- European concerns centre on reliance on US technology.
- Germany aims for its own AI system by 2028.

## Summary

German defence company Helsing plans to unveil AI-based military targeting software in Berlin, positioning it as a European alternative to Palantir’s Maven system. The launch comes as European governments debate whether relying on US defence technology could leave them exposed to decisions made in Washington.

The war in Ukraine has demonstrated how AI can speed battlefield decisions by analysing data from drones, satellites and other sensors. Germany says it will not buy Maven for its forces and aims to deploy its own AI system from 2027, with full implementation expected in 2028; Palantir says its customers retain operational control and that it has no remote “kill switch”.
