The U.S. Army has awarded Anduril a contract worth up to $1.8 billion over five years to expand its Generation Command and Control (NGC2) ecosystem, focusing on I Corps in the Pacific. The initial base period is valued at $162.8 million, aimed at enhancing NGC2’s common data layer. Concurrently, the Army announced $93.6 million in contracts to nine companies for applications that will support NGC2, enabling faster planning and operational analysis. The NGC2 system aims to improve data exchange and decision-making through advanced technology and AI. This expansion follows successful tests of NGC2 in the Mojave Desert, although challenges with hardware performance were noted. The Army is prioritizing NGC2 to unify its command-and-control systems and integrate new technologies as conflicts evolve.
