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 Lattice Platform is dedicated to building a comprehensive, integrated platform that enables efficient data management, task orchestration, and system-wide interoperability. Lattice, the foundation for everything we do as a defense technology company, consists of talented and hard-working engineers who are motivated to see their work rapidly deployed on the front lines. Unlike teams building experimental systems, we deploy our solutions in real-world environments. Our work spans core infrastructure, distributed systems, web development, networking, and other critical areas that form the backbone of Anduril's defense technology ecosystem. By combining these diverse, yet interconnected areas of expertise, we aim to create a powerful, scalable ecosystem that supports autonomous robots, data-driven decision-making, and innovative applications across all war-fighting domains. Our ultimate goal is to deliver a cohesive software infrastructure that drives technological advancement and operational efficiency for Anduril.
