Anduril has secured a contract to enhance the uncrewed platforms used by the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), focusing on the integration of advanced autonomy systems.
Under the three-year, $86-million contract, the company will accelerate the development and deployment of mission autonomy software for “multi-domain uncrewed systems” that support USSOCOM’s operations.
This software will enable the coordination of control systems, sensors, weapons, and other payloads across multiple vehicles, allowing for synchronized operations.
“To achieve the benefits of affordable enterprise capability, operators must be able to task teams of diverse, multi-domain autonomous systems to work together and execute a given mission,” the company emphasized.
Additionally, Anduril will help USSOCOM develop the infrastructure necessary to seamlessly integrate, test, validate, and deploy commercial mission autonomy software and enabling technology for its robotic platforms.
The company plans to demonstrate and integrate this cutting-edge software over the coming months through a series of test events.
Building on Experience
Anduril is poised to draw on its extensive experience in developing advanced software, such as the Lattice platform, which integrates artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced data processing to enhance decision-making.
Since 2022, the company has developed, integrated, and deployed numerous hardware and software solutions in support of USSOCOM’s counter-unmanned systems initiatives.
These solutions empower operators to swiftly respond to emerging threats in diverse operational environments.
For this latest contract, Anduril will apply its Lattice software to integrate top-tier hardware and software capabilities for USSOCOM’s collaborative mission autonomy.
“Anduril will build on that [relationship with USSOCOM] by providing the infrastructure that will accelerate efforts to field and fight with teams of autonomous systems in a constantly changing battlespace,” the company stated.
