Meta has partnered with defense company Anduril to build mixed-reality gear powered by artificial intelligence (AI) for the US military.

Anduril stated in a May 29 announcement that these headsets blend virtual and augmented views, which will help soldiers better understand their surroundings during missions.

The device runs on Anduril’s Lattice system, which collects and processes data from many different sources at once.

This allows soldiers to see useful information directly in their field of view, such as the positions of other units, suggested routes, and updates from drones or other tools. The goal is to help troops respond faster by giving them direct access to key updates.

These headsets will also allow simple control of autonomous vehicles, such as drones or ground robots, without needing bulky gear. Instead, soldiers will be able to guide these tools using natural gestures or voice commands.

The project is privately funded and relies on parts that were first made for everyday tech products. By reusing designs from Meta’s commercial work, the team hopes to speed up development and keep costs lower than with traditional military gear.

Palmer Luckey, who helped start Anduril and also co-founded Oculus, shared on X:

Anduril and Meta have teamed up to make the world's best AR and VR systems for the United States Military.

The first device to be made public is called EagleEye, which Anduril hopes will be adopted by the Army for mission planning and control in the field.
