Helsing unveils Clarity, an agentic platform that prepares target recommendations for weapons systems

German defense tech company Helsing unveiled Clarity, an agent-based platform that fuses sensor feeds, open-source intelligence and written reports into target recommendations for human review before data is packaged for a weapons system. Helsing says the platform runs on the customer's own infrastructure with models and interfaces developed in Europe, and that a human must authorize every handoff to a weapons system, with each decision documented under the responsible person's name. The article notes Helsing did not say whether Clarity is already running with any customer, and contrasts the promises with reported cases in Iran, Gaza and a 2026 near-miss involving a Chinese ship where AI-generated assessments were trusted uncritically.
