Eight weeks after Anduril won a $99.6 million prototype Other Transaction Authority agreement for the Army’s Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2), the 4th Infantry Division became the first unit to use NGC2 in live fire training at an event called Ivy Sting 1. The exercise demonstrated a division-level targeting process running entirely on Anduril’s Lattice Mesh and Palantir’s Target Workbench (TWB) from headquarters down to the gun line, firing faster, more reliably and more resiliently than legacy systems.

In 2026, the Home Guard will continue testing and trials of the ATAK system as part of the units' technical development. The system's many different functions would mean major advances in streamlining the collection and sharing of information.
