Anduril awarded $99.6M for US Army next generation command and control prototype

An Allied combined arms formation faces significant risks as it moves through enemy territory. Drones aid in reconnaissance, identifying enemy positions, allowing commanders to adapt tactics in real time using advanced software tools. The Army's Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) initiative aims to modernize its communication technologies, ensuring seamless connectivity and robust decision-making support.

Anduril Industries has received a $99.6 million contract to develop an NGC2 prototype, integrating technologies from various partners. This system will enhance real-time intelligence sharing, facilitating faster decision-making for soldiers. The Army aims to establish NGC2 rapidly, moving from concept to capability validation in just one year.

The initiative promises improved connectivity and agility for tactical units, aligning with Anduril's mission to enhance battlefield capabilities for the U.S. military.
