Anduril and Meta are collaborating to develop extended reality (XR) devices for the U.S. military under the Soldier Borne Mission Command (SBMC) Next program.
Former Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey is leading this partnership, aiming to provide soldiers with advanced battlefield intelligence through mixed reality glasses.
The partnership emerged after the Army reassigned the IVAS Next program from Microsoft to Anduril, requiring Meta to collaborate with Anduril for military XR headsets.
The joint project, named EagleEye, integrates Meta's AR/VR technologies with Anduril's command and control software, showcasing Luckey's reconciliation with Meta after his departure in 2017.
