Lattice
The software that ties Anduril's systems (and other companies' systems) together.
What does it actually do?
Lattice is Anduril's core software platform. It takes in feeds from cameras, radars, drones and other sensors, fuses them into one shared map of what is happening, and lets a small number of people task many machines from that picture. Almost every Anduril product plugs into it, and Anduril sells it on its own to armies and agencies.
Technical detail
- Sensor fusion: combines tracks from many sensors into a single common operating picture.
- Command and control (Lattice for C2): battle-management tools that link sensors to effectors and speed up decisions.
- Lattice for Mission Autonomy: lets teams of uncrewed systems collaborate under one human operator (selected for the U.S. Air Force CCA program in 2026).
- Lattice SDK: REST/gRPC APIs, open data models and a sandbox so third parties can integrate hardware and apps.
- Runs at the tactical edge as well as in the cloud; paired with Lattice Mesh for data distribution.

Questions
Is Lattice a weapon?
No. Lattice is software: it fuses sensor data and helps operators task systems. Some of the systems it can task are weapons, and Anduril describes human authorization for lethal action.
How is Lattice different from Palantir's software?
They overlap but emphasize different layers. Lattice grew out of real-time sensor fusion and control of autonomous hardware at the edge; Palantir's Foundry and Gotham grew out of data integration and analysis. The two companies partner on the Army's NGC2 program.
