DENVER, October 31, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:PLTR), a leading provider of AI systems, introduced today "The Defense Reformation", a treatise on how to transform the way the government does business as well as rebuild America’s edge in defense-focused, innovative mass production.

Authored by Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar, "The Defense Reformation" calls for an invigoration of competition into the Defense Department, and a broader resurrection of America’s Industrial base. Sankar also outlines what has led to the current reality in which American industries cannot produce a minimum line of ships, subs, munitions and aircraft as well as why the country does not currently have the capacity or capability to rapidly repair and regenerate weapon systems. He then details 18 theses that will lead to the resurrection of the American Industrial Base.

The full treatise is available here: www.18theses.com

"We are in a state of undeclared emergency and have no time to waste in resurrecting the American Industrial Base we depended on in the depths of the Cold War," wrote Sankar. "It was the American Industrial Base that underwrote American victory and Pax Americana. It can once again - if we embrace it as our savior."
