Anduril’s unveils EagleEye augmented reality Mission Command and AI

Californian company Anduril Industries has unveiled EagleEye, a modular, AI-powered family of systems that unifies command and control, digital vision, and survivability within a single, adaptive architecture and light weight Heads-Up Display (HUD).

The company has partnered with commercial leaders such as Meta, OSI, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and Gentex Corporation, who have invested heavily in augmented reality, rugged eyewear, computing, sensing, and ballistic helmets. Along with them, Anduril says it brings proven technology directly into defence, lowering cost, accelerating development, and ensuring a path to continuous upgrade.

The company says 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, such as their exact position within a building or on a specific floor, rather than simply appearing as a dot on a 2D map, says Anduril.

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.

EagleEye is an important step toward realizing Anduril’s vision of turning every warrior into a connected node on the battlefield, says the company. It consolidates mission planning, perception, and control of unmanned assets into a lightweight system that reduces weight and cognitive load while improving protection.

It also consolidates soldier networking and command tools into a body-worn system, the company says. Operators can task Uncrewed Aerial Systems (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.

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 US 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 HUD and helmet-native hardware for balance, protection, and battlefield effectiveness, says Anduril.

“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.”

EagleEye provides ballistic protection and blast wave mitigation in an ultralightweight shell designed to be worn for a long time.

Anduril says 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.
