As OPT moves from individual deployments to repeatable delivery of its autonomous maritime systems and services, the Palantir Foundry platform will create greater end-to-end visibility across key business functions, from manufacturing and supply chain through deployment, fleet operations, maintenance, and customer support. Drawing on deep expertise in Palantir Foundry implementation and engineering, Foxtrot will connect data and workflows across these functions, model the relationships and dependencies that drive execution, and establish governed workflows for day-to-day decision-making.
“Scaling autonomous maritime systems requires more than building additional vehicles and platforms. It requires the infrastructure to deploy, operate, and support those systems reliably at increasing volume,” said Philipp Stratmann, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ocean Power Technologies. “Palantir Foundry gives us a powerful foundation to connect our operations and make faster, data-driven decisions as we scale. Working with Foxtrot allows us to accelerate that implementation, and we are already linking existing records into the Palantir Foundry platform.”
“The ocean is the next great frontier for autonomy, and OPT is using AI to redefine national security, provide zero-emission power source for offshore operations, and support marine research,” said Christine Williams, Co-CEO of Foxtrot Professional Services. “This is exactly the kind of bold, consequential mission that is part of Foxtrot’s DNA. We’re thrilled to partner with OPT to build the operating backbone to take these missions to the next level.”
“Our goal is to build the operating infrastructure today that supports significantly greater scale tomorrow,” Stratmann added. “This is another step towards a more scalable, integrated maritime technology business.”
