The initiative is part of NATO’s effort to modernize its air command-and-control architecture across 32 member countries. The aim is to help allies share trusted operational information more quickly and securely while preserving national control over sensitive data.
Under an initial nine-month evaluation phase, Anduril will deploy Lattice inside the NATO environment. The work will be carried out through Anduril UK and the company’s Europe team.
The evaluation will test how Lattice supports functions including air traffic control, surveillance and force management. NATO will assess the platform against operational requirements as it considers a more modular and data-centric model for allied air operations.
Lattice is designed to link existing systems through an open architecture rather than replace them. Anduril said the platform allows operational data to move securely between organizations while enabling nations to retain sovereignty over their own information.
The software is also built for contested environments where communications may be disrupted or degraded. In those conditions, Lattice is intended to continue synchronizing, orchestrating and distributing data so commanders can maintain a trusted operational picture.
The eAirC2 Data Platform initiative reflects NATO’s wider move toward more connected and adaptable command-and-control systems. For Anduril, the evaluation gives the company an opportunity to show how Lattice can help allies connect existing systems, share operational information and operate as an integrated coalition.
The award also builds on Anduril’s growing work with allied governments in Europe. The company said Lattice supports open, software-defined architectures that allow countries to connect new and existing systems without giving up control of national data.
Anduril said strong NATO operations depend on trust and that fast, secure data sharing is the foundation of that trust. The company framed the NATO selection as a step toward helping allies make faster decisions and coordinate more effectively in modern air operations.
