Lattice

Active

AI-powered command-and-control software platform that fuses data from thousands of sensors and autonomous systems into a single operational picture, letting small teams direct large fleets of machines. Lattice underpins nearly every Anduril product and is increasingly sold as infrastructure in its own right - it is the software backbone of the Army's SBMC soldier systems and the tactical C2 layer for national counter-drone defense.

Announced next steps from Anduril Industries that mention Lattice.

  1. 2026-2027

    Mature the Guam Defense System Battle Manager

    Anduril demonstrated its Lattice-powered Battle Manager for the Guam Defense System at Exercise Valiant Shield 2026, fusing Army, Air Force, Navy and Missile Defense Agency assets and generating autonomous engagement recommendations less than six months after the development contract. The company said the prototype will be matured from exercise feedback and continuous testing over the following months; as of September 15, 2026 no follow-on fielding award had been announced. The next test is whether that software layer moves from a one-exercise demo into a fielded joint air-and-missile-defense command-and-control capability for Guam and other Indo-Pacific nodes.

  2. 2027

    Fly Lattice on Hermeus Quarterhorse

    Hermeus selected Anduril on September 3, 2026 to integrate Lattice for Mission Autonomy on Quarterhorse Mk 2, the first third-party Group 5 airframe to carry the stack. Integration is underway and the first mission-autonomy test flight is planned for 2027, a commercial proving ground alongside Anduril's bid for the Air Force Collaborative Combat Aircraft software layer.

  3. Mid-2027

    CCA Increment 1 autonomy down-select and software IOC

    Alongside the June 2026 production award, the Air Force gave Anduril, Shield AI, and Collins Aerospace six-month mission-autonomy contract line items to advance their respective autonomy stacks (Anduril's Lattice for Mission Autonomy, Shield AI's Hivemind, Collins' Sidekick) toward the CCA's initial operating capability criteria; after that six months the Air Force plans to down-select further toward one or two vendors for a second six-month option, with a single autonomy provider and IOC targeted for summer 2027. The Fury's first live AMRAAM shot on July 10, 2026 and September 14, 2026 disclosure of F-35 formation flying de-risk the airframe side of that bid; winning the software layer as well would make Anduril the program's dominant player. As of September 15, 2026 the summer 2027 down-select still stood.

  4. Unspecified

    Japan evaluates Lattice for Self-Defense Force command and control

    Japan's government is reported to be weighing Anduril's Lattice AI, alongside Palantir's Maven Smart System, for Self-Defense Force command and control, aiming to speed decision-making and improve interoperability with US forces while trying to avoid long-term dependence on foreign technology via a proposed Japanese Sakana AI-based command layer. Still at the consideration stage as of September 10, 2026, with no procurement timeline announced.

  1. Anduril and ORIGIN agree to trial BLAZE on Lattice

    On September 25, Anduril and Latvian uncrewed-systems maker ORIGIN signed a memorandum of understanding to explore integrating ORIGIN's BLAZE autonomous counter-drone interceptor with Anduril's Lattice software. The companies said they will run joint testing, demonstrations and validation in Latvia as a layered counter-UAS option for Latvian air defense. The MoU was signed during a LIAA trade mission alongside Latvia's presidential visit to the United States; it is an integration trial, not a procurement contract.

  2. Hermeus picks Anduril Lattice for Quarterhorse autonomy

    Hermeus selected Anduril on September 3, 2026 to integrate Lattice for Mission Autonomy on the Quarterhorse Mk 2 high-Mach drone, the first commercial deal to put Anduril's autonomy stack on a third-party Group 5 aircraft. The companies said integration is underway and the first mission-autonomy test flight is planned for 2027, pairing Lattice with an airframe that has already flown supersonic under a Defense Innovation Unit contract. Anduril called the pact a chance to validate end-to-end autonomy on an independent high-speed platform as it also competes for the Air Force Collaborative Combat Aircraft software layer.

  3. Anduril demos Battle Manager at Valiant Shield 2026

    Anduril demonstrated its Lattice-powered Battle Manager for the Guam Defense System during Exercise Valiant Shield 2026, fusing U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy and Missile Defense Agency assets into a single air-and-missile-defense picture. The company said the software generated autonomous weapon-engagement recommendations less than six months after winning the development contract, and billed the demo as a first-of-its-kind capability delivered to the Department of War.

  4. Anduril's first satellite returns first calibrated images

    Anduril said August 17 that its first fully-integrated satellite, ANDURIL-216, has returned first calibrated images from all three onboard payloads, a long-wave infrared sensor and two electro-optical sensors. The spacecraft launched July 7 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 Transporter-17 rideshare and went from clean-sheet design to orbit in under two years, with Anduril using its Lattice software to command and task an on-orbit spacecraft for the first time.

  5. Japan weighs Palantir and Anduril AI for military command

    Japan's government is considering deploying Palantir's Maven Smart System, which analyzes intelligence and recommends targets and tactics, and Anduril's Lattice, which fuses sensor data and coordinates autonomous assets, within its Self-Defense Forces command and control structure, Nikkei Asia reported in early August. The proposal aims to close a decision-speed gap with US forces and is expected to feature in revisions to Japan's national security strategy later this year, while Tokyo separately develops a domestic alternative based on Sakana AI.
