Anduril Unveils EagleEye, Advanced AI System for Soldiers

CARBONDALE, Pa.—Anduril Industries has unveiled EagleEye, a groundbreaking AI-powered system aimed at enhancing U.S. Army operations. This modular family of systems consolidates command and control, digital vision, and survivability into a single adaptable architecture.

According to Anduril, EagleEye is designed to turn every soldier into a connected node on the battlefield, providing them with integrated situational awareness and mission planning tools. Palmer Luckey, Anduril’s founder, emphasized, “We don’t want to give service members a new tool—we’re giving them a new teammate.”

Scheduled for rollout, EagleEye builds on the work already done for the Soldier Borne Mission Command (SBMC) and Soldier Borne Mission Command–Architecture (SBMC-A) programs. These initiatives are aimed at improving decision-making and mobility for Soldiers in complex battlefield scenarios.

The new system integrates a heads-up display (HUD) and helmet-embedded hardware, significantly reducing the cognitive load on soldiers while enhancing their protection. Luckey noted the long-standing dream of having an AI partner in soldiers’ displays, calling EagleEye the realization of that vision.

The design includes helmet configurations that balance weight and optimize user experience, replacing bulkier traditional night vision goggles. Responding to queries about the innovative design, Luckey pointed out that the integration aimed to prioritize the soldier’s central gravity.

In partnership with Gentex Corporation, Anduril is set to provide a modular mixed-reality platform that embeds mission command capabilities directly in the soldiers’ protective gear, further enhancing their operational efficiency.
