IRVINE, California. The U.S. Army chose Anduril Industries’ Ghost-X small uncrewed aircraft system (sUAS) for the Company Level Small Unmanned Aircraft System Directed Requirement (DR), the company announced in a statement.
This selection follows a procurement process that included aircraft and payload flight testing, the statement reads. The Ghost-X will be fielded to operational units later this year to enhance the Army’s Medium Range Reconnaissance (MRR) program, which aims to equip maneuver companies with multi-mission robotic capabilities for large-scale combat operations in contested environments, the company says.
The Ghost-X is designed for surveillance, targeting, and communications relay across various terrains, and the system operates on Anduril’s Lattice command and control software, allowing a single operator to manage multiple Ghost-X units, the company says.
