Overview

• Meta and Anduril have teamed up to create EagleEye, a suite of AR headsets and wearables that combine Meta’s Reality Labs hardware and Llama AI with Anduril’s Lattice command-and-control platform.
• EagleEye devices are designed to enhance soldiers’ situational awareness by streaming real-time battlefield intelligence and sensor-driven audio-visual enhancements.
• The companies have submitted a joint bid for up to $100 million under the Army’s SBMC Next program, which is part of a $22 billion effort to modernize military wearables.
• Built entirely with private capital and no taxpayer funds, the project promises potential cost savings for the military and will proceed regardless of the contract outcome.
• The alliance reunites Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Anduril founder Palmer Luckey nearly eight years after Luckey’s exit from Facebook, reflecting Big Tech’s growing defense footprint.
