ABOUT THE TEAM
The Connected Warfare division provides the joint, time-sensitive, multi-domain, ubiquitous mesh ecosystem comprised of hardware, software, and partner solutions to solve mission command challenges. This resilient mesh powers applications and underpins Anduril's first-party capabilities, providing mission control to the warfighter and enabling real-time decisions at the tactical, operational, and strategic level of war. This open ecosystem enables disproportional impact by connecting every robot, human, and sensor across every domain—bringing together hundreds of thousands of geo-distributed end points; making Anduril the source of truth for any time-sensitive decision, transforming the way militaries close kill chains and enable mission autonomy, as well as encouraging 3P developers to build experiences within our connected mesh ecosystem.
