Anduril and Meta will be developing Extended Reality (XR) features for the United States military, the company announced on its website. Anduril and Meta are partnering to design, build, and field a range of integrated XR products that provide warfighters with enhanced perception and enable intuitive control of autonomous platforms on the battlefield.
“Meta has spent the last decade building AI and AR to enable the computing platform of the future,” said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta. “We’re proud to partner with Anduril to help bring these technologies to the American servicemembers that protect our interests at home and abroad.”

Anduril Industries is a U.S. defense technology company founded in 2017 by Palmer Luckey, creator of Oculus Rift. Headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, Anduril develops advanced defense systems using artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous technologies. Its key products include the Ghost 4 drone, Altius and Roadrunner UAVs, and the Lattice AI platform, which powers autonomous decision-making. Anduril serves military and national security customers by offering innovative alternatives to traditional defense contractors. Backed by major investors, the company was valued at around $14 billion in 2024 and is reportedly seeking a $28 billion valuation in a new funding round as of 2025.
“I am glad to be working with Meta once again,” said Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril. “Of all the areas where dual-use technology can make a difference for America, this is the one I am most excited about. My mission has long been to turn warfighters into technomancers, and the products we are building with Meta do just that.”
Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, CTO of Meta said that the world was entering a new era of computing that would give people access to limitless intelligence and extend their senses and perception in ways that have never been possible before. “Our national security benefits enormously from American industry bringing these technologies to life,” he added.
