NATO is deploying the Maven Smart System (MSS NATO), an artificial intelligence platform developed by Palantir Technologies to monitor the situation on the Alliance's eastern flank, The Times reports.
The new technology is reportedly designed to analyze intelligence data, track Russian troop movements, and provide timely warnings to commanders about possible changes in the situation.
Which system NATO will use
According to The Times, NATO is beginning to use the Maven Smart System (MSS NATO), a military artificial intelligence system developed by Palantir Technologies.
The platform combines information from various intelligence sources, including satellites, drones, and radar stations, and then analyzes the collected data.
The system's main task is to monitor changes on the Alliance's eastern flank and promptly detect the movement of Russian military units.
What capabilities the Alliance will gain
According to the media outlet, one of Maven's functions will be monitoring the redeployment of Russian troops.
As an example, it cites a scenario in which units of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division begin moving closer to the border with Estonia.
In such a case, the system will automatically detect the changes and transmit the relevant information.
In addition, the artificial intelligence system is designed to provide timely warnings to commanders about potential threats, assist in analyzing the operational situation, and identify possible targets in the event of an armed conflict.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that Kyiv is holding talks with international partners on obtaining licenses to produce Patriot air defense systems.
