The US Army has selected Anduril Industries’ Lattice software platform for its Integrated Battle Command System Manoeuvre (IBCS-M) programme.
The announcement establishes Lattice as the US Army’s fire control platform for counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) missions.

Anduril and the US Army aim to create a unified command and control system that leverages data for real-time decision-making in an increasingly autonomous landscape.
The selection follows a demonstration of Lattice’s performance during a recent seven-day event at the US Army’s test centre, Yuma Proving Grounds.
In this trial, the platform successfully integrated a previously undisclosed sensor and effector within hours and performed four live-fire intercepts, all of which resulted in successful neutralisation.
During the same demonstration, Lattice exhibited features including autonomy-enhanced fire control, distributed tracking across sensors and systems, and optimisation of target engagement sequences.

By GlobalDataLattice serves as an open software platform for use across a range of missions in both defence and civilian sectors. It is designed to be compatible with multiple sensors, networks and systems.
The software collects input from distributed sensors and systems into a single integration layer where AI, machine learning algorithms and data processing techniques sift through incoming information.
This process ensures that only relevant data is presented to users, who can then respond by instructing other systems or assets within the platform.
Its structure allows it to support surveillance operations at ports or infrastructure sites and monitor UAS activity near airports or energy facilities.
US Army chief technology officer Alex Miller stated: “We can’t wait a year for a new sensor or effector to be integrated and we can’t tell our deployed soldiers that we have to wait for an FSR [field support representative] to solve the problem.
“It has to support a platoon leader on the move with many small sensors across many vehicles as much as it has to support a forward operating base or garrison commander using a mix of existing and emerging systems.”
In September 2025, Anduril secured a $159m contract from the US Army for a prototyping phase dedicated to advanced helmet-mounted night vision equipment combined with mixed reality features.
