Modern battlefields are defined by speed and saturation. Small unmanned aircraft systems can swarm by the hundreds, overwhelming defenses and striking before human decision loops close. Without effective counter-UAS systems, air defense operators face more targets than they can track or defeat, leaving U.S. forces vulnerable. Current command and control systems weren\u2019t built for this fight \u2014 they can\u2019t process data or execute kill-chain decisions at the speed required to stop autonomous, distributed attacks.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
To meet this challenge, the Army has selected Anduril Industries for the Integrated Battle Command System Maneuver (IBCS-M) program, establishing Lattice as the Army\u2019s next-generation fire control platform for Counter-UAS missions. IBCS-M provides the command, control, and integration backbone for a vast array of counter-drone systems, enabling a single operator to manage multiple threats simultaneously. It fuses sensor data, automates fire control, and integrates new capabilities, reducing operator load and compressing the time from detection to defeat.<\/p>\n
At a recent demonstration at Yuma Proving Grounds, Anduril showcased the power of Lattice \u2014 the foundation of IBCS-M. In a seven-day trial, Lattice integrated a previously undisclosed sensor and effector within hours, executed live-fire intercepts that achieved four out of four kills, and demonstrated advanced features like autonomy-enhanced fire control, distributed tracking, and kill-chain optimization.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t think of counter-UAS as static or in the same vein as counter ballistic missile defense. It has to be maneuverable which means it has to be software-centric and adaptable above all else,\u201d said Alex Miller, CTO of US Army. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait a year for a new sensor or effector to be integrated and we can\u2019t tell our deployed soldiers that we have to wait for an FSR 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
The IBCS-M effort is part of a broader modernization initiative that is reimagining how the Army commands the fight. Legacy systems were built for an era of predictability \u2014 today\u2019s world demands an infrastructure that is open, extensible, and capable of evolving at machine speed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re uniquely positioned to deliver on the Army\u2019s vision because Anduril helped define the new frontier of air defense technology,\u201d said Matt Steckman, President and Chief Business Officer of Anduril Industries. \u201cOur work in autonomous systems and command and control has built the foundation for this moment \u2014 it\u2019s a natural extension of the lineage that began when we reimagined how modern defense should operate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anduril and the Army are building a unified command and control ecosystem \u2014 one that turns data into decision advantage and ensures U.S. forces can see, decide, and act faster in the era of autonomy.<\/p>\n
