Project Maven is a military AI system built by Palantir that synthesizes satellite imagery, radar, social media, and dozens of data sources to identify and target entities on the battlefield, accelerating the kill chain from hours to seconds. Originally prototyped at Google in 2017 before moving to Palantir with Microsoft, Amazon, and Anthropic contributing technologies, Maven is now deployed across US armed forces and recently adopted by NATO. During the Iran strike, the system enabled the US to hit over 1,000 targets in 24 hours—nearly double the scale of the 2003 Iraq invasion.
