I assume the unclassified word "Prism" (which is found everywhere on IC resumes and open job descriptions) refers to Palantir's Prism suite. Could be wrong, but seems logical.

Has anyone found out if this system is actually based on Narus? I associated this program as a super version of the AT&T thing, and if I recall it was understood that was Narus and Co via NSA/FBI?

Indeed. Luckily, the press is all over this like a bad smell.
I mentioned The Story in a new posting just now; they have, surprisingly,
already managed to dig at this spot, a pretty quick response for them:
