Spyglass
An algorithmically enhanced Ku-band electronically scanned phased-array radar that delivers fire-control-quality target tracking for integrated short-range air-defense and counter-UAS weapon systems. Embedded accelerated computing extends its acquisition range by roughly 25-30 percent over comparable legacy radars, and it can detect very small UAVs at up to about 6 km while emitting a minimal electromagnetic signature. Spyglass entered Anduril's portfolio through its 2025 acquisition of Numerica Corporation's radar and C2 business and has been fielded alongside Anduril's Pulsar and Anvil systems to protect U.S. Army installations from drone threats.
