Anduril delivers Counter-UAS capabilities to USNORTHCOM

Costa Mesa-based Anduril Industries has delivered a rapidly deployable kit of field-proven Counter-Uncrewed Aerial Systems (C-UAS) to USNORTHCOM to respond to the growing threat of unauthorized drones. The system was recently demonstrated at EX Falcon Peak 25.2 at Eglin Air Force Base, validating that this counter-UAS solution meets NORTHCOM’s operational requirements in full.

Anduril says each kit includes Anduril’s Mobile Sentry for autonomous detection and tracking, Wisp in a SkyFence configuration for wide-area passive IR coverage, Pulsar for RF detection and effects, and Anvil for low-collateral kinetic defeat. Power, compute, and networking  are included. The system runs on the Lattice OS software platform and is designed to deliver full-spectrum capability — detect, track, identify, defeat — in a single, field-ready package for rapid deployment by military members, the company adds.

In 2024 alone, NORTHCOM reported over 350 unauthorized drone incursions across 100 installations. Anduril says it has developed the kit for rapid deployability in support of short-duration counter-UAS operations to defend US military infrastructure with complete kill-chain coverage.

Anduril saw the gap between emerging threats and available capability, it says. The company’s solution to USNORTHCOM is designed for the challenge of defending the homeland from small drone threats. Unlike battlefield systems, these kits are built for use inside US civil airspace, optimized to operate within the constraints of FAA regulations and other civilian considerations.

The delivery to NORTHCOM at Falcon Peak marks a decisive step forward in operationalizing mobile C-UAS defence across the United States, Anduril says.
