Dataminr's First Alert Advanced goes live on NATO's Maven Smart System
Dataminr's AI-powered real-time intelligence is going live across NATO as part of the alliance's Palantir Maven Smart System, CEO Ted Bailey said in early September 2026 — deploying the company's newly launched First Alert Advanced platform to the entire NATO enterprise.
First Alert Advanced, unveiled on 26 August 2026, adds autonomous "intel agents" that scan the universe of publicly available information as events unfold, corroborate data, and generate continuously updated "live" briefs for defence and government users. Dataminr says the product is already relied on by the militaries of 18 nations, including 15 NATO members, and that pre-launch customers include NATO and nine international militaries. Colonel Arnel David, Director of Task Force Maven at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), called it "a giant leap forward for NATO's real-time intelligence picture".
Alongside the launch, Dataminr disclosed a five-year, $318 million contract from the U.S. Department of War for situational awareness, force protection, and indications and warnings on global events — a competitive award issued by the Air Force with work running to June 2031. A new app on Palantir's Foundry Marketplace ties First Alert's real-time intelligence to government data layers for agentic analytics workflows.
