U.S. Army Selects Anduril to Develop Software-Hardware Integration for its Robotic Combat Vehicle

Anduril Industries has been selected by the U.S. Army and the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to develop and prototype an architecture and framework for software-hardware integration as part of the Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) program.

The contract mandates Anduril to produce a prototype architecture enabling RCV variants to autonomously navigate varied terrains, transition between multiple autonomous mobility stacks, and manage vehicle payloads, sensors, and effectors autonomously or remotely.

The RCV program is a key ground autonomy initiative for the Army, aiming to integrate unmanned and autonomous vehicles alongside human operators for hazardous missions. Anduril will develop a DevSecOps and Software Integration platform, including APIs and network protocols, facilitating rapid development, integration, testing, and deployment of software modules, sensors, and payloads for diverse RCV missions.

Anduril aims to reduce the cognitive burden associated with human-machine integrated operations.
