Anduril Lattice

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.

Development

Lattice grew out of border surveillance, not a traditional weapons program: Anduril's first Sentry towers went up in San Diego County in early 2018, scaling to roughly 290 Customs and Border Protection towers by 2023 (with a fresh $363M CBP order for 200-plus Extended Range Sentry Towers in June 2026). Its first major military demonstration came at the September 2020 Advanced Battle Management System exercise at White Sands, where it tracked simulated cruise missiles. Anduril unveiled Lattice for Mission Autonomy in May 2023, reframing the product from "many operators of one system" to "one operator of many systems." The decisive commercial step came in March 2026 with a $20 billion firm-fixed-price US Army enterprise contract consolidating the Lattice suite, completion estimated 2036, opened by an $87M first task order (JIATF-401) for counter-drone tactical C2.
