Anduril Industries today announced a new collaboration with Microsoft to advance the U.S. Army's Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) Program. The partnership includes the initial integration of Anduril's Lattice platform into the IVAS ecosystem to enhance soldier capabilities.
IVAS is a platform that ingests data from a host of sensors, including those integrated on the headset, attached to weapon systems and via third-party devices and software, giving soldiers unprecedented visibility on the battlefield. With the integration, soldiers will have a significantly enhanced capacity to detect, track and respond to threats in real time while rapidly expanding the mission capabilities available to soldiers around the world.

Soldiers wearing Lattice-enabled IVAS headsets are rapidly warned of incoming autonomously-detected airborne threats, enhancing survivability in complex, contested environments. The integration of Anduril's systems, alongside third-party technologies, is set to propel the IVAS mission capabilities forward.
Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey is spearheading the initiative. He says the project is his "top priority" and is one of the Army's most critical programs being fielded in the near future—getting the right data to the right people at the right time. "This is Anduril's bread and butter, and we've been building the backbone for this for years," Luckey adds.
