>The Palantir executive pointed to “exploding pagers and long-distance drone strikes from shipping containers” as attacks which “prove that technology has once again changed the battlefield,” and that “our military has to change with it.”
That's not Palantir's market segment.
Whenever I see that guy in the headlines, he's trying to pump the stock by making nebulous threatening statements. Can't wait for this era of public persona CEOs to be over, with the most egregious examples of them stuck in prison for fraud.
Interesting comment. It's exactly one of their market segments, defense technology.
That's a market, in defense a market segment would be "mortar rounds" or "tanks." Palantir's market segment is high-level integration of surveillance.
Palantir has an autonomous weapons command and control product in partnership with Anduril and other weapons manufacturers. They aren't just intelligence.
Exploding pagers are defensive? (Please don't wrap yourself into a logical pretzel responding to this purely rhetorical question.)
