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 describes Lattice as command-and-control software supporting sensor fusion, track cueing and target engagement; the U.S. Air Force identifies Anduril as a competing mission-autonomy supplier for Collaborative Combat Aircraft.
Overview
Lattice serves command-and-control and mission-autonomy roles: Anduril says it supported integrated air-defence operations at Flytrap 5.0, while the U.S. Air Force has awarded Anduril a competing CCA mission-autonomy production option. The U.S. Army identifies Lattice and Palantir Foundry as components of NGC2’s common edge-to-cloud data mesh, with Anduril leading the 4th Infantry Division’s full-stack implementation. On 5 October 2026, Anduril announced an award to field NGC2’s common data layer beginning with I Corps, comprising a $162.8 million base period and options potentially bringing the value to $1.8 billion over five years. By 13 October, I Corps had begun rolling out selected NGC2 capabilities to its headquarters and enabling brigades, DefenseScoop reported, without confirmation of completed delivery of the entire Lattice-containing stack. The U.S. Army announced its enterprise agreement on 13 March 2026, covering Lattice alongside hardware, data, compute infrastructure and support, with a $20 billion maximum ordering value, a five-year base period and a five-year optional ordering period. The U.S. Department of War’s contract notice provides for funding through individual orders; the ceiling is not obligated funding and supplies no Lattice unit price. The U.S. Air Force retained separate mission-autonomy competition and plans to choose the primary Increment 1 software provider in summer 2027.
