Palmer Luckey’s defense tech firm wants to make every soldier “a connected node on the battlefield.”
Its new EagleEye system is a step toward that.
The system puts an artificial intelligence-fueled heads-up display
inside battle-hardened headgear to allow “warfighters to know the precise location of teammates” and threats in an environment, even if objects block their direct line of sight.
The system—which combines a helmet, visor, and glasses—will also let the wearer dispatch drones, control robots, and call for fire support while on the go. Partners on tap include Meta, OSI Systems, Qualcomm, and Gentex.
Anduril says it hopes to place 100 EagleEye units—costing somewhere in the ballpark of $30,000 or $40,000 each, according to its founder’s latest comments—in the hands of the U.S. Army by Q2 2026.
“I don’t want to sound too arrogant here,” Luckey said
in a press preview of the system, “but I have got this shit figured out.”
