About ALTIUS-600

ALTIUS-600 is Anduril's modular tube-launched unmanned aircraft for missions including intelligence collection, communications relay, electronic warfare and strike. It can be launched from fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft, ground vehicles, ships and static launchers. The airframe's payload, data-link and mission-software interfaces are designed to be reconfigured, allowing the same vehicle architecture to support different sensing, communications and effect packages.

Anduril reported in 2022 that the ALTIUS-600 had flown 18 payload types, integrated five data-link solutions and nine mission-software systems, and launched from 16 vehicle types through seven launcher designs. Its open interface documentation lets an external mission system direct the autopilot at a mission-command level, while an onboard mission computer can host third-party software. The 600M armed configuration is one member of this wider platform family. Mission capability, autonomy behaviour, endurance and regulatory or military authorisation depend on the selected payload, launcher, software and customer configuration.
