Just four months after first flight, YFQ-44A has achieved its next milestone: switching between mission autonomy stacks from Anduril & Shield AI, midair. Anduril SVP of Engineering Jason Levin writes what it means for this new era of air dominance.

Earlier this month, ISS Aerospace and Anduril Industries UK integrated #WASP into #Lattice, Anduril’s sovereign AI-enabled command-and-control platform and validated it in flight within a single day. Lattice provides a powerful software backbone for sensing, decision-making and coordinated action across distributed systems. Integrating #WASP into that environment expands mission flexibility across ISR, counter-UAS and strike use cases, while enabling coordinated operations alongside other launched effects. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to sovereign capability, rapid integration and scalable system design. When advanced UK hardware and software ecosystems are engineered to work together from the outset, capability can be fielded faster and evolved continuously. The future of defence will belong to adaptable, interoperable systems that integrate rapidly and scale with operational demand.

On October 31, 2025, a gunmetal-colored, bullet-shaped object streaked across the skies of the California high desert under the careful watch of the United States Air Force. It took off without a pilot. It flew only by the guidance of software at the press of a single button. A group of America's best engineers had just made aviation history. Today, we have multiple fighters flying. YFQ-44A will move into production at Arsenal-1 in the coming months. But the road to first flight was not a straight one.

NEW IN PIRATE WIRES: Inside Anduril Industries' race to build Fury, America’s first autonomous fighter jet. On October 31, last year, a gunmetal-colored, bullet-shaped object streaked across the skies of the California high desert under the careful watch of the U.S. Air Force. It took off without a pilot. It flew only by the guidance of software, takeoff triggered by the press of a single button. That flight was the culmination of years — decades, even — of American experiments with unmanned fighter jets. Air Force officials long imagined pairing pilots with autonomous systems to amplify their combat power. But the technology didn’t exist. Until now. For Pirate Wires, Jack Beyrer delivers the complete story of how Fury, an AI-powered unmanned fighter jet, was built. He also details what’s next: producing a fleet of Furies capable of defending America. The future of American deterrence has arrived. Read the full story 👇 https://lnkd.in/eYUE4h6h

The United States Department of War has awarded Anduril an additional $43.7M in Defense Production Act funding to address America's urgent need for scalable, reliable rocket motor production. Since opening our Mississippi factory in August 2025 as America's third SRM supplier, we've secured a full-rate production contract with a European ally and were selected by Saab to supply rocket motors for the Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb. As Secretary Hegseth stated in his "Arsenal of Freedom" speech: "The Department of War will only do business with industry partners that share our priority of speed and volume above all else." Anduril is meeting that challenge. Full statement linked in the comments. 

Great conversations yesterday at the Defense Tech Leadership Summit about something we don’t always confront directly: enterprise architectures assume persistent connectivity. That isn’t the reality for defense customers - military forces at the dirty edge, where terrain, distance, bandwidth limits, or deliberate jamming are normal operating conditions. Across defense, systems were built at different times, by different vendors, for different missions. They rely on centralized integration layers and stable backhaul. You can’t run time-critical operations on a fragile integration layer. Anduril is focused on this gap. Lattice, our data and decision layer, connects sensors and platforms in to a shared picture. Lattice Mesh distributes that data across nodes so there’s no single point of failure. Menace, our deployable compute and communications platform provides local processing, storage, and cross-domain services so applications continue running when reachback is degraded or denied. When connectivity returns, systems reconcile and synchronize. We’ve exercised Lattice and Lattice Mesh in events like the Army’s Ivy Sting, supporting joint fires, airspace deconfliction, and cross-service data exchange, including operating fully disconnected and resynchronizing after restoration. We’ve connected U.S. and allied systems during Digital Shield without forcing anyone onto a single network. That’s what differentiates this approach. It’s deployed, integrated, and operating in real conditions where our customers need it most. Appreciate the discussion and the chance to engage with leaders working on these problems from every angle.

Outdated command structures can't win the future fight. Anduril's General Manager of Warfighter Systems, Quay Barnett, defines the solution.

We are enabling real-time wildfire detection with Lattice integration of our Sentry sensing towers and Ghost-X autonomous drones. XPRIZE Finals will be in Alaska this summer.

In a matter of weeks, Anduril's Lattice Mesh enabled the NGC2 team to turn critical medical data into visible, actionable intelligence for commanders and medical personnel.
