Anduril was selected for the NavyX accelerator programme to deliver battle winning technology to warfighters. The Royal Navy intends to use the ‘Modernizing Defence’ Programme and the NavyX accelerator initiative to modernise its military forces.

Royal Navy chief technology officer colonel Dan Cheeseman said: “Anduril is now part of the UK NavyX accelerator programme to get battle winning technology straight into the hands of our warfighters.

“Anduril’s dynamic and highly tailored expertise has enabled a close partnership with 3 Commando Brigade and they are now part of a busy exercise and deployment schedule. These technologies are directly informing how the Royal Marines is transforming itself to radically change how it fights to win on future operations.”

These modernisation efforts involve partnerships with innovative companies capable of quickly adapting products to fit the needs of Royal Marines.

The service is keen to incorporate technologies such as autonomous systems, AI, and machine learning for the creation of the future military.

The company has built a software and hardware platform known as Lattice, which is designed to deliver accurate, real-time information to troops on the ground to save lives.

“Our goal, and the goal of the Royal Navy, is to help the men and women on the front lines complete their missions as successfully and safely as possible.”

Lattice uses AI, machine vision and mesh networking technologies, and integrates all Anduril hardware and third party sensors into a single, autonomous operational platform.

The integrated networked system will enable warfighters to respond swiftly.

Anduril operations engineer Evan Roddenberry said: “Our goal, and the goal of the Royal Navy, is to help the men and women on the front lines complete their missions as successfully and safely as possible. We are excited to have the opportunity to help the Royal Marines with this important mission as they modernise in preparation for the battlefields of the future.”

Last month, the Royal Marines tested new technology during the Commando Warrior Two exercise for the country’s future commando force.

The Navy expects to begin training with the Anduril systems this summer ahead of their deployment.
