Palantir Technologies, a global leader in AI-driven systems, and Hadean, one of the UK’s most innovative defence technology scale-ups, announced a strategic partnership to integrate Hadean’s advanced wargaming, command & control, and battlefield training solutions with Palantir’s Foundry platform.
Hadean has emerged as a key player within the UK defence tech ecosystem, providing cutting-edge software to armed forces and militaries worldwide. In November 2024, the company secured a £20 million Enterprise Agreement Lite with the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) to deliver its digital wargaming and AI-powered Command & Control solutions.
Expanding the Future of Military Training and Decision-Making
The Hadean Platform equips armed forces with out-of-the-box simulation and orchestration tools that enable more effective training, rehearsal, and mission planning. Its AI-powered systems dynamically generate scenarios and autonomous agents to model virtual forces across both live and simulated environments.
