Palmer Luckey's Anduril Partners with Microsoft for Advanced Military AR Headset

The collaboration aims to enhance the US Army's Integrated Visual Augmentation System with cutting-edge software for improved battlefield awareness.

  • Anduril's Lattice software will be integrated into Microsoft's IVAS headset to provide soldiers with real-time data from drones and other autonomous systems.
  • The IVAS headset, based on Microsoft's Hololens, blends virtual information with the real world to improve mission effectiveness.
  • Palmer Luckey envisions the augmented reality system making soldiers 20% more lethal and 10% safer by enhancing their sensory perception.
  • Despite initial issues with nausea and headaches, the IVAS system has been refined and the US Army plans to spend $21.9 billion on the project.
  • This partnership follows Anduril's recent successes, including a contract to develop an autonomous fighter jet and securing new funding at a $14 billion valuation.
