NATO announced a Palantir partnership to acquire the controversial Maven Smart System – an effort to complete a NATO “digital transformation”.
In late March, the North American Treaty Organization (NATO) Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) and Palantir Technologies Inc. announced a new agreement for the Palantir Maven Smart System NATO (MSS NATO) to be deployed by NATO’s Allied Command Operations (ACO).
Palantir was co-founded by Alex Karp and Peter Thiel, the Technocrat-Zionists who also happen to be Steering Committee members of the Bilderberg Group.

The new deal will see NCIA partner with Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) and Palantir to deliver Maven Smart System NATO to the Warfighter. A move which NCIA general manger Ludwig Decamps says will provide “customized state-of-the-art AI capabilities to the Alliance” and allow NATO to “operate effectively and decisively.”
The Maven Smart System (MSS) uses AI-generated algorithms and memory learning capabilities to scan and identify enemy systems.
Palantir’s MSS NATO makes use of “cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI)” for core military operations, including using large language models (LLMs) for generative and machine learning.
Shon Manasco, Senior Counselor at Palantir Technologies, said the arrangement with NCIA and SHAPE will “bolster deterrence by deploying an AI-enabled warfighting platform”.
General Markus Laubenthal, SHAPE Chief of Staff, said Maven will allow NATO to be “more agile, adaptable, and responsive to emerging threats”.
SHAPE is the headquarters and commander of NATO’s ACO based near Mons, Belgium.
Breaking Defense reported on the new partnership, noting that “NATO has been bedeviled for decades by its member nations using incompatible technology, ranging from secure radios that can’t communicate with foreign models to fuel nozzles that don’t fit in foreign tanks.” Maven is expected to combine databases which were previously “siloed” or separated and streamline coordination and planning across NATO’s 32 member states.
While NATO’s purchase of Palantir’s MSS is new, the Maven system has already been in use by certain US military outfits, including the Joint Staff in the Pentagon, the Stuttgart-based European Command, and in the Ukraine-Russia conflict the US has used Maven to spot Russian defense outposts. In April 2024, Palantir was also awarded a $480 million deal by the Army for the MSS.
The financial details of the arrangement have not been publicly disclosed, but, as The Financial Times notes, “it is likely to be one of Palantir’s most significant” military contracts of 2025.
The NCIA itself is part of the broader organization of NATO. A promotional video on the front page of the NCIA website says the agency’s job is to connect “every corner of the Alliance” to help it maintain its “technological edge”.
The website also states, “NCIA reinforces NATO’s ability to adapt to emerging challenges by providing cutting-edge technology and innovation, and fostering NATO’s digital transformation.”
Part of this digital transformation includes “modernising the NATO Digital Backbone” with the use of “sensors, effectors and deciders across military and political domains”. NCIA does this by “fostering technology” and “supporting pro-active and reactive cyber-security”.
NCIA also discusses helping NATO embrace “emerging and disruptive” technologies such as 5G, or 5th Generation wireless technology.
“5G and beyond technologies may bring new opportunities to the military in many areas, such as capability development, interoperability and communications resilience,” the agency writes. They aim to use 5G to “facilitate interoperability in multinational scenarios.” NCIA notes that these services have already been used in Latvia to “connect a variety of autonomous devices such as drones and land platforms, seamlessly, over long distances.”
They also discuss the use of so-called quantum technologies, such as quantum computing and quantum key distribution.
