TITAN is the US Army's mobile, AI-enabled intelligence and targeting ground station, built to fuse data from distributed sensors and accelerate target nomination for long-range fires.
UVision's CORTEX is a battle-intelligence and mission-management layer, launched in June 2026, that fuses sensor feeds and routes targets to the company's Hero, Viper and Peregrine loitering munitions, letting one operator supervise many munitions across air, land and sea.
Palladyne AI's SwarmOS is a decentralized edge-autonomy software stack built to let one operator command a mixed swarm of drones from different manufacturers without a cloud link — run inside the US Army's NGC2 prototype at Ivy Mass 2026, now under Army and AFRL validation contracts.
ASGARD is the British Army's AI-enabled "digital targeting web" — a multi-vendor recce-strike network fusing sensors, AI decision support and strike systems. The Army says it cut a corps planning cycle from 72 hours to one and multiplied daily targets tenfold.
Helsing AI is a European defense-software stack built around Altra, Cirra and Centaur, applying machine learning to land targeting, electronic warfare and combat-aircraft autonomy.
Palantir Foundry is Palantir's ontology-centric data-integration and operational-application platform, used across commercial, civil-government and defense-industrial programs.
Scale AI's Donovan is a US defense generative-AI decision-support platform, built to let commanders, analysts and staff officers query classified data, orchestrate LLMs and build mission-tailored AI agents.
Auterion is a Swiss-founded, Arlington-headquartered drone software company whose AuterionOS, Skynode hardware and Nemyx swarm layer give Western and Ukrainian unmanned systems a common autonomy stack.
Palantir AIP is the company's generative-AI and autonomous-agent layer, built to connect LLMs and other models to controlled enterprise, intelligence and military workflows.
Palantir Gotham is Palantir Technologies' government and defense data-fusion platform, used for intelligence analysis, targeting workflows, sensor tasking and access-controlled common operating pictures.
The US military's soldier-level map app — a phone-based geospatial situational-awareness and C2 kit built by the Air Force Research Laboratory, now 250,000+ users across the US military, allies and first responders. The Western benchmark Ukraine's and Russia's apps get measured against.
Russia's soldier-portable "find" half of the reconnaissance-fire loop — the KRUS Strelets links scouts, drone operators and artillery spotters to the guns. Capable on paper and improved in Syria, but Ukrainian accounts say its centralised, EW-fragile design lags Ukraine's apps.
"Nettle" — the volunteer-built Ukrainian app that turns a $150 Android tablet into an artillery fire-control computer, replacing 15-minute Soviet hand-calculation with a coordinate, a tap and rounds on target in seconds. Built by the NGO Army SOS.
Ukraine's "Uber for artillery" — software that matches a target to the best available gun and cuts the call-to-trigger time from ~20 minutes to one or two, letting a smaller, dispersed force out-shoot a numerically superior one.
Helsing's AI-piloted combat drone — Europe's bid for sovereign autonomous airpower. One low-observable jet, flown by the Centaur AI pilot, in a strike version (CA-1KA) and an escort-jammer version (CA-1EA) pitched as the European answer to the Growler. Nothing has flown yet.
The quiet incumbent of military command software — a Danish COTS suite that became the de-facto NATO land-C2 standard, running from national headquarters down to the dismounted soldier in 45-plus armies. In 2024 NATO itself picked it as its Future Land C2.
Russia's long-troubled attempt at a digital battle-management system for the tactical level — the "Sozvezdie system," meant to fuse reconnaissance, command and fires across a brigade. The adversary mirror to Ukraine's Delta, and a case study in why Russian C2 lagged in Ukraine.
Shield AI's "AI pilot" — software that flies aircraft and drones with no remote pilot, no GPS and no datalink, and swarms them under one operator. It cued a strike on a Russian Buk deep in jammed territory, and in June 2026 won a US Air Force production contract for the drone-wingman program.
Anduril's "operating system for war" — software that fuses sensors into one picture and commands swarms of autonomous systems at machine speed, letting one operator run many drones. It anchors a $20B US Army contract and the Air Force's drone-wingman program.
The Pentagon's AI targeting brain — Palantir-built software that fuses hundreds of intelligence feeds, uses computer vision and large language models to find and track targets, and runs the whole sensor-to-shooter loop. In the Iran war the US says it helped strike ~1,000 targets in a day.
Ukraine's "Google for the military" — a cloud battlefield-awareness and command system that fuses drone, satellite, sensor and intelligence feeds into one shared map and, the military says, compresses the find-to-strike cycle from days to minutes. The first software entry in the Lexicon.
