Ondas owns all of Regna AI, the new defense AI company Palantir will power

Ondas, which will be Regna's first customer, expects to engage financial partners over time and named no other customer.

Ondas and Palantir on Monday, Oct. 12, announced Regna AI, a standalone private company expected to help customers develop and deploy mission-specialized, fine-tuned AI models within their own sovereign environments.1, 3 Regna is built on Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform, but the equity sits with Ondas, which bootstrapped the company and initially owns all of it.1–2 Palantir will provide model-training infrastructure and support delivery.1

In a letter to stockholders, Ondas Chairman and Chief Executive Eric Brock said Ondas expects, over time, to engage financial partners to support Regna's growth as an independent company.1–2 Operating expenses for further sovereign AI development are expected to move to Regna, reducing Ondas's ongoing investment in that work, he wrote. He said he believes Ondas's ownership will "unlock substantial embedded equity value" as the platform gains customers.2

Ondas will also be Regna's first customer, deploying fine-tuned models to run autonomous mission orchestration on the edge.1 Regna builds on SkyWeaver C4I, an existing Ondas-Palantir collaboration.1–2 Palantir's March announcement of its partnership with Ondas and World View, a high-altitude balloon intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) company, described SkyWeaver as bringing data processing and model inference onto World View's Stratollite.4–5

Brock said he believes Regna can become "a foundational AI platform" for the U.S. Department of War, allied governments and the defense and industrial companies that serve them. Beginning with ISR, Regna plans to expand into other mission areas and into security, critical infrastructure and industrial markets. Neither the release nor the letter gives an investment amount or names who will run Regna.1

Ondas says it will work with Regna and Palantir to support initial customer deployments over the coming months.1 Whether those deployments include customers other than Ondas, and who any financial partner turns out to be, will show whether Regna draws buyers and capital beyond its parent.1–2

Palantir's U.S. commercial revenue overtakes U.S. government revenue

U.S. commercial revenue pulls ahead even as U.S. government revenue grows 96% year over year.

In the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2026, Palantir's U.S. commercial revenue overtook its U.S. government revenue. U.S. commercial revenue reached $984 million, compared with $953 million from U.S. government customers. The company called it the first such crossover in its history.1

U.S. commercial revenue added $220 million from the previous quarter, compared with U.S. government's $144 million increase.1 That reversed the government's $45 million lead in the previous quarter.2

U.S. commercial contract value moved differently from revenue. Palantir closed $1.463 billion in U.S. commercial total contract value in the third quarter, up 11% year over year.1 That was down about 31% from the second quarter.1–2

U.S. commercial remaining deal value reached $6.517 billion. It grew 4% sequentially, compared with 29% sequential growth in U.S. commercial revenue. Both contract-value measures presume customers exercise all available contract options and no contracts are terminated.1

Palantir raised its full-year revenue guidance to $8.530 billion to $8.534 billion.1 Its previous range was $8.150 billion to $8.158 billion.2 It also raised U.S. commercial revenue guidance to more than $3.559 billion from more than $3.424 billion.1–2

Palantir's U.S. revenue mix shifted toward commercial customers while U.S. government revenue growth accelerated to 96% year over year from 90% in the second quarter.1–2 The release provides no comparable U.S. government contract-value figures or government revenue guidance, limiting what the crossover establishes about the future revenue mix.1

Contracts

Army awards nine companies NGC2 app contracts worth about $93.6 million in year one

The nine join Anduril, Palantir, Raft and Striveworks in the Army's Next Generation Command and Control software headed to I Corps. The Army's announcement gave only the collective value.

The Army has made initial awards for the warfighting applications in Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2), which it is moving from division-level prototyping to delivery at I Corps.1–2 The awards, with an initial collective one-year value of approximately $93.6 million, went to General Dynamics Mission Systems, Air Space Intelligence Federal, Immersive Wisdom, LMI, Mente Systems, Stilman Advanced Strategies, Onebrief, Rune Technologies and AIR.1 AIR was formerly Govini, Breaking Defense reported.3

Commercial applications were evaluated and awarded to nine named vendors

The awards add to the software capabilities provided by Anduril, Palantir, Raft and Striveworks for the NGC2 data layer and core artificial intelligence capabilities

The awards add to the software that Anduril, Palantir, Raft and Striveworks provide for the NGC2 data layer and core artificial intelligence capabilities.1 According to Breaking Defense, the Army named Anduril in June to lead the common data layer baseline, with support from Palantir and Raft. On Monday, Anduril announced a $162.8 million initial base period for its early NGC2 work, Breaking Defense reported. The company said options could take the total to $1.8 billion over five years.3

A year of prototyping with I Corps' 4th and 25th Infantry Divisions informed the software capabilities and requirements to scale across the force. The Army says the NGC2 ecosystem will provide tools across six warfighting functions, from fires and intelligence to protection.1 What the nine companies' applications will do is less clear. According to Breaking Defense, an Army spokesperson declined to describe their specific tasks, citing security concerns. Speaking generally, the spokesperson said they will support planning and course-of-action analysis, airspace management and deconfliction, and sustainment management and decision support.3

Any follow-on awards after the initial year will show which of the nine stay in the stack as the Army carries NGC2 to I Corps and future formations. Entry stays open too: the Army says it will keep evaluating and awarding commercial technologies through the NGC2 Commercial Solutions Opening.1
