(Bloomberg) — Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) has won a $100 million contract that will extend access to artificial intelligence targeting tools to more US military personnel, giving them access to the company’s digital warfare platform.

The platform, known as Maven Smart System, helps create a picture of the same battlefield on thousands of digital screens simultaneously. It draws on US intelligence data and uses computer-vision algorithms and AI-enabled software from other companies to help make sense of a situation and to find adversaries. The US military has used the system to help identify targets for air strikes in the Middle East this year, Bloomberg has reported.

Shannon Clark, head of defense growth at Palantir, said the contract would extend access to Maven Smart System to all five US military services — the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy and Space Force — expanding the platform to tens of thousands more service members.

Selected units in specific locations so far have had access to the system, she said. Palantir in May won a $480 million contract to extend Maven Smart System to combatant commands, which run military operations in specific locations.

Maven, which relies on multiple contractors and AI providers alongside Palantir, started as a project in 2017 and is now a program of record mostly run by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. The Defense Department has released little information about how Maven is used operationally. Bloomberg has reported the US has relied on it to offer targeting support to Ukraine, as well as for American operations in Yemen, Iraq and Sudan.

US defense officials have defended the department’s use of computer vision and other machine-learning algorithms to inform such targeting decisions, arguing that it ultimately falls to humans to make decisions about battlefield actions. Some experts argue the system could encourage human operators to give undue trust to such machines, however. An advisory body convened by the United Nations on Thursday called on countries to limit military use of AI to prevent human rights violations and a possible new arms race.

The contract was announced by the Defense Department on Wednesday in a daily notice saying the Palo Alto, California-based company has been awarded a five-year contract to supply user licenses for its Maven Smart System AI tool along with related software support and hardware, with a top value of $99.8 million, according to the announcement.
