# Thunderforge Program The DOD's flagship program to use AI agents for U.S. military planning and operations. [[Scale AI]] won the prime contract, partnering with [[Anduril]] (Lattice platform) and Microsoft (LLMs). ## Deployment Initial deployment supports: - U.S. Indo-Pacific Command - U.S. European Command Focus areas: campaign development, theater-wide resource distribution, and strategic analysis. ## Significance Thunderforge represents the Pentagon's bet that AI agents — not just analytics tools — can transform military planning. This goes beyond [[Palantir]]'s descriptive analytics into prescriptive, autonomous military decision-support. The partnership between Scale AI, Anduril, and Microsoft shows how the defense AI stack is coalescing around a few key players. ## See Also - [[Scale AI]] - [[Alexandr Wang]] - [[Anduril]] - [[Dual-Use AI]]
