SOCOM Selects Anduril as an Integration Partner in $967 Million Counter Unmanned Systems Effort

The U.S. Special Operations Command, or SOCOM, has selected Irvine, California-based Anduril Industries to support SOCOM’s counter unmanned systems (CUxS) efforts as a Systems Integration Partner (SIP) under an $967,599,957 indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract effort. As the Systems Integration Partner (SIP), Anduril will deliver, advance and sustain CUxS capabilities across the Special Forces' global operations. The company will maintain continuous system updates, develop and deploy new capability, and integrate best-in-class third-party sensors and effectors, future-proofing deployed systems at no additional cost to the customer.

Anduril’s CUxS family of systems is powered by the Lattice operating system and includes open, modular and scalable hardware components including Anduril’s Sentry Tower, Anvil interceptor UAS, Pulsar and Foxhound with best-of-breed third party sensors and effectors for a layered defensive approach. Lattice provides persistent coverage of defended assets and enables autonomous detection, classification, and tracking of targets, alerting users to threats and prompting users with options for mitigation or engagement.

According to the company, the SIP partnership with SOCOM will allow Anduril to deliver capability through traditional means, but also to deploy CUxS capability as-a-service, configuring systems based on mission profiles and ensuring SOCOM can rapidly adapt to new and evolving threats. 

“At Anduril, our team is constantly innovating to solve the toughest defense challenges facing our military. The evolving unmanned aerial threat requires flexible, adaptable, and rapidly deployable technology approaches,” said Brian Schimpf, Anduril co-founder and CEO. “With the Lattice CUxS family of systems, Anduril is well-equipped to deliver the solutions SOCOM needs today and in the future.”
