Anduril to Enhance U.S. Marine Corps Defense with Advanced C-UAS Technology

Anduril Industries has secured a landmark award with the U.S. Marine Corps, tasked with delivering, installing, and sustaining an advanced Installation-Counter small Unmanned Aircraft System (I-CsUAS).

This $642 million, 10-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Program of Record underscores the growing importance of autonomous systems in safeguarding military installations against emerging aerial threats. Anduril’s solution combines artificial intelligence and advanced autonomy, providing the U.S. Marine Corps with a robust, adaptable defense system capable of evolving with the next decade’s challenges.

This contract highlights Anduril’s leadership in Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) technology, offering 24/7 autonomous protection through Lattice, the company’s powerful AI-driven software platform. Lattice autonomously detects, tracks, identifies, and neutralizes aerial threats, enabling operators to make fast, informed decisions with minimal human intervention. This autonomous capability drastically enhances operational efficiency while maintaining a human-in-the-loop for critical decisions.

Anduril’s software-first, integrated I-CsUAS solution delivers tailored protection for each installation, using a seamless interface that integrates various sensors and effectors. The open architecture of the system allows for rapid upgrades and iteration, ensuring the U.S. Marine Corps stays ahead of emerging threats throughout the program’s lifespan. This adaptability ensures that Anduril’s solution remains at the forefront of technological advancements, providing comprehensive protection against evolving aerial threats.

Building on its existing partnership with the Marine Corps, following a $200 million contract awarded in November to develop the CUAS Engagement System for the Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS), Anduril continues to expand its role in providing next-generation defense solutions. A key investment in this effort is Arsenal-1, a pioneering manufacturing facility that uses software-driven processes to produce autonomous systems at scale. This cutting-edge facility will enable rapid worldwide deployment of systems while ensuring flexibility for future defense needs.

This award marks a significant milestone in the U.S. Marine Corps’ commitment to harnessing advanced technologies for the protection of troops and critical assets. Through Anduril’s autonomous capabilities, the program transforms an urgent operational need into a scalable, enduring defense solution poised to keep pace with the evolving landscape of modern warfare.
