## Definition
**Lattice** is Anduril's software platform for integrating sensor data, autonomous systems, tracks, and operator workflows into a common command-and-control environment.
## Significance
Lattice represents the move from isolated platforms to an operational mesh. Its importance in the home-court argument is architectural: sensors and effectors become participants in a software-defined arena whose data model, interfaces, permissions, and update rates shape what commanders can perceive and do.

## Civilian intelligence marketplace
Anduril's software platform integrates sensing, autonomy, and operational decision support. Its platform role links separate devices and applications with a usable mission picture.
Defense builders, technical executives, specialist firms, researchers, and public officers occupy different rungs of the market. Products and demonstrated engineering can become programs, contracts, or reserve-service contributions. Bryant frames those routes as ways for capable Americans to supply national strength through building and disciplined participation.
