Week in Space Data, every Friday.
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 is a defense technology company that builds autonomous systems and Lattice, a software platform that uses artificial intelligence to fuse data from disparate sensors for command and control. The U.S. Space Force selected Lattice in 2024 for use in its space surveillance network.
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.
Not ranked: No measurable space activity in our data (space-coded federal awards or subcontracts, space revenue in the company’s SEC annual report, an orbital launch, or a space-segment profile: for a defense company or a diversified aerospace group, a subsector naming space work, and for a diversified group a space line cited at $100M or more): scored, but not ranked as a space company.
