Anduril Industries builds defense hardware and software for the United States and its allies. Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus, started the company in 2017 with Trae Stephens, Brian Schimpf, Matt Grimm and Joe Chen. It is based in Costa Mesa, California.
Its core product is Lattice, a software platform that links sensors, drones and other systems so operators can see a shared picture and control many machines at once. On top of Lattice the company sells physical products. These include sentry towers for border and base security, counter drone systems, autonomous aircraft and underwater vehicles.
Its customers are mainly the US Department of Defense and the armed forces of allied countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia. The company designs products to be built in volume and sold as finished items, rather than as long custom contracts. It is building a large factory in Ohio to raise output. Anduril has raised several large private rounds and remains privately held.
