Anduril Lattice

Anduril's "operating system for war" — software that fuses sensors into one picture and commands swarms of autonomous systems at machine speed, letting one operator run many drones. It anchors a $20B US Army contract and the Air Force's drone-wingman program.

Anduril's self-described "operating system for war" — software that ingests data from scattered sensors, fuses it with edge AI into a single common operating picture, and then commands effectors and autonomous systems at machine speed, so one operator can run many machines. Anduril calls it "the core of all other Anduril products."

Overview

Lattice is Anduril Industries' AI-powered command-and-control, sensor-fusion and mission-autonomy software — the second entry in the Lexicon's Command & Software domain after Delta. It takes feeds from radar, electro-optical/infrared, RF/EW sensors and drones, fuses them into one common operating picture, and orchestrates responses across both Anduril's own hardware and third-party systems. It ships as Lattice for Command & Control, Lattice for Mission Autonomy (the "one operator, many systems" autonomy layer Anduril pitches as "affordable mass"), Lattice Mesh (decentralized edge networking), and an open Lattice SDK with standard APIs and a developer sandbox. It commands Anduril's Ghost, Roadrunner, Bolt and Fury/YFQ-44A, and increasingly third-party kit — and it now anchors a $20 billion US Army contract vehicle.
