Anvil — autonomous kinetic counter-UAS interceptor
Autonomous kinetic counter-drone interceptor — Lattice cues it, the airframe ramming-disables Group 1-2 UAS at machine speed.
Anvil is Anduril's autonomous kinetic counter-UAS interceptor: a hover-and-strike quadrotor airframe that launches from a magazine, takes a Lattice OS cue, autonomously navigates to the threat track and rams or detonates against the target. The Anvil-M variant carries an explosive payload for harder targets. Cleared on the US DoD JCO list and fielded with USSOCOM, USMC and the UK Royal Air Force; selected for the US Air Force Base Defense system in 2023 and used operationally in classified Middle-East locations. Anvil is ITAR-restricted and not exported in airport-civilian configurations; the airport-protection use-case typically pairs Sentry detection with Pulsar soft-kill EW only.
