- 02. Lattice coordinated cameras, sensors and drones end to end; $1.2M first place plus a $1M detection-accuracy bonus
Anduril has won the Autonomous Wildfire Response track of the XPRIZE. Teams had to detect and fully suppress a high-risk fire within ten minutes of ignition across a thousand square kilometres of terrain without being fooled by decoy fires, in finals held in the Alaskan wilderness. Anduril's Lattice software coordinated cameras, sensors and drones from detection to suppression with minimal human input, winning $1.2 million plus a $1 million bonus for detection accuracy.
