Palantir Maven

• The US Department of Defense designated Palantir's Maven Smart System as a core program for operations planning, per a March 9, 2026 memorandum by Deputy Secretary Steven Feinberg. • The status ensures stable long-term funding and permanent AI integration across all US armed forces branches. • Maven has supported thousands of strikes in the Middle East, including Iran, in recent weeks.

• Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg declared Palantir's Maven Smart System an official program of record in a March 9 letter, locking in long-term use of Palantir's weapons-targeting technology across the U.S. military. • Feinberg stated embedding Maven would provide warfighters "with the latest tools necessary to detect, deter, and dominate our adversaries in all domains," with implementation expected by the close of fiscal year 2026 in September. • Maven is a command-and-control software platform that analyzes battlefield data and identifies targets; it is already the primary AI operating system for U.S. military operations.
