Pentagon to Adopt Palantir AI as Core U.S. Military System
March 20th, 2026Via: Reuters:
Palantir’s Maven artificial intelligence system will become an official program of record, Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg said in a letter to Pentagon leaders, a move that locks in long-term use of Palantir’s weapons-targeting ?technology across the U.S. military.
In the March 9 letter to senior Pentagon leaders and U.S. military commanders, Feinberg said embedding Palantir’s Maven ?Smart System would provide warfighters “with the latest tools necessary to detect, deter, and dominate our adversaries in all domains”.

Maven is a command-and-control software platform that analyzes battlefield data and identifies targets. It is already the primary AI operating system for the U.S. military, which has carried out thousands of targeted strikes against Iran over the last three weeks.
Designating Maven as a program of record will streamline its adoption across all arms of the military and provide ?stable, long-term funding, Feinberg said.
