Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century's most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

The Radar team at Anduril develops state-of-the-art sensing capabilities for air surveillance, counter-UAS, and counter-intrusion missions. Our software-defined radars provide persistent, all-weather detection and tracking of aerial and ground threats, seamlessly integrating with Lattice OS to enable autonomous decision-making and multi-sensor fusion. We're building next-generation radar systems that are rapidly deployable, highly mobile, and designed for the modern battlefield—from protecting critical infrastructure to enabling advanced air defense operations.
