Army Picks Anduril’s Lattice for Counter-Drone C2 in First Task Under $20 Billion Vehicle

The move reflects the Army’s enterprise buying strategy to speed software-defined capabilities across the force.

Overview

  • JIATF-401 issued an $87 million award making Lattice the common command-and-control backbone for counter‑UAS operations.
  • The task order is the first action under a 10‑year enterprise contract with a ceiling of up to $20 billion awarded by Army Contracting Command.
  • Officials stress the ceiling functions as a contract vehicle with funds obligated only through individual task orders.
  • About 120 existing Army contracts with Anduril will migrate into the new agreement, opening company technologies to buyers across the Defense Department.
  • The deal advances a broader shift to enterprise contracting, with the Army reporting 14 such awards consolidating 118 contracts in eight months, including a prior Palantir vehicle capped at $10 billion.
