Lockheed Martin, Anduril join hands to counter drone threat in Middle East: Fort Drum, N.Y., Oct. 13, 2024 – Lockheed Martin, in collaboration with Anduril, has successfully integrated its Q-53 multi-mission radar (MMR) with Anduril’s Lattice Command and Control (C2) system during the U.S. Central Command’s Desert Guardian exercise at Fort Drum.
The integration demonstrated the capability to significantly enhance the overall operational picture by rapidly integrating the Q-53 MMR into the Lattice C2 Network. This seamless integration enables more informed and timely decision-making in a networked environment.
The successful integration of the Q-53 MMR and Lattice is a significant step forward in addressing the growing threat of drones. By combining advanced radar technology with sophisticated command and control systems, this partnership offers a powerful solution to detect, track, and counter drone threats.

“The successful integration of the Q-53 MMR and Lattice showcases Lockheed Martin’s valued partnership with the U.S. Government and industry partners, allowing us to deliver tailored solutions for our customers,” said David Kenneweg, director of Multi-mission Air Defense Radars at Lockheed Martin. “At Desert Guardian, we were able to collaborate to uncover customer needs as we continue to innovate the technology needed to detect and counter emerging threats to make smarter, faster decisions.”
Lockheed Martin and Anduril are now preparing for a second exercise, coordinated by CENTCOM, to be held in the Middle East. The goal of this exercise is to further refine the integration of sensors into a single interface, providing operators with a comprehensive and user-friendly tool to combat drone threats.
