REPORTED DEVELOPMENT
Reuters interviewed Louis Mosley, Palantir Executive Vice President for the UK and Europe. He said NATO customers using Maven Smart System retain operational control, that neither Palantir nor the US government can remotely disable it, and that it can operate independently of Palantir staff.
Reuters directly documents the executive's statements, not certification of the technical architecture.

Supplier-declared control, demonstrated operational independence and verified continuity are distinct. An asserted absence of remote shutdown does not necessarily remove dependencies on licences, updates, cloud infrastructure, external models or maintenance.
