America First Defense (AFD) has been accepted into Lattice, expanding its foothold in the fast-growing counter-drone market.
Parent firm Gaxos.ai said the move integrates its portfolio company into Anduril Industries’ broader ecosystem of AI-enabled defense technologies.
Lattice serves as a command-and-control platform that connects sensors, autonomous systems, and data feeds to deliver real-time situational awareness and operational coordination.
By joining the program, AFD gains access to an architecture designed to support counter-drone missions, where rapid detection and response are critical.
The company added that this move also “reflects continued momentum in AFD’s efforts to align with leading defense technologies and further develop capabilities designed for modern operational requirements.”
“The acceptance into Anduril’s Lattice Program supports AFD’s strategic growth trajectory and highlights the increasing relevance of advanced counter-UAS technologies in today’s defense landscape,” Gaxos.ai CEO Vadim Mats said.
Anduril’s Lattice Program
Anduril has steadily expanded Lattice into a broader ecosystem by working with partners and integrating third-party systems across defense programs.
In 2023, Anduril partnered with Palantir Technologies to integrate data platforms, linking Lattice with broader battlefield data analytics tools used by US and allied forces. The collaboration focused on improving real-time decision-making by combining sensor inputs with operational intelligence.
General Atomics also worked with Anduril to connect unmanned aerial systems into Lattice-enabled environments, allowing drone feeds and targeting data to flow into a unified command interface.
In 2025, L3Harris Technologies’ ENVG-B system was integrated into Anduril’s Lattice-enabled Soldier Borne Mission Command Architecture.
Meanwhile, Anduril has also integrated its own platforms, including autonomous surveillance towers and counter-drone systems, into Lattice deployments supporting US military and border security operations.
