GE Aerospace and Palantir Expand Partnership to Transform Military Aircraft Readiness with AI

GE Aerospace and Palantir Technologies Inc. announced on March 12, 2026, a multi-year expansion of their partnership. The collaboration will deploy agentic AI-powered solutions to support military aviation readiness for the U.S. Air Force and operations across GE Aerospace production systems. The companies aim to maximize production and keep aircraft mission ready. The partnership began with an early 2024 pilot focused on the J85 engine for T-38 trainer jets. That workflow gave GE Aerospace and the Air Force visibility into parts demand and shortages to improve readiness and efficiency. The effort has since expanded to sustainment, maintenance repair and overhaul, and new engine production across the broader GE Aerospace system. GE Aerospace now applies Palantir Artificial Intelligence Platform across select supply chain functions. These include fulfillment, sourcing, allocation, maintenance, repair, and customer service. AI agents automate repetitive tasks while the workforce addresses higher value problem solving. Amy Gowder, president and CEO of Defense and Systems for GE Aerospace, said integrating data across the enterprise and applying AI to predict demand helps keep more aircraft available for airmen training. Mike Gallagher, Head of Defense at Palantir, said pairing GE Aerospace engineering expertise with Palantir AI software unifies data to keep aircraft available and airmen trained.
