Anduril buys Klas to boost real-time edge computing

Anduril acquired Klas, a company specializing in ruggedized edge computing equipment, to enhance its capabilities in real-time AI processing for military and first-responder applications. The acquisition, Anduril's ninth, aims to integrate Klas' technology, including its Voyager systems, with Anduril's existing Lattice software and new Menace-T product, which provides portable edge computing. The deal's financial details remain undisclosed, pending regulatory approval. This move supports Anduril's work on the military's Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) project, potentially improving data processing for soldiers using VR headsets and opening doors to commercial applications.
