The contracts will also allow Anduril to further refine Ghost\u2019s hardware, she said, and develop specific autonomous behaviors for the aircraft to perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ghost contract will be for 12 months, and the Ghost-X contract will be for 18 months, Haft said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ghost-X made its debut Sept. 12 at the DSEI defense conference in London. Anduril said at the time that Ghost-X\u2019s upgrades will allow it to fly longer than its predecessor, or up to 75 minutes, and carry a payload of up to 20 pounds, which would be roughly twice as much weight as the original Ghost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anduril said Ghost-X was created using feedback from a range of customers who have flown the original Ghost for more than 1,000 hours in a variety of environments, including combat theaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of those combat zones is Ukraine, Haft said, though the company would not say anything else about how Ghost has been used there citing security concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ghost-X\u2019s upgrades will give it a modular carriage that is able to carry multiple payloads, and more resilience to operate in more challenging operational environments, Anduril said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ghost uses Anduril\u2019s Lattice software to control its autonomous capabilities and fly largely on its own, the company said, allowing it to automate mission planning, manage its airspace, and conduct flight operations, lessening the burden on operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anduril\u2019s work with the Ghost drones under this contract will support the Air Force\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2022\/11\/01\/air-force-launches-autonomy-prime-program-in-hunt-for-new-tech\/\" target=\"_blank\">AFWERX innovation unit<\/a>, which aims to help industry develop technologies that can help counter threats worldwide. AFWERX in fall 2022 launched a new program called Autonomy Prime to collaborate with defense firms to push autonomous technologies forward and try to turn them into official programs of record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Air Force and Anduril work to further develop the Ghost aircraft, the company said airmen will modify government software, integrate it into Ghost\u2019s open architecture autonomous programming, and then test how well it performs. Anduril said the open architecture structure would allow Ghost to be quickly modified to meet a commander\u2019s needs and adjust to changes on the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Ghost platform adapts to user needs with a flexible design that allows operators to integrate sensors, communications, navigation and other modular mission payloads,\u201d Anduril said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghost drones have flown over Ukraine during the conflict with Russia.
