Exactly what that means is hidden among an impressive array of corpo-speak, but there&#8217;s some language here that instinctively makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will utilize Anduril\u2019s Lattice software system and the Anduril Menace family of deployable compute and communications systems to instrument the tactical edge for the government\u2019s secure, large-scale data retention and distribution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lattice connects directly with third-party defense systems at the edge, delivers autonomy to machine operations, securely distributes their information across a large-scale data mesh, and backhauls all tactical data into government enclaves for the purposes of AI training and inferencing.<\/p>\n<p>Menace devices are also purpose-built for the tactical edge, customized down to the silicon level for the unique requirements of national security operations in tactical environments\u2014including, soon, next-generation encryption.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With the best will in the world, calling one of your systems &#8220;Menace&#8221;, as a defence company, doesn&#8217;t strike as particularly great optics. Anyway, the gist of the partnership is that there are supposedly two limiting factors to adopting AI for national security purposes: Data readiness, and secure enterprise pipelines to &#8220;turn that data into AI capabilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To solve this, Anduril&#8217;s systems will connect to third-party defence systems and gather data, before Palantir&#8217;s AI platform structures and labels it for AI training, while also providing a secure pipeline to deploy AI models into national security systems. That&#8217;s a lot of &#8220;systems&#8221;, I know, but parsing and simplifying this sort of doublespeak seems like the kind of job that a machine learning model would actually be better at than me.<\/p>\n<p>In the Tolkienverse, a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Palant%C3%ADr\" target=\"_blank\">palant\u00edr<\/a> is an indestructible crystal ball used for communication and to see events in the past, the same kind that cheeky hobbit Poppin uses to gaze into the eye of Soorun (I&#8217;ll stop it now) before Gandalf snatches it away from him and gives an appropriate scolding.<\/p>\n<p><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lotr.fandom.com\/wiki\/And%C3%BAril\" target=\"_blank\">And\u00faril<\/a>, meanwhile, is the name of Aragorn&#8217;s gigantic sword, reforged from the shards of <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lotr.fandom.com\/wiki\/Narsil\" target=\"_blank\">Narsil<\/a> and also referred to as the &#8220;Flame of the West.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Which, given the context, seems somewhat appropriate. Or slightly terrifying, you pick. Anyway, this is what happens when grown nerds start naming companies after objects from their favourite universes, so I look forward to writing about future team-ups between Death Star Enterprises, Phaser Corp., and the Infinity Stone Institute. What a world, eh?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and if I&#8217;ve got any of the LOTR lore here wrong, feel free to write in to any of my editors at&#8230; actually, on second thoughts, don&#8217;t.
