Denver-based software firm Palantir Technologies secured a 10-year, $10 billion contract to improve the U.S. Army's military readiness and efficiency.

The software company’s enterprise contract over the next decade cements its central role in warfighting for years to come.

The U.S. Army on Thursday said it was consolidating dozens of contracts into a single enterprise deal with Palantir , giving it volume-based discounts and the option to purchase up to $10 billion from the software provider over 10 years.
