Anduril Industries has announced the successful integration of its Lattice command and control (C2) platform during U.S. Central Command’s (CENTCOM) Desert Guardian defence exercise. Lattice was deployed as a third-party C2 platform to facilitate experimentation and the integration of new sensors into a unified data system.
During the Desert Guardian 1.0 exercise, CENTCOM utilised Lattice to merge data from multiple third-party sensors into a single dashboard. This setup aimed to provide warfighters with situational awareness of airborne threats in a simulated operational environment.
Notably, more than ten sensor teams were able to integrate their systems into Lattice, with some achieving this in real time. This rapid integration contrasted with the traditional, months-long process often associated with high-touch sensor integration efforts. The Lattice platform’s open APIs and SDK documentation enabled sensor teams to complete these integrations independently, without requiring direct support from Anduril.
By facilitating real-time data sharing, fusion, and tasking across various sensor systems during Desert Guardian, Anduril sought to demonstrate the value of a common C2 platform that can unify the end-to-end air defence process, from detection to response.
“It’s a privilege to participate in and support Desert Guardian 1.0. Central Command plays a critical role in driving modernisation efforts within the Department of Defense, and this exercise provides a vital platform for collaboration between industry, government agencies, and end-users to solve emerging challenges,” said Pat Morris, VP of Air Defence at Anduril Industries.
Anduril’s history of leveraging mesh networking technology, such as its work with 300 integrated towers along the U.S. southern border and the deployment of Ghost drones for reconnaissance, laid the groundwork for its application in more complex military environments. The Lattice platform offers an adaptable, scalable solution that integrates both legacy and third-party systems, enhancing situational awareness and supporting comprehensive battlespace management.
