On today’s battlefield, every movement by a maneuver element — from armored vehicles to missile launchers to command posts — introduces new threat vectors. Loitering munitions, one-way attack drones and autonomous swarms can strike from multiple directions with little warning. Salvos of precision missiles can stop vehicle movements in their tracks. Many attacks are orchestrated and executed faster than existing systems can detect or respond. Advanced technology can help.
Spark radar is Anduril’s answer to maneuver protection. Through Anduril’s Spark radar, the company has developed a system that detects both air and ground threats with class-leading range, speed and fidelity, while using Lattice to pass threats on to other radars and command nodes, ensuring formation based protection.
Anduril announces a partnership with General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) to bring Spark radar into military platforms and maneuver networks, starting with armored vehicles and expanding to command posts, missile launchers and fires elements. As one of the world’s most experienced and forward-leaning companies in the design, development and production of tracked and wheeled military equipment, GDLS brings deep understanding of how modern vehicles operate — and how they need to evolve.
Pairing this expertise with Anduril’s software-driven sensors and battle management technologies is a critical step toward enabling distributed, formation-level protection future conflicts demand. Our goal is to enable the entire formation — not just individual platforms — to detect, track and respond in real time.
Through this partnership, GDLS will ensure that Spark is built into platforms from the start—not bolted on after the fact. That means tighter integration, better performance and a clear path to scalable protection across fleets. This is a deliberate move to shift survivability from platform-specific defenses to coordinated, multi-vehicle systems of systems.
This is a shared commitment to the importance of ground vehicles in future fights by advancing how they detect and respond to threats. By integrating Spark radar into GDLS platforms from the outset, we’re laying the groundwork for more cohesive, layered defense across maneuver formations. It’s a step toward ensuring warfighters have the protection they need to maneuver and survive on today’s battlefield.
