Anduril has introduced EagleEye, a modular, AI-powered family of systems designed to integrate various aspects of battlefield operations into a unified platform.
Building upon the US Army’s Soldier Borne Mission Command (SBMC) programme, EagleEye streamlines mission planning and enhances the perception and control of unmanned assets.

By integrating these functions into a single, lightweight system, EagleEye aims to reduce both the physical load carried by soldiers and the cognitive demands placed upon them.
The system’s foundation rests on the SBMC and SBMC-A programmes currently being delivered by Anduril to the US Army.
These programmes offer a mixed-reality environment that furnishes soldiers with tools for situational awareness, mission planning, and training, ultimately enhancing decision-making processes and agility on the ground.
EagleEye advances this platform by integrating mission command software with a heads-up display (HUD) and helmet-based equipment, ensuring equilibrium, safety, and efficiency in combat situations.

By GlobalDataA key feature of EagleEye is its high-resolution 3D sand table, which facilitates collaborative mission rehearsal and coordination.
Operators can overlay live video streams onto terrain models to establish a collective operational understanding both prior to and during missions.
The HUD component of EagleEye augments the user’s vision by superimposing digital data onto their natural view, providing essential contextual information.
The system includes distinct HUDs optimised for both daylight and night-time operations.
Furthermore, EagleEye utilises Anduril’s Lattice network to merge real-time data from distributed sensors across the battlefield, enabling threat detection even when visibility is compromised.
In terms of survivability, EagleEye offers advanced ballistic protection and blast wave mitigation within an ultra-lightweight helmet shell designed for extended use.
Additional sensors provide peripheral awareness while spatial audio and radio frequency detection systems warn operators of concealed or imminent dangers.
EagleEye also enhances edge connectivity by consolidating networking and command tools into a wearable system. This enables soldiers to operate drones, request artillery support, and manage robotic allies on the move.
The Lattice mesh network ensures reliable command and control capabilities in challenging environments characterised by limited or compromised communication infrastructure.
Anduril said that it has partnered with Meta, Qualcomm Technologies, OSI, and Gentex to bring proven commercial technologies into the defence sector. This collaboration is aimed at lowering costs, speeding up development timescales, and facilitating continuous improvements.
Anduril founder Palmer Luckey said: “We don’t want to give service members a new tool—we’re giving them a new teammate. The idea of an AI partner embedded in your display has been imagined for decades. EagleEye is the first time it’s real.”
In September 2025, Anduril secured a $159m contract from the US Army to embark on a prototyping phase aimed at developing an advanced helmet-mounted night vision and mixed reality system.
