The contract was issued by U.S. Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland and will run through March 12, 2036. It includes a five-year base period and a five-year optional ordering period, allowing the Army to extend the program beyond the initial term.
The enterprise contract framework aims to simplify how the Army acquires Anduril’s technologies and reduce administrative complexity. Previously, the Department of War managed more than 120 separate procurement actions for Anduril’s commercial solutions.
Under the new structure, these contracts and agreements are consolidated into a single framework that eliminates pass-through charges on subcontracts. According to the Army, the approach will streamline operations, reduce procurement timelines and ensure that soldiers gain faster access to advanced software, integrated hardware, computing infrastructure and support services.
The contract allows the Army to integrate current and future commercial technologies into a unified operational capability. Work locations and funding levels will be determined through individual task orders issued under the agreement.
The Lattice platform will serve as the core architecture for integrating data from multiple battlefield systems. Built on an open software framework, it allows sensors, surveillance platforms and autonomous systems to feed information into a shared operational interface used by commanders and operators.
Modern military operations generate large volumes of information from drones, radar systems, satellites and other sensors. Platforms such as Lattice are designed to organise and analyse this data in real time, providing a consolidated operational picture across the battlefield.
Artificial intelligence tools within the system can help identify objects, track targets and prioritise critical information. These capabilities allow commanders to interpret complex operational environments more quickly and respond to emerging threats.
The platform also integrates data from hundreds of existing joint and Army systems to provide strategic, operational and tactical information to military units. According to officials, this connectivity will support improved coordination across a wide range of military operations.
Brig. Gen. Matt Ross, director of Joint Interagency Task Force 401, said the agreement will strengthen interoperability for counter-unmanned aerial systems operations. “This enterprise contract is a critical step in establishing a common framework for counter-UAS interoperability,” he said.
Ross added that the agreement supports the development of a unified command-and-control environment for U.S. forces and partner organisations. “It provides a foundational command and control capability. The Department of War and interagency partners now possess a clear path to a cohesive and operationally effective ecosystem that gives our warfighters the most advanced tools to defend the homeland.”
Army officials also emphasised the importance of software-driven capabilities in future military operations. Gabe Chiulli, chief technology officer for the Office of the Chief Information Officer, said rapid acquisition of digital tools is becoming increasingly critical for maintaining a technological advantage.
“The modern battlefield is increasingly defined by software. To maintain our advantage, we must be able to acquire and deploy software capabilities with speed and efficiency,” Chiulli said.
He noted that enterprise agreements help reduce duplication across government technology programs. “Enterprise contracts are a key part of our modernization strategy, allowing us to consolidate software agreements, eliminate redundancies, and accelerate the delivery of critical tools.”
The contract’s total potential value represents a maximum ceiling rather than guaranteed spending. According to the Army, the framework also provides cost savings through range pricing, volume discounts and pre-negotiated contract terms.
Officials said the agreement will shorten procurement processes that previously required lengthy negotiations for each contract action. The Army emphasised that it will continue to evaluate emerging technologies and maintain fair and open competition for future programs as modernization efforts continue.
