Overview
Menace-X is Anduril's mobile, distributed C4 node, mounting the Menace compute and communications stack on a tactical vehicle so a ground commander retains command-and-control overmatch on the move rather than only from a static command post. Anduril positions it as a lighter, faster and simpler mobile C2 capability engineered to keep working in denied, disrupted, intermittent and limited (DDIL) communications conditions, running Lattice to fuse sensors, share a common operating picture and support targeting across a dispersed force. It has been demonstrated providing integrated command and control while mobile, including at a U.S. Marine Corps exercise. As with the rest of the Menace line, the numeric performance fields are left empty on purpose: the platform's mobility comes from its host vehicle, and the kit itself has no independent speed, range or firepower figures worth comparing.

Software & C2
Command, control, mission and combat-system software capability.
- Software type
What the software does: combat management, battle management, mission planning, fire control, EW management, cyber defense or ISR fusion.
- Vehicle-mounted mobile C4 / distributed C2
- Operating domains
Warfare domains the software covers: air, land, sea, subsurface, space, cyber. More domains means broader joint integration.
- Land, Air, Sea
- Open architecture
Standards-based, modular design (FACE, OMS/UCI, SOSA) versus a closed proprietary stack. Open architecture eases upgrades and third-party integration.
- Runs Anduril Lattice; built for DDIL communications environments
