France and Germany take aim at Palantir
They signed it Friday. Merz (
@_FriedrichMerz) and Macron (
@EmmanuelMacron) pledged to examine building a "European sovereign digital backbone," naming France's Arcadia as the model alongside comparable German systems, per Politico.
Arcadia is the French military's AI command-and-control platform, pitched against Palantir's Maven. NATO runs Maven today.
France's DGSI already dropped Palantir in June. Germany's spy agency went with ChapsVision.
