Menace
About
About Menace
Menace is a family of deployable command, networking and computing systems built around Anduril’s Lattice software. Menace-T packages the capability into portable transit cases, Menace-X installs it on an expeditionary vehicle, and Menace-I provides larger fixed or semi-fixed infrastructure for high-volume mission processing.
The systems combine communications, edge compute, storage and operator workspaces so sensors, autonomous vehicles and effectors can be connected close to the operating area. Menace can process mission data without continuous reach-back to a central cloud and can be expanded by adding compute or communications modules as the deployed force grows.
