GE Aerospace and Palantir Technologies Inc. announced a multi-year partnership expansion to accelerate the transformation of military aviation readiness for the U.S. Air Force and operations across GE Aerospace?s production system. Together, the companies are deploying advanced agentic AI-powered solutions to ensure GE can maximize production and aircraft remain mission ready. As the demands on the warfighter and aviation have grown, so has the need for innovation?not only in hardware, but in the digital systems that enable supply chains to keep fleets mission-ready.
To better address the evolving needs of warfighters, GE Aerospace and Palantir have partnered to bolster warfighter readiness. Together, they are helping predict and prevent potential failures before they occur, unlocking supply chains that were gridlocked using AI, and building a closed loop from field signal to supplier action across every fleet. The partnership began with a focused mission: keeping the Air Force?s T-38 trainer jets flying by improving readiness for the complex J85 engine, which is the workhorse responsible for training America?s next generation of U.S. Air Force pilots.
In early 2024, GE Aerospace and Palantir piloted a sustainment workflow that gave GE Aerospace and the Air Force visibility into parts demand and shortages, driving improvements in readiness and efficiency. Building on this success, the partnership has rapidly expanded to GE Aerospace?s broader production system, supporting sustainment, MRO, and new engine production. GE Aerospace uses Palantir?s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) across select supply chain functions, helping orchestrate activities including fulfillment, sourcing, allocation, maintenance, repair, and customer service.
This new architecture empowers GE Aerospace?s workforce to focus on high-value problem-solving, while AI agents facilitate automation of manual, repetitive tasks.
