Pentagon to adopt Palantir AI as core US military system, memo says

Pentagon’s designation of Maven AI ensures stable funding and streamlined adoption, providing warfighters advanced AI tools to enhance battlefield data analysis and targeting capabilities.

  • Designating Palantir's Maven as a program of record, Feinberg said embedding Maven would provide warfighters 'with the latest tools necessary to detect, deter, and dominate our adversaries in all domains'.
  • To institutionalize the capability, Feinberg wrote that designating Maven as a program of record will streamline its adoption across all arms of the military and provide stable, long-term funding.
  • Palantir says its software does not make lethal decisions and humans remain responsible for approving targets, with Maven analyzing battlefield data from satellites, drones, radars, and sensors.
  • Feinberg's order states oversight of Maven will move from the NGIA to the Pentagon's new AI office within 30 days, with future contracts handled by the U.S. Army, a major industry win.
  • Amid the rollout, United Nations expert panels warned AI weapons targeting without human intervention raises ethical risks, while Reuters reported that the U.S. military has carried out thousands of strikes against Iran over the last three weeks, and Anthropic was recently deemed a Pentagon supply-chain risk.
