MIT Technology Review obtained new details on Anduril's EagleEye military AR headset, prototyped with Meta under a $159M Army contract. VP Quay Barnett describes the goal as optimizing 'the human as a weapons system' — soldiers and drones sharing vision, with voice commands and eye-tracking to order surveillance and approve strike recommendations through chain of command. Initial delivery of ~100 units to select infantry brigades is slated for 2026. The defense-AI convergence is now at the individual soldier level.
