Lattice
AI-powered operating system and mission control platform from Anduril that enables sensor fusion, autonomous operations, and multi-asset command across C-UAS architectures.
System Overview
What It Is
Lattice is Anduril's proprietary operating system that serves as the "brain" of autonomous defense systems. It provides real-time sensor fusion, AI-driven decision support, and the ability to control multiple autonomous assets from a single interface.
How It Works
Lattice ingests data from diverse sensors (radar, EO/IR, RF) and uses machine learning algorithms to fuse this information into a unified operational picture. Operators can then command autonomous systems like drones and ground sensors through the platform, with AI handling routine tasks and flagging threats for human decision.
Primary Capability
Software platform providing sensor fusion, autonomous mission control, and multi-domain situational awareness for counter-UAS operations.
Combat Record / Operational History
Deployed for border security, ISR missions, and base defense operations.
Overview
Lattice represents Anduril's vision for AI-enabled military operations: a software platform that can fuse sensor data, coordinate autonomous systems, and accelerate human decision-making across the kill chain.
Architecture
The platform operates on three levels:
- Edge Processing: Local AI at sensor nodes
- Fusion Engine: Central data integration
- Command Interface: Operator decision support
Sensor Fusion
Lattice excels at combining disparate sensor inputs into coherent tracks:
- Radar returns
- RF signatures
- Electro-optical imagery
- Acoustic detections
Autonomous Control
A single operator using Lattice can simultaneously control multiple autonomous assets including:
- Ghost reconnaissance drones
- Altius strike platforms
- Sentry surveillance towers
C-UAS Application
For counter-drone missions, Lattice provides:
- Automated threat detection and classification
- Optimal effector selection recommendations
- Engagement authorization workflows
- Battle damage assessment
Ecosystem Considerations
While powerful, Lattice operates as a vertically integrated system. Organizations must weigh its capabilities against the benefits of open architectures like SAPIENT for multi-vendor interoperability.
