Anduril Unveils EagleEye Mixed Reality AI Helmet for Soldiers

Anduril Industries has unveiled its latest battlefield wearable called EagleEye, a mixed-reality helmet designed to bring real-time mission command, live sensor feeds and AI-assisted alerts directly into a soldier’s field of view. The system integrates a daytime and night-vision HUD, spatial audio, a 360-degree sensor suite and on-board artificial intelligence that fuses data from drones and ground sensors in real time.

Built in collaboration with Meta Platforms, Qualcomm Technologies, OSI Systems and Gentex Corporation, EagleEye connects to Anduril’s Lattice network so that squads remain linked even in contested or degraded environments.

According to Anduril founder Palmer Luckey the helmet aims to significantly reduce soldier cognitive load while enhancing awareness and turning each infantryman into a connected node on the battlefield. “We don’t want to give service members a new tool— we’re giving them a new teammate,” he said.

The helmet family includes several variants tailored for different mission profiles, including versions optimized for front-line combat with full blast and ballistic protection and others designed for logistics or support roles with lighter weight and modular sensor packs.

This move arrives as the Soldier Borne Mission Command (SBMC) program seeks to replace earlier AR-wearable efforts such as the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS). EagleEye is pitched as a more rugged, integrated and field-ready solution than previous attempts.

Key implications of EagleEye include an accelerated shift toward network-enabled infantry, where wearable AI augments individual and team decision-making. Major challenges remain in power, weight, ergonomics, cybersecurity and cost of deploying at scale. The helmet’s success may depend on how quickly these hurdles are resolved in field conditions.
