Anduril teams with OpenAI to develop and deploy AI-enabled C-UAS technology

Anduril Industries and OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, have formed a strategic partnership to develop and responsibly deploy advanced artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for national security missions. 

The partnership aims to improve the defence systems that protect US and allied military personnel from attacks by uncrewed drones and other aerial devices.

Anduril and OpenAI will focus on improving the nation’s counter-uncrewed aircraft systems (C-UAS) and their ability to detect, assess and respond to potentially lethal aerial threats in real-time. As part of the new initiative, Anduril and OpenAI will explore how AI models can be leveraged to rapidly synthesise time-sensitive data, reduce the burden on human operators, and improve situational awareness. These models will be trained on Anduril’s library of data on C-UAS threats and operations.

“The accelerating race between the United States and China to lead the world in advancing AI makes this a pivotal moment,” the Anduril press release states. “If the United States cedes ground, we risk losing the technological edge that has underpinned our national security for decades.”

Subject to robust oversight, this collaboration will be guided by technically-informed protocols emphasising trust and accountability in the development and employment of advanced AI for national security missions.
