Anduril's $159 Million Prototype Win in 2025
A defense startup, Anduril, has unveiled a helmeted AR system, EagleEye, following a recent Army prototype award and a technical tie-up with Meta.
The timing of the launch is significant, as it comes after Anduril won a $159 million prototyping contract in September 2025.
EagleEye can integrate live sensor feeds, track teammates, and surface command tools, potentially speeding up the adoption of battlefield AR.
