Anduril's Mission:
Transforming defense capabilities with advanced technology
👩💻 My Role
Designing core features for:
• Lattice Live COP — Anduril's AI-powered operating system that brings autonomy and C2 (command and control) capabilities for a diverse range of hardware and robots by simplifying complex data and providing a real-time battlespace overview from integrating sensors into a cohesive operating picture in one interface.
• Lattice Mesh Network — A mesh network that ensures secure, decentralized data sharing across military platforms, facilitating real-time decision-making by distributing critical information across services, domains, and remote, low-bandwidth environments.
CONTEXT
Background
Anduril's Lattice Live COP (Common Operational Picture) defines the current state of the world in Lattice, serving as a shared framework to describe
objects and concepts (entities) that enhance an operator's situational awareness. It provides a common understanding of entities.
Entities are interoperable data structures that power a common operational picture (COP), providing a shared view of the current state of the world to enhance situational awareness and decision-making. They can be tangible, such as
drones and vessels, or intangible, like
signal detections and visual concepts, and are categorized into 3 main types:
•
Tracks = uncontrolled contacts like aircraft or signal detections
•
Assets = operator-controlled entities like Anduril towers
•
Geo-entities = non-physical locations or zones like training areas
These entities help operators manage and interpret dynamic environments by integrating real-time data across various sources
(Anduril Entity Overview).
The Lattice Mesh and the Lattice Live COP work together to provide a unified and real-time view of critical operational data. The Lattice Mesh connects different
nodes across a decentralized network, allowing entities—such as sensors or data points—to be published locally and automatically shared across the entire system. This ensures that the Lattice Live COP, which visualizes and aggregates this data, always displays up-to-date and accurate information, enabling real-time decision-making.
Administrators can control which data is distributed to specific nodes, ensuring the right information is available to the right users, enhancing the effectiveness of the Live COP and its ability to reflect the operational landscape
