Who Wants Smoke? NATO Finalizes Acquisition of Palantir’s AI-Powered Maven Smart System

​Palantir Technologies has secured a significant defense contract with NATO, finalizing the acquisition of its AI-powered Maven Smart System NATO (MSS NATO) for deployment within NATO’s Allied Command Operations.

The agreement, completed on March 25, 2025, is considered one of the fastest procurement processes in NATO’s history, taking only six months from outlining the requirement to acquiring the system. ​

MSS NATO integrates advanced artificial intelligence applications, including large language models and machine learning, to enhance intelligence fusion, targeting, battlespace awareness, and operational planning. The system is expected to become operational within 30 days, providing NATO forces with a common data-enabled warfighting capability. ​

Palantir’s stock rose nearly 5% following the announcement, reflecting investor confidence in the company’s expanding role in international defense technology. Analysts view the deal as geopolitically significant, indicating continued European interest in U.S. defense systems despite discussions about diversifying away from American contractors.

The Maven Smart System, already utilized by the U.S. military, leverages AI to collect and analyze large amounts of data to prioritize targets in battle. NATO’s adoption of the system aims to accelerate the integration of novel AI solutions across its 32 member states, enhancing the alliance’s technological edge in modern warfare.
