Overview
Gotham is Palantir Technologies' founding software platform and remains its flagship product for defense, intelligence and law-enforcement customers in the United States and allied countries. It integrates data from disparate sensors, databases and intelligence feeds into a single operating picture, letting analysts and commanders see, understand and act across the modern battlespace, from fixed operations centers down to the tactical edge. Gotham's applications and workflow tools run on Palantir's shared Foundry-managed data ontology, the same underlying architecture used across the company's AIP and Apollo platforms, and the system underpins much of Palantir's long-running work with the US Department of Defense, intelligence community and allied militaries on intelligence fusion, targeting support and real-time situational awareness.
