Anduril Industries is an American defence technology company founded in 2017 that builds autonomous systems and command software for military and border security customers. Rather than bidding on cost-plus programmes, it develops products with its own capital and sells them as finished systems, from surveillance towers and counter-drone interceptors to underwater vehicles and collaborative combat aircraft. Its Lattice software platform fuses sensor data into a single operating picture and controls the hardware family, and the company is headquartered in Costa Mesa, California with a large manufacturing site in Ohio.

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.
