Anduril today unveiled EagleEye, an independently researched and developed, modular, AI-powered family of systems that unifies command and control, digital vision, and survivability within a single, adaptive architecture.
EagleEye is a consequential step toward realizing Anduril’s vision of turning every warrior into a connected node on the battlefield. It consolidates mission planning, perception, and control of unmanned assets into a lightweight system that reduces weight and cognitive load while improving protection.
Anduril is already delivering the Army’s Soldier Borne Mission Command (SBMC) and Soldier Borne Mission Command–Architecture (SBMC-A) programs. Together, SBMC and SBMC-A form a mixed-reality platform that equips U.S. Army Soldiers with integrated situational awareness, mission planning, and training tools to improve decision-making and mobility. EagleEye builds on these advances, pairing mission command software with a heads-up display (HUD) and helmet-native hardware for balance, protection, and battlefield effectiveness.
“We don’t want to give service members a new tool—we’re giving them a new teammate,” said Palmer Luckey, Anduril’s founder. “The idea of an AI partner embedded in your display has been imagined for decades. EagleEye is the first time it’s real.”
Core Capabilities
Mission Planning
EagleEye enables mission command through a high-resolution, collaborative 3D sand table. Operators can rehearse missions, coordinate movements, and integrate live video feeds pinned to terrain. This creates a shared operational picture before and during the mission.
Enhanced Perception
The HUD enhances the operator’s view by overlaying digital information onto the real world, delivering vital contextual insights. EagleEye includes both an optically transparent daytime HUD and a digital night-vision HUD, each purpose-built for its environment. The system’s advanced approach to blue force tracking enables warfighters to know the precise location of teammates in world space, such as their exact position within a building or on a specific floor, rather than simply appearing as a dot on a 2D map. With Anduril’s Lattice network of distributed sensors, the system fuses real-time feeds from across the battlespace, allowing operators to detect and track threats even when terrain or structures block direct line of sight.
Heightened Survivability
EagleEye provides beyond-full-cut ballistic protection and blast wave mitigation in an ultralightweight shell designed for long wear. Rear- and flank-view sensors expand awareness without distraction. Spatial audio and radio frequency (RF) detection add layers of protection, alerting operators to hidden or immediate threats.
Edge Connectivity
EagleEye consolidates soldier networking and command tools into a body-worn system. Operators can task unmanned aerial vehicles (UAS), call for fires, and control robotic teammates while staying mobile. Lattice mesh networking ensures resilient command and control in denied, degraded, intermittent, or limited (DDIL) environments.
Designed with the Warfighter in Mind, for the Warfighter’s Demands
EagleEye is built from the ground up with ergonomic form factors modular add-ons, and a software-first architecture. Configurations include helmet, visor, and glasses variants. The system balances weight, reduces the bulk of traditional night vision goggles (NVGs), and keeps sensors aligned with the warfighter’s center of gravity. The totality of these attributes make EagleEye a standard-setting technology meant to perform to the requirements of military operations.
By partnering with commercial leaders such as Meta, OSI, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and Gentex Corporation, who have invested billions in augmented reality, rugged eyewear, compute, sensing, and ballistic helmets, Anduril brings proven technology directly into defense. This approach lowers cost, accelerates development, and ensures a path to continuous upgrade.
EagleEye equips dismounted operators with the ability to plan, fight, and survive while connected to every asset in the battlespace. As part of the Lattice ecosystem, EagleEye ensures persistent connectivity and control in any environment.
