Anduril Unveils EagleEye, a Modular AI Mixed-Reality System for Army Helmets

The launch formalizes a Meta-enabled path for the Army’s SBMC program toward 2026 prototype deliveries.

Overview

  • Anduril introduced EagleEye at AUSA as a Lattice-powered family of headborne mixed-reality devices that overlays a HUD, blue-force tracking, and a collaborative 3D mission-planning sand table into a soldier’s view.
  • EagleEye is being developed in four variants from lightweight glasses to a sealed full-ballistic helmet, with two prototypes on display and the glasses pitched as the clearest route to large-scale fielding.
  • The Army awarded Anduril roughly $159 million to prototype the system under Soldier Borne Mission Command, while rival Rivet reported a $195 million rapid-prototyping deal for 470 production-representative units.
  • Anduril says initial deliveries of about 100 production-representative units are planned for April–June 2026 as it pursues a production award after the prototyping phase.
  • Partnerships include Meta for waveguide and display technology, Qualcomm for compute, and Gentex, Oakley and Ops Core for helmet and eyewear integration, with claims of improved survivability features such as blast mitigation, rear and flank sensors, spatial audio, and RF detection.
