## Definition
**Palantir Mission Manager** is a platform for deploying, integrating, and operating mission software from Palantir and third-party suppliers in secure government environments.
## Modern Defense and Cybersecurity Role
Mission Manager turns an accredited Palantir environment into a distribution and operating layer for a wider supplier ecosystem. It is important to the privatized intelligence market because it allows specialist vendors to contribute capabilities without each becoming a full-stack government prime.
## Chronological Proximity
Mission Manager preceded and supplied the foundation for [[wiki/Palantir FedStart|FedStart]] and was named in Palantir's expanded 2024 work with U.S. Special Operations Command.
## Relational Proximity
