Investing.com -- Knightscope Inc (NASDAQ:KSCP) stock gained over 6% on Thursday after the autonomous security robot developer announced a two-year agreement with Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:NASDAQ:PLTR) to accelerate its entry into the U.S. federal marketplace.
The agreement makes Knightscope a member of Palantir’s FedStart program, providing the company with an accelerated pathway to FedRAMP High and Department of Defense Impact Level 5 accredited environment, along with comprehensive onboarding services and direct Authority to Operate support.
Under the partnership, Knightscope will operate its software within Palantir-managed AWS GovCloud clusters to ensure compliance through accredited infrastructure, continuous monitoring, and quarterly third-party assessments - all essential elements for achieving and maintaining federal ATO status.
"This agreement represents a transformational step forward in our federal strategy," said William Santana Li, Chairman and CEO of Knightscope. "By joining Palantir’s FedStart program, we are preparing to deliver our autonomous security technology into some of the most mission-critical and security-conscious environments in the Nation."
The collaboration comes amid increasing calls for a National Robotics Strategy aimed at strengthening domestic innovation and countering foreign influence in robotics. Through this partnership, Knightscope positions itself to scale its AI-driven public safety solutions for national security and critical infrastructure protection applications.
Palantir’s mission to empower American institutions with secure, AI-driven platforms aligns with Knightscope’s public safety objectives, potentially opening new growth opportunities in the federal sector for the robotics company.
