Helsing built an AI system that prepares targets for weapons systems and says every decision will carry a human name

German defense tech company Helsing unveiled Clarity, an agent-based platform that fuses sensor feeds, open-source intelligence, reports and existing systems to identify military forces, facilities and positions and prepare target recommendations for human review before packaging data for a weapons system. Helsing says Clarity runs on the customer's own infrastructure with European-developed models, follows the Modular Open Systems Approach and NATO standards, and documents every decision with the name of the responsible person. The article notes Helsing is entering a market led by Palantir's Maven and cites reported cases in Iran, Gaza and a near-miss involving a Chinese ship to show where such oversight promises break down.
