and control in degraded connectivity scenarios.
Ondas and World View will leverage the Palantir platform to develop the hardware and software architecture for their respective systems and conduct testing and validation toward operational field deployments. Ondas and World View, in line with their strategic partnership agreement, will coordinate their development efforts and create a joint operational infrastructure to deliver a unified intelligence framework that enables a multi-domain, interconnected intelligence ecosystem.
“Our Stratollite platform unlocks a new layer of persistent sensing between satellites and aircraft,” said Ryan Hartman, Chief Executive Officer of World View. “By working with Palantir, we can integrate advanced software, AI-driven mission operations and edge intelligence directly into the way these platforms are built, deployed and operated. This collaboration will allow us to scale stratospheric missions more efficiently while delivering faster insights and more responsive capabilities for customers operating in complex environments.”
“This partnership represents an important step in building a scalable, software-defined ISR architecture capable of supporting the next generation of multi-domain operations,” said Eric Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ondas. “Integrating Palantir’s operational software with Ondas’ systems and World View’s stratospheric platforms will create a powerful foundation for delivering persistent intelligence across air, stratosphere and space.”
Taken together, the three initiatives, Warp Speed, AI Flight Director, and SkyWeaver, will create an integrated operational architecture capable of supporting a growing fleet of persistent stratospheric platforms and autonomous aerial and land-based systems executing increasingly complex missions across multiple domains. The collaboration aims to enable faster mission planning, more efficient production and more intelligent edge operations, helping defense, homeland security and critical infrastructure customers access persistent sensing capabilities that bridge the gap between satellites and aircraft.
