The reported role is data storage, networking and cybersecurity to protect information feeding command and control systems, possibly as part of a multi-company data security group involving Google spinoff Aalyria Technologies.

SpaceX, Palantir and Anduril are already described as developing command and control software for the system.

No agreement, contract value or defined Google role is confirmed, with Thai relay naklongpoong explicitly noting no deal confirmation yet.
