Knightscope partners with Palantir for federal market entry

Knightscope Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP) announced a two-year agreement with Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) to join Palantir's FedStart program, aimed at accelerating the autonomous security robot company's entry into the U.S. federal marketplace.

The partnership provides Knightscope with access to FedRAMP High and DoD Impact Level 5 accredited environments, onboarding services, and Authority to Operate (ATO) support. These capabilities are required for deploying AI-driven security technologies in federal settings.

Under the agreement, Knightscope will operate its software within Palantir-managed AWS GovCloud clusters to ensure compliance through accredited infrastructure, continuous monitoring, and quarterly third-party assessments necessary for 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 as federal leaders consider autonomous technologies for enhanced operations and resilience. Li noted the partnership aligns with current momentum in Washington toward establishing a National Robotics Strategy to ensure U.S. leadership in autonomous systems.

Knightscope develops autonomous security robots and artificial intelligence technologies for public safety applications. The company's systems are designed for use in communities, workplaces, and educational facilities.
