European defense AI firm NestAI has launched an initiative to develop sovereign AI models for battlefield autonomy and military command, with the Finnish and Estonian defense forces set to pilot the first systems.

The models will be trained on operational data gathered through the company’s NestOS battlefield operating system, supplemented by synthetic data and large-scale simulation. 

According to Peter Sarlin, executive chairman and founder of NestAI, battlefield AI cannot simply adapt commercial models because modern warfare presents fundamentally different challenges.
