Summary
Anduril is a private defense technology company that builds autonomous systems and sells the Lattice software that fuses sensor data into a shared picture. In this section it matters for Menace-T, a compact tactical edge command-and-control (C4) system, and for Klas, the Dublin-based rugged-computing maker it agreed to buy in May 2025. On 2026-05-13 it announced a $5B Series H at a $61B valuation, co-led by Thrive Capital and Andreessen Horowitz; CEO Brian Schimpf said 2025 sales were $2.2B. In March 2026 the Army announced an enterprise agreement with a potential $20B ceiling over up to ten years, consolidating 120 existing Anduril contracts, and the first task order was $87M.
Key Facts
- Founded: 2017 (TechCrunch)
- HQ: Costa Mesa, CA (not re-verified in this review)
- Status: private; Series H $5B at $61B (announced 2026-05-13); prior round $2.5B at $30.5B (June 2025)

- Revenue: $2.2B in 2025, per a letter from CEO Brian Schimpf
- CEO: Brian Schimpf
- Value chain position: defense prime; vertically integrated from rugged compute (Klas) to software (Lattice)
- Menace-T: compact field-deployable C4 system; one person can set it up in minutes from two carry-on cases; used in ground vehicles and maritime vessels (TechCrunch, 2025-05-05)
- Klas: announced 2025-05-05 as Anduril’s ninth acquisition; about 150 employees; price undisclosed; flagship Voyager rugged compute and networking family, already used in Menace products and integrated with Lattice
- Army enterprise agreement: potential $20B ceiling; up to 10 years (5-year base plus one 5-year option); consolidates 120 existing Army contracts; covers Lattice, software platforms, integrated hardware, data and compute infrastructure and support
- First task order: $87M, Lattice as the command-and-control backbone for the Army counter-drone task force under Joint Interagency Task Force 401
- ExoAnalytic Solutions: definitive agreement announced 2026-03-11, not closed at the time of reporting; about 400 telescopes tracking geosynchronous objects; about 130 employees to be absorbed; price undisclosed
What It Is / How It Works
Unlike the module and server vendors in this section (Mercury, Curtiss-Wright, One Stop Systems), Anduril competes for whole programs. Its rugged compute is a means of running its own software at the edge, not a product line sold to other integrators.
Menace-T and Klas. Menace-T bundles compute and network connectivity so a unit can run command and control off-grid. Anduril SVP of Engineering Tom Keane said Klas has supplied technology to the Army’s IVAS headset program for several years. TechCrunch gives no processor, weight or power specifications for Menace-T.
Lattice and the Army agreement. The Army agreement is a contract vehicle with negotiated pricing, not money obligated. Anduril’s president described it as having no money itself; the $20B is a ceiling. The Army's August 2025 Palantir agreement follows the same model with a $10B ceiling over up to ten years.
Space. ExoAnalytic supplies missile-tracking sensors and software to the Pentagon and shares tracking data with the Space Force; Anduril said it will keep serving its commercial space-awareness customers.
