EagleEye

EagleEye is Anduril Industries ’ soldier-worn mixed-reality system, unveiled at the AUSA conference in October 2025. It is not a single gadget but a modular family — a helmet, a visor and a lightweight pair of glasses — each putting a fused, AI-mediated picture in front of an individual soldier’s eyes. The hardware grew directly out of Anduril taking over the US Army’s long-troubled Integrated Visual Augmentation System effort from Microsoft, announced in February 2025 and formally transferred that spring; the Army has since renamed the programme Soldier Borne Mission Command and refocused it on software and integration with separately competed headsets. EagleEye is Anduril’s entry into that competition, and like the rest of the company’s catalogue it runs on the Lattice software stack.

The system’s job is to collapse the sensors a soldier already relies on into one display. Anduril describes an 84-degree digital night-vision field of view, a 4K display with stereo thermal fusion, rear- and flank-viewing cameras, spatial audio, and radio-frequency threat alerting, with friendly and enemy positions anchored in the world around the wearer rather than read off a separate screen. A full-face ballistic-shield variant offers a very wide field of view through digital passthrough rather than a see-through visor, while the glasses configuration weighs around 80 grams and pushes the battery into a ballistic plate to keep the head-borne weight down. The optics and underlying intellectual property draw on a partnership with Meta, with Oakley, Gentex and Qualcomm also named as collaborators. The figures come from Anduril’s own materials and have not been independently tested.

The customer is the US Army, and the system is a prototype rather than fielded kit. Anduril holds a Soldier Borne Mission Command prototyping contract worth roughly $159 million and expects to deliver about a hundred units for evaluation between April and June 2026. The Army is running the headset selection as a competition, with Rivet holding a parallel contract. The shadow over the whole effort is the original IVAS, whose Microsoft-built HoloLens hardware drew complaints of cyber-sickness and saw little adoption — the problem EagleEye is meant to solve.
