About

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI‑powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting‑edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

Anduril is developing and deploying an integrated system to make UxVs highly effective through the entire mission lifecycle. From fleet management, to mission planning, live execution, and integrations into other DOD systems, Lattice is enabling the military to fight at scale with robots across all domains. Anduril is leveraging AI across all aspects of this lifecycle to reduce the barrier to entry for new operators, and increase the scale at which operators can leverage Lattice.
