Helsing Plans Berlin AI Targeting Debut Against Palantir
Helsing, a German defense technology company, plans to unveil military AI targeting software in Berlin as a European alternative to Palantir’s widely used Maven system. The software is intended to analyze information from drones, satellites and other sensors to help speed battlefield decisions, while emphasizing European control and independence from U.S. suppliers. European concerns have grown amid President Donald Trump’s threats to leave NATO and recent episodes involving limits on Ukraine’s Starlink service and temporary restrictions on access to advanced U.S. AI models. Palantir says its customers retain operational control and that it cannot remotely deactivate its software. Germany does not currently plan to buy Maven and intends to introduce its own AI-supported military system starting in 2027, but Helsing has not been named as the supplier; the company has yet to disclose enough technical or procurement details to assess its new system.
