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.
The Maneuver Dominance Division applies mission autonomy to a future fight by orchestrating teams of both Anduril and third-party uncrewed systems in amassed maneuver warfare. We are attacking the hardest and most pressing problem facing modern militaries - how do you build, deploy, and command autonomous systems that are highly capable, rapidly replaceable, and cost effective while also complimenting an existing human-centric force. We believe solving this problem will fundamentally change the battlefield calculus and tip the scales in favor of democracy.
