Anduril is deploying its Lattice software platform for command and control to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and OCI Roving Edge Infrastructure globally.
Anduril, a defense technology company, will be deploying Lattice on Oracle Cloud Isolated and National Security Regions - air-gapped cloud infrastructure - as well as Oracle Cloud Regions, Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud, and Oracle Government Clouds in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Lattice is an AI software platform that turns thousands of data streams into a real-time 3D command and control center. Lattice via OCI will give warfighters real-time data and automated decision advantages, as well as dynamic machine tasking, and human-on-the-loop automation.
The company will also pair its Menace hardware systems with OCI to support operations in both connected and disconnected mobile command and control units, and has integrated OCI Roving Edge Infrastructure into the Menace family of hardware C4 solutions.
Menace is a self-contained hardware solution including power, heating, cooling, redundant communications, and compute. It has been designed to handle extended temperature ranges with minimal infrastructure. Menace comes in the Menace-I solution which can be transported via C-130 and uses three pallet positions, and Menace-X which is more mobile.
OCI Roving Edge, launched in 2021, brings core infrastructure to the Edge with Roving Edge Devices - ruggedized, portable, and scalable server nodes. With Menace, warfighters will be able to deploy, manage, and operate mission applications in disrupted, disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth (DDIL) environments.
"Anduril's partnership with Oracle will provide more global capabilities for our customers," said Tom Keane, senior vice president, Anduril. "Oracle Cloud provides the global infrastructure, price performance, and data sovereignty that mission customers need to deploy scalable, autonomous, and force-multiplying technology to the far Edge."
"Public sector and defense customers operate in the real world, where deployable hardware interacts with humans and creates effects in the most complex environments imaginable," said Rand Waldron, vice president, Oracle. "Anduril's Lattice on Oracle Cloud ties together those physical systems with the world's best cloud services, data management, and AI infrastructure— on a hyperscale global network, across an airgap or in the field."
Anduril supports operations with the US Department of Defense (DoD), the US Department of Homeland Security, the Australian Defence Force, the UK Ministry of Defence, and other partners around the world, providing them with integrated, persistent awareness, security, and command and control at the tactical Edge across land, sea, and air.
The company was founded by Palmer Luckey in 2017, known for also founding Oculus VR and designing the Oculus Rift, along with former Palantir Technologies executives Matt Grimm, Trae Stephens, and Brian Schimpf, and Oculus VR hardware lead Joe Chen. Luckey has described himself as a radical Zionist.
Earlier this year, Oracle also teamed up with Palantir on secure cloud and AI solutions aimed at governments and businesses globally. In 2024, Palantir agreed to a 'strategic partnership' with the Israel Defense Ministry to supply technology to support the war in Gaza. So far, the Palestinian death toll in Gaza has exceeded 40,000.
In August 2024, the US Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) set up a Joint Operational Edge (JOE) cloud in Germany. JOE is an "interconnected and integrated mesh of large form factor Edge computing platforms, installed on-premises at DoD locations, that delivers commercial Infrastructure as a Service and Platform as a Service, as well as the necessary DoD enterprise common service offerings."
DISA has similar deployments at US military hubs in the Asia Pacific.
