# AI-Enabled Battlefield Command Systems

Anduril's Lattice platform won an $86M SOCOM contract to integrate and coordinate diverse autonomous systems across domains, while Palantir's Maven Smart System NATO was selected for alliance-wide military planning.
- Technology Readiness Level: 7/9
- Impact: 5/5
- Investment: 5/5
AI-enabled command and control platforms are transforming how militaries plan and execute operations. Anduril's Lattice is a software platform that fuses sensor data from multiple sources, coordinates autonomous vehicles across air, land, sea, and undersea domains, and provides real-time decision support to commanders. Palantir's Maven Smart System NATO was selected for alliance-wide AI-enabled military planning in 2025.

These platforms solve the 'data overload' problem in modern warfare: sensors generate vastly more information than humans can process, and the speed of hypersonic weapons and autonomous systems requires faster-than-human decision cycles. AI-enabled command systems can detect threats, recommend responses, and coordinate effects across distributed forces in seconds rather than hours.

Anduril's $28 billion valuation and $20 billion in Army contracts position it as a new kind of defense prime — one built on software and AI rather than hardware alone. The company's Lattice platform is designed to be platform-agnostic, integrating with legacy military systems as well as new autonomous vehicles. This approach challenges the traditional model where each weapons system has its own proprietary command infrastructure.
