Anduril Showcases Advanced Edge Computing and Communications Capabilities at USMC Steel Knight Exercise
Anduril integrated its Menace Family of Systems (FoS) — a suite of edge computing and communications solutions — during the U.S. Marine Corps’ Steel Knight exercise. The exercise sought to integrate multi-domain sensor data to improve maritime domain awareness. Anduril provided the software-enabled sensor aggregation platform and family of Edge Computing and Communications nodes. This demonstration supported the integration of strategic data collection and tactical operations, providing warfighters at the edge with real-time access to data and capabilities once confined to centralized command centers.
Traditionally, small tactical units have operated with limited situational awareness, unable to access high-value data streams in a timely manner. Strategic information often passed through slow, top-down processing chains, leaving warfighters without actionable information. Steel Knight changed this paradigm. The Menace FoS enabled seamless data sharing that broke down these barriers, allowing Marines on the ground to access accurate sensor data across multiple domains. This accelerated the decision-making processes for closing complex kill chains in dynamic combat scenarios required on the modern battlefield.
