Anduril Industries builds the Lattice AI platform for autonomous command and control, extending into space domain awareness as a newer entrant among defense primes.
ACTIVEAnduril Industries builds advanced defense technology including the Lattice AI platform for autonomous command and control across all domains including space. The company is rapidly emerging as a new-generation defense prime with significant space domain awareness capabilities.
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company founded by Palmer Luckey, leveraging Silicon Valley innovation to transform U.S. and allied defense capabilities. Its core product, Lattice, is an AI-powered command-and-control platform that fuses sensor data across domains to enable autonomous threat detection and response. In the space domain, Lattice provides space domain awareness, satellite tracking, and orbital threat assessment capabilities. Anduril is also developing autonomous systems, counter-drone technology, and undersea vehicles, positioning itself as a next-generation defense prime competing with legacy contractors.
