Palantir Technologies [PLTR] on Monday said it has been selected by the Defense Information Systems Agency to provide a software platform that will bring automation to the coordination of mid-band spectrum shared use between the Defense Department and commercial licensees.
Palantir said its software will “integrate multiple existing functions and capabilities into a single architecture that will result in more efficient workflows, reducing the timelines for licensee coordination with DoD to establish sharing agreements and enable deployment of 5G wireless services within CPA/PUA (cooperative planning area/public use area) boundaries.”
Palantir will support DISA’s Defense Spectrum Organization around shared use of the 3450-3550 megahertz band.
“As military and commercial use of radio frequency spectrum continues to grow, spectrum coordination will be increasingly necessary to preserve the effectiveness of critical national security capabilities while enabling U.S. commercial leadership in 5G and other critical technology areas,” Miriam Marwick, senior vice president of emerging technologies at Palantir, said in a statement.
