The US Central Command (CENTCOM) integrated American defense tech company Anduril’s Lattice software during its Desert Guardian 1.0 exercise recently.
The exercise trained troops in countering unmanned aerial systems, where it used Lattice as a third-party command and control system that provided comprehensive situational awareness of airborne threats.
More than 10 sensor teams used Anduril’s software to integrate multiple sensors into a single dashboard, resulting in real-time data sharing, fusion, and tasking across diverse systems.
Typically, sensor integration efforts in the military are a “high-touch” process involving many people and multiple months due to the sophisticated technology involved and depending on a mission’s requirements.
Meanwhile, Lattice, through its Application Programming Interface and Software Development Kit documentation, enabled the warfighters to quickly integrate their systems by themselves, with some doing it in real time.
“It’s a privilege to participate in and support Desert Guardian 1.0. Central Command plays a critical role in driving modernization efforts within the Department of Defense, and this exercise provides a vital platform for collaboration between industry, government agencies, and end-users to solve emerging challenges,” said VP of Air Defense at Anduril Industries Pat Morris.
Lattice software is also present in Anduril’s recently unveiled autonomous attack drone.
