DIU and U.S. Navy select Anduril for XL-AUV program

The Defense Innovation Unit and U.S. Navy have selected Anduril Industries to develop extra-large autonomous underwater vehicles under a rapid prototyping effort aimed at closing a persistent operational gap in long-range undersea capability.

A Defense Department task force focused on counter-drone coordination has awarded Anduril Industries an $87 million contract to deploy its Lattice software as the government's common tactical command and control platform for countering unmanned aerial threats.

A Belgian defense firm, a U.S. autonomous systems company and a Finnish telecommunications giant have joined forces to develop a sovereign counter-drone capability aimed at protecting Belgian military sites and critical infrastructure.

Anduril participated in Digital Shield 1.0 in Estonia, connecting U.S. and allied sensors, radars and command-and-control systems into a unified, resilient network supporting NATO’s emerging Eastern Flank Deterrence Line. The exercise demonstrated how shared data, interoperability and digital speed can counter increasing Russian airspace incursions. The results highlight that NATO’s deterrence advantage will rely on real-time connectivity, distributed systems and rapid integration across the alliance.

Anduril Industries was selected to provide Lattice as the U.S. Army’s fire-control platform for the IBCS-M counter-UAS program, integrating sensors and automating fire control to shorten the kill chain. In a seven-day trial at Yuma Proving Ground, Lattice reportedly integrated a new sensor and effector quickly and achieved four of four live-fire intercepts, demonstrating autonomy-enhanced tracking and engagement.

Anduril Industries has begun flight testing its YFQ-44A Collaborative Combat Aircraft, a semi-autonomous fighter developed with the U.S. Air Force to advance manned-unmanned teaming and affordable mass production. Designed and flown in just 556 days, the YFQ-44A marks a major step toward integrating autonomy into next-generation air combat operations.

To respond to the growing threat of unauthorized drones in the homeland, Anduril has delivered a rapidly deployable kit of field-proven counter-UAS systems to USNORTHCOM. The system was recently demonstrated at Falcon Peak 25.2 at Eglin Air Force Base, validating that counter-UAS solution meets NORTHCOM’s operational requirements in full.

Anduril Industries and Raytheon successfully completed a static fire test of an advanced solid rocket motor featuring a Highly Loaded Grain configuration — a major advancement in propulsion technology for air-to-air weapon systems.

Anduril announced plans to expand its presence in South Korea opening a new office in Seoul, appointing a new country leader and forming new partnerships with local industry to develop defense products for the Korean market. The expansion coincides with a visit from Anduril’s founder Palmer Luckey, who will meet with key officials and industry leaders as part of a two-day visit to the Republic of Korea.

Rheinmetall and Anduril Industries announced a strategic partnership to co-develop and deliver a suite of software-defined autonomous air systems and advanced propulsion capabilities for Europe. The partnership is centered on the development of three proven capabilities, with the intention to extend to more over time.
