Anduril Altius 600

Anduril’s Altius series features Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) with a “loitering munition” function. Altius systems can be operated together as a networked swarm, combining different drone payloads: surveillance, electronic warfare, signals intelligence, communications relay, and cyber warfare equipment, as well as a warhead . Weaponised systems will strike targets that other ALTIUS-600s detect.
