Data analytics and AI software platform company Palantir (PLTR) has secured another win from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) after it was revealed that its Maven Smart System would be embedded across the military. The Maven Smart System is Palantir’s AI-powered battlefield intelligence platform, developed as part of the DOD’s Project Maven. It is an AI system that analyzes massive amounts of battlefield data (especially video and sensor feeds) to identify threats, targets, and patterns in real time.

Commenting on the development, Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve ​Feinberg said in a letter to Pentagon officials that “It is imperative that we invest now and with focus to deepen the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across the Joint Force and establish AI-enabled decision-making as the cornerstone of our strategy.” Elaborating on the same, Feinberg believes that with Maven, the government can strengthen the military's hands "with the latest tools necessary to detect, deter, and dominate our adversaries in all domains."
