On November 21, Anduril announced that it has been awarded a $99.7 million Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract and a five-year Program of Record designation by U.S. Space Systems Command to deliver Lattice as a resilient mesh networking capability for the modernization of the U.S. Space Surveillance Network (SSN). This moment is crucial for the rapid deployment of the Space Domain Awareness Network (SDANet), a key initiative to update the Space Domain Awareness architecture, which is vital for the advancement of next-generation Space Command and Control (C2) systems.
The U.S. Space Command has mandated full deployment by the end of 2026, and Anduril has a fully integrated site deployment schedule that enables delivering these modernization efforts to meet the needs of the U.S. Space Command, according to the company.
Lattice is replacing outdated systems with a robust, modern architecture designed to not only meet current needs but to evolve as new threats emerge. SDANet will replace legacy communications systems with a resilient mesh network capable of facilitating seamless sensor-to-sensor tasking, rapid data sharing with mission partners, and unparalleled flexibility to onboard new systems or partners swiftly.
The company is deploying to international locations, contributing data into the Unified Data Library for mission partners to leverage, and are in discussions to integrate with other key projects across the USSF’s Space Domain Awareness architecture.
The Space Surveillance Network, a global web of ground-based sensors tracking key space assets and debris, needs modernization now more than ever. With Lattice, Anduril is providing a cutting-edge, resilient mesh communications architecture that links sensors, data repositories, and command and control nodes with low-latency, high-bandwidth connections, the company said.
