Germany is evaluating 30 AI tools for its military with a prototype due in 2027

Germany's Bundeswehr is testing 30 AI tools to enhance battlefield decision-making using drone and satellite data, aiming for a prototype by mid-2027 and full deployment in 2028. The effort excludes the US Palantir system, focusing on mostly German companies to reduce foreign reliance. This approach contrasts with other NATO members already using deployed systems, highlighting a trade-off between immediate capability and sovereign control.
